How Facebook ads can help market your business.

Facebook ads are a powerful tool for reaching your target audience, increasing brand awareness, and driving sales. With over 2.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook offers unparalleled opportunities for businesses to connect with potential customers. At Pipeline Media, we regularly create Facebook ads for our customers.

There are three basic categories of Facebook ad –

Awareness: Increase brand awareness and reach.

Consideration: Drive traffic, engagement, app installs, video views, lead generation, and messages.

Conversion: Boost conversions, catalogue sales, and store visits.

Before creating an ad, we help determine what you want to achieve. It’s important you understand your audience as Facebook’s robust targeting options allow you to define your audience based on –

  • Demographics: Age, gender, education, job title etc.
  • Location: Country, state, city, or even a specific radius.
  • Interests: Hobbies, interests, and pages they follow.
  • Behaviour: Purchase behaviour, device usage, and more.
  • Custom Audiences: Upload your customer list, app data, or website traffic.
  • Lookalike Audiences: Reach new people who are similar to your best customers.

Creating a detailed audience profile helps ensure your ads are seen by the right people.

We are experts at creating compelling and creative ad copy. Your ad’s success depends on how well it captures and retains attention.

We always consider the following –

Headline: Make it catchy and relevant.

Text: Keep it concise and focused on a single message or call-to-action (CTA).

Images/Videos: Use high-quality visuals that reflect your brand and resonate with your audience.

Call To Action: Encourage users to take the desired action with a clear and compelling CTA, such as “Shop Now,” “Learn More,” or “Sign Up.”

Your Budget and Schedule: Facebook allows you to control your ad spend with flexible budgeting options.

You can also schedule your ads to run continuously or within a specific date range. Additionally, you can optimise ad delivery based on your objectives, such as impressions, link clicks, or conversions.

Once your ad is live in the Facebook world, we will monitor their performance using Facebook’s Ads Manager. Key metrics to track include Reach, Impressions, Click-Through Rate, Cost Per Click and Conversions.

Using Facebook ads effectively requires strategic planning, creative execution, and continuous optimisation. By clearly defining your objectives, understanding your audience, selecting the right ad formats, and leveraging data-driven insights, you can maximise the impact of your Facebook ad campaigns and achieve your marketing goals.

We can help you start small, test different approaches, and scale what works best for your business.
