How to Get The Most From Your Facebook Advertising Efforts

By Maria Cohen


You can connect with your target market in a more direct way using the advertising system that was launched by the world's premier social platform, Facebook. The intent of this article is provide you with methods you can use to make the most out of the Facebook advertising platform.

When you want your traffic to truly convert, you'll need to use your landing page to help convert visitors into buyers. This means that you should make it as easy as possible for the people who land on your page to actually buy from you. Giving away coupons for your products is a great way to achieve this. This is a wonderful strategy that helps you increase sales which, in turn, gives you more profits that you can reinvest into your business. The more sales you make with this method, the more cash you will have to spend on future Facebook advertising campaigns.

If you intend to use a special landing page for the traffic you generate through Facebook, ensure that you are using a squeeze page to grow your subscriber list. People are more likely to make a purchase if they know you and less likely to buy the first time they see a sales page, which is why sending people straight to a sales page is less effective. Converting your subscribers to customers is a lot easier than just aiming to convert your first time visitors to customers. There isn't an online entrepreneur who doesn't know the importance of follow-up marketing, which simply refers to staying touch on a regular basis with your prospects and attempting to close a sale at a later date. It also goes by "drip marketing."

You also want your ads to generate a high click through rate, because a higher CTR will mean a lower cost per click for that ad. Just like Adwords, even Facebook has the same kind of standards for determining the performance of an ad. Thus, you should try multiple image in your ads to find which ones generate the best results. If you want to find which demographic group to target in terms of revenue, the easiest way to do it is by crafting ads targeted at the different groups and then choosing the right group based on your results.

Facebook ad campaigns, at least the effective ones, are a lot more involved than just quickly dashing off an ad and running it in the system. It involves due diligence, skilled decision making, patience and above all perseverance in the face of failure. Any advertiser on Facebook will tell you that you need to be consistent if you want to get results.
