Which Facebook Ads Are Most Effective?

Want to take that next step with your marketing but not sure exactly how to do it? Let’s talk about which Facebook ads are the most effective for your goals!

There is a lot of a grey area here because your goals might be different from someone else’s. If you want to create an ad that will drive your audience to buy a new product, an engagement campaign isn’t what you want. Quick run-through on what each campaign is:

#1: Conversion Campaign: Show your ads to the people who are most likely to take action, like buying something or calling you from your website. 

#2: Store Traffic: Show your ad to people most likely to visit your physical stores when they’re near them.

#3: Catalog Sales: Use your target audience to show people ads with items from your catalog.

#4: Messages: Show people ads that allow them to engage with you on Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram Direct.

#5: Lead Generation: Use forms, calls, or chats to gather info from people interested in your business.

#6: Video Views: Show people video ads.

#7: App Installs: Show your ad to people most likely to download and engage with your app.

#8: Engagement: Get more Page likes, event responses, or post reactions, comments, or shares.

#9: Traffic: Send people to a website, app, or Facebook event, or let them tap to call you.

#10: Reach: Show your ads to the maximum number of people.

#11: Brand Awareness: Show your ads to people who are most likely to remember them.

As you can see, each campaign objective will help you accomplish a specific goal! All you have to do is choose the one that best fits within your goals for marketing & let Facebook help you deliver it to the right people! For example, let’s say you want to create an ad that will get people to sign up for a specific promo you are offering. You can do a couple of things: #1: A Lead Generation campaign! This will require people in your audience to either fill out a lead form, call you, or send a message in messenger (All options in a Lead Generation campaign). #2: Conversion campaign! Here you can send people to a particular website or landing page to register online or sign up via contact form! 

Ending note: Even with the new ios14 update and us not able to track all of the data we use, having a Pixel set up on your website/landing page is essential to get the most information out of your ads. This will help determine how well your ads perform or what needs to be adjusted.
