Facebook & Instagram Campaign Structure

1. Lead Magnet Campaigns - See & Think

A lead magnet is a free resource that attracts potential customers for your niche to click on.

Lead magnets are at the top of the funnel as they target those not yet in the consideration stage. By providing valuable content, you can turn these people into leads and further nurture them.

The conversion path that turns website visitors into leads – and the role email marketing plays in this process include:

  • Call to Action (CTA)
  • Landing Page
  • Thank-You Page
  • Follow-Up Email

Lead Magnet Audiences

The goal of a lead magnet is to offer something your audience wants in exchange for their contact information.

To do this, you have to know what user persona you're targeting and what offer would entice them.

There are 2 ways to set up the lead magnet campaign targeting according to your business goals:

  • Brand Awareness - Broad audience targeting to build your custom audience base
    • Traffic campaign
    • Boosted posts
    • Demographics audience
  • Use custom build audiences such as:
    • Website visitors
    • Social media Engagements (Facebook and Instagram)
    • Contact list audience

2. Local Business Campaign - See

Local marketing is a strategy that targets potential customers within a specific radius (up to 50 miles) of the business's physical location.

It's also known as location-based marketing, neighbourhood marketing, or local store marketing.

Advantages of running local ads on Facebook:

  • Easily target people within a certain geographical area of your business.
  • Easily promote coupons and offers specific to the local demographics.
  • Target people who have bought from you in the past.

Local Business Audiences

If your business is in a local market, you have a finite group of people you can serve. In any given market, there’s usually a population that’s ready to buy what you have. However, a higher percentage of users usually need what you have and are open to buying from you but they simply don’t know it yet.

Facebook local ad campaigns can be leveraged to focus primarily on educating your audience – not only on your industry, products/services, or business but also on the topics that relate directly to your business.

Use personalized messaging to target local users and get them to try your services and products by promoting offers and store visits.

3. Webinar Campaigns

Use Facebook ads to drive people to a landing page or Facebook Lead Form Ads. These allow people to opt-in to your email list directly from the Facebook app, so there’s less friction involved in the process.

Contact the leads through email or Facebook messenger to remind them about the webinar. In this way, you get to use conversational informality to build a better relationship with your prospects. 

Test Facebook Messenger Ads to offer more dynamic personalization features. Promote your webinar and ask the users to send them a message that they would answer in the webinar. Facebook offers two ad types in Messenger Ads: Click to message and Sponsored message.

Webinar Campaigns

 

Webinar Audiences

Build Custom Audiences 

Take advantage of the custom audiences feature in Facebook Ads to target people who registered for past webinars as they are a potentially high-intent mid-funnel audience.

Target those who’ve purchased certain products or those who’ve visited combinations of your web pages. Increase customer retention by empowering your existing customers with product use case-specific tips. This way, you’re maximizing your ad budget because you’re only targeting people your brand has come in contact with already.

Webinar Audiences

4. E-commerce Campaigns

As a business, the chance of your target audience seeing your organic content on social media is lower than ever before. It’s becoming increasingly necessary to pay to play.

Users will see your products and can be directed to your Shopify site or a custom landing page.

An effective eCommerce paid strategy considers these:

  • Messaging
  • Eye-catching Ad Creatives
    • Retargeting Campaigns
  • Campaign Optimization
