Facebook has 269 million daily active users in North America. It is not only a place to share family photos and keep in touch with friends, but also a treasure trove for businesses to reach a large number of loyal audiences. Facebook ads can help your business reach a wide customer base.

Although everyone is familiar with using Facebook for personal matters, to promote business, we still need to understand this platform deeply. In this article, PASA will share some tips for successfully launching Facebook ads, including:

Audience targeting, copywriting, creative design

Precise Audience Targeting

Remember, not everyone is your ideal customer. So, although it may sound counterintuitive, don't expect to attract more customers through broad targeting. The more precise your target, the higher the relevance of the ad to the audience, and usually, the better the conversion rate.

But don't be too specific, limiting the advertising opportunities. An audience range of one hundred to five million is appropriate.

Does your business serve multiple audiences or customer types? If so, remember, abandoning poorly performing ads is not always the best choice.

Sometimes, ads targeting one part of the audience may not convert well, but ads targeting another part may be very effective. So, don't be afraid to adjust the target settings and see how it works.

The Importance of Logical Settings

Before you spend a penny on Facebook ads, make sure you use logic correctly. Remember: "AND" means your ad will be shown to people who have all the characteristics you set; "OR" means the ad will be shown to people who meet one or more conditions, but not necessarily all.

If you use the logic incorrectly, you might exclude most of your target audience or include people who shouldn't be included, which will waste your budget.

Building Trust with Social Proof

Did your app get thousands of five-star reviews on the App Store? Mention it to encourage potential users to check it out. Got positive reviews from satisfied customers? Incorporate this into your ad copy and other creatives to build trust.

Clear Localization and Calls to Action

Do you only serve local customers? To prevent interested people from overlooking your ad, make sure they immediately know your ad is relevant to them. If they know you have what they want and provide services to them, they are more likely to convert.

If it's an online service, clearly write out the website information.

Don't assume that people who see your ad will automatically know what to do next. Provide clear and specific instructions, emphasizing the benefits of taking the action you recommend. For example, replace "Contact us" with "Call 1 (234) 123123123 for a 30-minute free consultation!"

Utilization of Visual Elements

Adding emojis to your Facebook ads can help attract users' attention and make your ad copy stand out. At the same time, the right emojis can also humanize your brand.

Your audience may only see a few sentences of ad copy before clicking "See More," while images and videos are different, they take up more space and are likely to attract attention. But the premise is that you can't treat them as an afterthought. This means not using bland stock photos. Choose high-quality original images and opt for eye-catching colors and layouts as much as possible.

You also need to ensure that your image or video marketing assets comply with the platform requirements on Facebook ads. This will ensure that your images and videos are eligible to be displayed in the way you want and provide a high-quality experience for the ad viewers.

Brand Consistency and Emotional Resonance

When browsing Facebook, people can easily scroll through ads unconsciously, which is disadvantageous for you as an advertiser. You need to make people see your ad first, then they can click or convert. Therefore, the solution is to keep the aesthetics of the images and videos—the logo, colors, and overall atmosphere of the small business—consistent with the brand. This way, if a person has previously encountered your brand, then brand recall and brand awareness will play a role, grabbing their attention before they shift their focus.

It may be tempting to choose colors, images, or audio that you like. Instead, you should choose content that can attract the audience and is consistent with the atmosphere created by your copy.

Want to inspire positive emotions in your audience? Images and videos of smiling people are better than those with neutral or negative emotions, and bright colors may be better than dark ones.

A/B Testing and Optimization

Even well-performing ads can be improved. Therefore, conduct A/B testing on the same ad. Although the target positioning should remain the same for more accurate insights, each variant should test a single change to the ad copy or visual effects so that you can determine which aspects of the variant can improve the ad performance.

Alternatively, you can even try testing various types of ads, such as Facebook Lead Ads and Facebook Carousel Ads. These two Facebook ads in the same ad set are conducting A/B tests on slightly different ad copies and creatives.
