Social Media Marketing
Stay Top of Mind With Prospective Customers Through Facebook and Instagram Ads
Advertising strategies like pay-per-click Google Ads and local SEO focus on getting the attention of consumers who are ready to make a purchase right away or in the near future. However, this only covers one small part of the buyer’s journey. You also need to consider your passive prospect audience—that is, people who are likely interested in your products or services but not looking to make a purchase right now. Courting this audience will help you stay top of mind when it is time to purchase so you can see continual growth in your customer base.
Advertising on Meta with Facebook and Instagram ads can help you laser focus on your ideal audience and build awareness and trust in your brand with that audience over time. Local Pointer can help you master Meta ads to capture the attention of the right audience at the right times.
What Meta Advertising Has to Offer
One of the greatest advantages of advertising on Meta’s social media platforms is the ability to access audience data that lets you fully personalize your messaging to the people who are most likely to be interested in your products and services and align with your brand values. Instead of sending a generic message out for the whole world to see, you’ll be sending a highly specific and personalized message to a much smaller audience—but it’s one that’s much more likely to engage and make it more likely for consumers to take action when the time is right.
If you’re thinking, “Why can’t I just use my business’s social media pages to reach my target audience with unpaid posts?” you’re not alone. Many local businesses assume that simply posting on major social media sites is enough to get their audience’s attention. However, your organic social posts only reach the people who already follow your brand on social media. Even then, your posts may be buried in users’ feeds, so they’re not likely to get much engagement. Utilizing paid social media ads will give you optimal positioning and visibility to be seen by your passive prospect audience.
Types of Meta Ads
Meta ads can function to create brand awareness and build brand trust among your target audience. There are two primary types of Meta ads that can achieve these goals:
1.
Billboard
Billboard ads are designed to offer an introduction to your brand, shown to users who have not clicked on your profile or visited your website but may still be interested in your brand. But don’t let the name fool you—unlike traditional billboards that are displayed to the general public, billboard ads are shown to audiences who have the same interests and demographics as your best existing customers.
2.
boomerang
Boomerang ads help you combat the short attention span of web users and stay on their minds until they’re ready to make a purchase. These are shown to users who have visited your website but have not yet made a purchase or haven’t made a purchase in a while. They can offer a closer look at your brand values, promote special offers, and utilize more specific messaging that turns a prospective customer into a paying customer.
