For that, we have nine proven tips that are guaranteed to help.<\/p>\n
1. Thoroughly Segment The Target Audience And Frame it With AIDA<\/h3>\n
First of all, you should always leverage the audience targeting capabilities of Facebook.<\/p>\n
That requires mapping and planning your campaigns and ad sets to target different users with highly relevant ads that can capture their attention, generate genuine interest, turn that into desire, and ultimately action.<\/p>\n
Where possible, smaller audiences will allow you to create more relevant and compelling ad copy that can resonate with your target audience.<\/p>\n
The trick here is to find the right balance between audience size and the platform\u2019s ability to gather enough data to optimize.<\/p>\n
That said, the Attention, Interest, Desire, Action (AIDA) framework \u2013 which some define<\/a> as \u201cthe four stages a consumer goes through before making a purchasing decision\u201d \u2013 should be what underpins your strategic approach and keeps it all together.<\/p>\n A clear audience profile<\/a> will always help, so if possible, you should create personas representing your key segments.<\/p>\n You must understand what motivates your customers and what triggers you can leverage to make them take action and convert.<\/p>\n What is their need? What is important to them?<\/p>\n And how can you help them with that?<\/p>\n Are they moved by emotions, or are they more of a rational type that resonates with numbers and facts?<\/p>\n Understanding and answering these questions will allow you to create ads and copy that is more effective and likely to convert.<\/p>\n Emotions move human beings.<\/p>\n We take actions because we have an intent, whether that is to fulfill a need or for simple gratification, like entertainment.<\/p>\n But for that to happen, we need to create a connection. Therefore, we need a trigger.<\/p>\n In the example below, it is difficult not to feel connected!<\/p>\n Also, one of the most powerful triggers is fear of missing out (FOMO).<\/p>\n When relevant, highlight such elements in your ad copy as scarcity, time-sensitive offers, or anything that might be too good to be dismissed.<\/p>\n With a thorough understanding of your target audience comes the opportunity to clearly address their pain points within the ad copy and highlight the benefits your solution will provide them.<\/p>\n If you have done a good job segmenting and narrowing down your target audience, you can leverage empathy to connect and engage with them.<\/p>\n Letting your prospecting customers know that you understand their problem and can help them is a surefire way to reach those users that are more likely to respond to your ads, and might be ready to convert.<\/p>\n Once you grab their attention, clearly (and concisely) stating how you will help should focus on enticing them to take action.<\/p>\n A strong ad call to action (CTA)<\/a> is also strongly recommended.<\/p>\n The example below shows how Nike leverages one of the biggest pain points for people that want to exercise: motivation.<\/p>\n Notice also the strong CTA: \u201cCome Run with Us.\u201d Clear, straight to the point, effective.<\/p>\n See more on the CTA down below.<\/p>\n While the emotional trigger can work for most people, a more rational approach might drive others.<\/p>\n For those keeping it to the facts, using numbers and stats<\/a> will likely work best and drive conversions instead of emotional triggers \u2013 which might also be more relevant to certain industries than others.<\/p>\n For example, while you can see how some people might resonate with numbers and stats when talking about a home loan or mortgage, the same might not be true for the travel industry if you are selling packaged holidays.<\/p>\n No matter what the ad\u2019s objective is, whether to attract attention, instill desire, or trigger an action, the ad copy should always have a clear, strong, and unique CTA.<\/p>\n Even in adverts, people respond to instructions \u2013 likely because they don\u2019t want to think about what they should do.<\/p>\n Guiding them in their decisions is more likely to be successful than leaving them wondering.<\/p>\n Going back to the example above and the importance of thoroughly segmenting our target audience, it goes without saying that a solid testing framework should always complement the segmentation.<\/p>\n It is key to the success of any campaign not only to try different messaging and targeting settings but also, to evolve and proactively refresh the creative<\/a>, and specifically, in your case, the copy.<\/p>\n That way, the ads remain fresh and relevant, increasing your chances of converting.<\/p>\n Talking about ads that evolve with time, I strongly believe that advertisers often miss the opportunity to deeply engage with their audiences in favor of what (for me) is more like instant gratification.<\/p>\n2.
