For Businesses: Growing Sales
Objectives to Choose
- Conversions (for eCommerce or service signups)
- Traffic (to send people to your website)
- Leads (great for service-based businesses)
- Catalog Sales (if you sell multiple products)
Strategies
- Retargeting Campaigns
- Show ads to people who visited your site or added to cart but didn’t purchase.
- Use Meta Pixel to track website behavior.
- Lookalike Audiences
- Create audiences similar to your existing customers for high-quality targeting.
- Dynamic Product Ads
- Auto-show products to users based on what they viewed on your site.
- Offer Discounts or Time-Limited Deals
- Promote urgency with a “limited time offer” to increase conversions.
- UGC (User-Generated Content)
- Ads that feel like testimonials or “unboxing” content convert really well.
For Content Creators: Growing Followers & Reach
Objectives to Choose
- Engagement (likes, comments, shares)
- Video Views (for Reels or long-form video)
- Brand Awareness (to reach a broad audience)
- Page or Profile Growth (if you’re boosting your page)
Strategies
- Boost High-Performing Organic Posts
- Identify which Reels or posts already do well organically, then boost them.
- Use Reel Ads
- These blend seamlessly into the feed and are highly engaging.
- Target Niche Interests
- Use detailed targeting to find users who follow similar creators or pages.
- Run “Follow Me” Campaigns
- Create short videos asking people to follow you and show what value you bring.
- Collaborate & Tag
- Promote collab content with another creator and run a paid partnership ad.
Tips for Both
- Test, Optimize, Repeat – Start with a small budget, A/B test creatives and audiences.
- Keep Creative Native – Your ads should feel like regular content to avoid being skipped.
- Use Captions – Especially for Reels or Stories—many users watch without sound.
- CTA is Key – Use strong Calls-to-Action like “Shop Now,” “Learn More,” or “Follow for More.”
