Facebook Marketing
More than a popularity contest
If you’ve tried social media and you didn’t feel like you got much return for all the time and effort spent - then you’re not alone.
Facebook has come a long way since Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates at Harvard invented it as a “hot or not” game exclusively for students at the university.
Back then, it was a popularity contest. Even when the social network expanded globally and had commercial applications, businesses struggled with ways to monetize “likes,” engagement, and fans.
Today, Facebook is the go-to digital strategy when businesses look to advertise online. It has a global reach, but it is becoming a pricier platform as millions of marketers rush to cash in on Facebook ads. Still, it’s more budget-friendly and far more effective than print or mainstream media.
Thanks to targeting, retargeting, advanced analytics, and low barriers to entry, Facebook marketing is here to stay.
Strategies that work
As you know, Google’s customers are people conducting Internet searches. Similarly, Facebook’s customers are people who use the social media network to keep up with friends and family, share updates about their lives, keep current with news and events, and be entertained.
Advertisers tend to think that they are Facebook’s customers, but that is incorrect. As an advertiser, Facebook wants you to create ads that make their platform enjoyable (or at least that don’t detract from the experience). As a result, the better your ads are, the higher the chance you have of realising a positive ROI.
Facebook wants you to create ads that their users enjoy. Video adverts, relevant targeting, and sharable content campaigns can yield triple-digit returns while also positioning your brand for long-term growth.
At EDGE, these types of returns are the norm. Every company is different, but we’ll work with you to maximise your profits while minimising your investment.
Advertising best practices
To be successful with Facebook advertising, it pays to target prospects most likely to do business with you and inspire them with a compelling call to action. It’s not unusual for a company to have several avatars, offers and selling propositions that can result in a multitude of campaigns.
