Facebook Ads are perhaps the best form of online advertising around today. Why is that? Facebook has over 2 billion users around the world, and because Facebook collects so much data from these users, including you and me, you can leverage that data to reach potential customers.
The key is to run targeted ads on Facebook. And, you can do that by building custom ads through the Facebook Ads Manager platform. There are a couple things you can do to achieve this:
- Target Your Ads
If you have a CRM or an email list of any kind, you can import that data into Facebook. Whenever you run ads (even if your ad budget is as little as R100 or R200), you can ensure that the ads you run are seen by the right audience. The biggest mistake that marketers make is throwing money at Facebook without running targeted ads.
If you are a real estate agent, for example, consider targeting first-time home buyers or people who have enquired about properties. You have the data at your fingertips, so use it wisely.
- What Is Your Objective?
Are you buying clicks, engagement, views or leads? Make sure your ads are not only targeted at the right audience, but also that the ads speak to your objective. If you are spending money on Facebook ads, you should not just throw your money away to get views or comments on a video. Have a clear objective in mind. What you want are buyers. So, make sure your objective is tailored to what your end game is.
