臉書營銷。每個(gè)人都說你應(yīng)該這樣做，但是知道你應(yīng)該在網(wǎng)上營銷你的業(yè)務(wù)和實(shí)際有效地做是兩回事。

建立一個(gè)商業(yè)頁面，投放廣告，整理發(fā)布時(shí)間表，創(chuàng)造偉大的內(nèi)容…你從哪里開始呢？

好消息是，在這篇文章中，我們將揭開臉書營銷的神秘面紗。臉書營銷是一個(gè)大話題，所以這不會(huì)是一個(gè)快速閱讀，但我們會(huì)涵蓋你需要知道的一切，以營銷你的臉書業(yè)務(wù)。沒有廢話，只是你今天可以使用的實(shí)用建議。

準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？讓我們開始吧！

為什么選擇臉書營銷？

在我們深入研究臉書營銷的細(xì)節(jié)之前，讓我們后退一步，看看為什么臉書營銷對(duì)大多數(shù)企業(yè)來說是一個(gè)好的投資。

答案相當(dāng)簡單：達(dá)到。

良好的數(shù)字營銷可以讓你與潛在客戶建立聯(lián)系，否則他們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)購買你的產(chǎn)品。多虧了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，這些人可以在世界任何地方，如果他們對(duì)你賣的東西感興趣，你可以在網(wǎng)上給他們打廣告。

當(dāng)然，訣竅在于找出如何接觸到你的目標(biāo)受眾。這是臉書真正閃光的地方。

截至2017年12月，臉書在全球擁有14億日活躍用戶。是的，那是帶" b "的十億。如果這還不夠，這些用戶平均每天花50分鐘在臉書上。

所以，如果你想面對(duì)大量的潛在客戶，臉書是很難被打敗的。

然而，所有這些都帶來了負(fù)面影響：大多數(shù)用戶可能不太關(guān)心你賣的是什么。如果你不小心你的臉書營銷，你可能會(huì)花費(fèi)大量的時(shí)間，金錢和精力向錯(cuò)誤的人推銷你的業(yè)務(wù)。

與任何營銷渠道一樣，臉書營銷的訣竅是弄清楚如何在正確的時(shí)間將正確的營銷內(nèi)容呈現(xiàn)在正確的人面前……這就是本文接下來的內(nèi)容。

是什么讓臉書營銷與眾不同

好的營銷就是建立關(guān)系。是的，你可能會(huì)從定價(jià)、廣告支出回報(bào)、參與率或其他寬泛的指標(biāo)來考慮你的營銷，但對(duì)你的客戶來說，這一切都是關(guān)于他們與你的品牌的關(guān)系。

我信任你的公司嗎？我相信你的觀點(diǎn)或信息嗎？我覺得你的企業(yè)致力于滿足我的需求嗎？我覺得你的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)值得我花錢嗎？

你的潛在客戶不斷地問自己這類問題。在他們購買之前，他們需要感覺到他們可以信任你的企業(yè)、你的品牌和你賣的東西。

換句話說，他們希望與你的企業(yè)建立信任關(guān)系。

好消息是，臉書是一個(gè)致力于人際關(guān)系的在線平臺(tái)。社交媒體就是與他人建立、分享和保持關(guān)系。這一點(diǎn)很重要，因?yàn)槟愕哪槙鵂I銷的成敗將取決于你能否利用臉書注重社交和關(guān)系的特性與你的潛在客戶建立積極的關(guān)系。

我現(xiàn)在提出這個(gè)想法是因?yàn)樗鼘⑹俏覀冊(cè)诒疚氖Ｓ嗖糠钟懻摰乃袃?nèi)容的基礎(chǔ)。為了讓你的臉書營銷成功，你需要專注于幫助你的目標(biāo)受眾與你的企業(yè)建立積極的關(guān)系。

就像你的人際關(guān)系一樣，如果你的業(yè)務(wù)讓人討厭、垃圾郵件或者要求苛刻，人們不會(huì)喜歡你，也不會(huì)對(duì)你的營銷做出好的回應(yīng)。但是，如果你樂于助人、有趣并提供價(jià)值，你將贏得人們的心——以及他們的生意。

設(shè)置您的臉書商務(wù)頁面

不管你想如何使用臉書來營銷你的公司，你不能沒有臉書網(wǎng)頁做臉書營銷。這非常簡單(6000萬個(gè)企業(yè)已經(jīng)這樣做了，這意味著臉書有很多機(jī)會(huì)來完善他們的流程),所以讓我們快速瀏覽一下設(shè)置過程。

創(chuàng)建您的臉書頁面

臉書頁面與臉書頁面不同。是的，臉書的網(wǎng)頁看起來非常像臉書的個(gè)人資料，但它提供了各種不同的營銷選項(xiàng)，這是普通的個(gè)人資料所沒有的。

例如，以下是破壞的的臉書頁面：

正如你在上面看到的，你"喜歡"一個(gè)企業(yè)，而不是"加為好友",臉書頁面可以有評(píng)論，列出地址，包括聊天選項(xiàng)，甚至提供"立即呼叫"或"訪問網(wǎng)站"等行動(dòng)按鈕。

如果你想通過臉書的個(gè)人資料來推廣你的業(yè)務(wù)，請(qǐng)注意，臉書有刪除或屏蔽使用這種方式的賬戶的傾向。此外，臉書頁面讓你可以訪問營銷選項(xiàng)，如臉書廣告，這是你無法用個(gè)人資料運(yùn)行的，所以為你的企業(yè)創(chuàng)建一個(gè)臉書頁面是非常值得的。

要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建您的臉書頁面，請(qǐng)單擊此處。

此時(shí)，您可以選擇要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建的頁面類型：

您選擇的頁面類型將會(huì)改變您在頁面上可以訪問的字段，因此最好選擇一種與您想要在臉書上完成的任務(wù)非常接近的頁面類型。

例如，如果你是一家當(dāng)?shù)卮壬茩C(jī)構(gòu)，經(jīng)常舉辦社區(qū)活動(dòng)來籌集資金，你可能會(huì)更好地選擇"事業(yè)或社區(qū)"而不是"當(dāng)?shù)仄髽I(yè)或地方",即使從技術(shù)上講你跨越了這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

你必須有一個(gè)個(gè)人臉書帳戶來管理臉書頁面，所以你需要在選擇你的公司名稱后登錄到你的個(gè)人帳戶（小心選擇你的名稱，因?yàn)樵谀愕捻撁嫔暇€后更改它會(huì)很麻煩)。

一旦您登錄并選擇了您的企業(yè)名稱，點(diǎn)擊"開始"創(chuàng)建您的頁面！您將被重定向到閃亮的新頁面，在您開始使用它之前，您需要對(duì)其進(jìn)行一些定制。

個(gè)人資料圖片

這是社交媒體，所以你的個(gè)人資料照片很重要。無論你是在帖子上發(fā)表評(píng)論還是出現(xiàn)在搜索結(jié)果中，它都將在整個(gè)臉書識(shí)別你的企業(yè)。

如果你是一個(gè)有官方標(biāo)志的大企業(yè)，這是一個(gè)使用它的好地方。

或者，如果你是一名自由職業(yè)者或有一個(gè)基于個(gè)性的業(yè)務(wù)（藝術(shù)家，樂隊(duì)，公眾人物，MLM等),你可能想為你的個(gè)人資料圖片使用更個(gè)性化的照片。只要確保它至少是180 x 180像素。

封面照片

添加一張封面照片也是一個(gè)好主意，因?yàn)闆]有什么比空白的封面照片更能讓人覺得"我不知道我在臉書做什么"。你的封面照片是你的臉書頁面頂部的大水平圖像。

不像你的個(gè)人資料照片，你可以在封面照片上表現(xiàn)出一定的靈活性和創(chuàng)造性。例如，在破壞性的，我們?cè)谝荒甑牟煌瑫r(shí)間拍攝了不同的節(jié)日主題封面照片。

或者，你也可以用你的封面照片為即將到來的活動(dòng)或你目前正在進(jìn)行的特別銷售做廣告。

官方公布的臉書封面照片是851像素乘315像素，但是（像你的個(gè)人資料圖片一樣)你總是可以選擇上傳一張不符合這些尺寸的圖片，并使用臉書的裁剪功能來適當(dāng)調(diào)整你的圖片大小。

描述

臉書頁面的另一個(gè)重要元素是你的描述。圖片很棒，但是有些東西真的最好用文字來表達(dá)。

如果你在歡迎菜單中，你所要做的就是點(diǎn)擊"添加簡短描述"(很方便，是吧？).臉書有155個(gè)字符的字符限制，但一個(gè)好的描述應(yīng)該簡短而甜蜜，所以你希望不必?fù)?dān)心達(dá)到限制。

如果您想稍后編輯您的描述，您可以隨時(shí)點(diǎn)擊您的個(gè)人資料圖片下的菜單中的"關(guān)于"。這將為您提供編輯各種業(yè)務(wù)詳細(xì)信息的選項(xiàng)：

一般來說，帶有些許個(gè)性的專業(yè)描述效果最好。請(qǐng)記住，你正在努力建立一種關(guān)系，所以你想給人留下有趣和難忘的印象。但是，你仍然在經(jīng)營一家企業(yè)，所以你也需要聽起來很專業(yè)。

創(chuàng)建用戶名

最后，在你開始在臉書上推廣你的業(yè)務(wù)之前，你需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建一個(gè)用戶名。這是臉書將用于您的自定義臉書網(wǎng)址（又名，虛榮心網(wǎng)址)的唯一標(biāo)識(shí)符。

如前所述，改變你的臉書網(wǎng)址是相當(dāng)困難的，所以確保你選擇一個(gè)在可預(yù)見的將來你覺得舒服的名字。

不幸的是，臉書上有6000萬其他企業(yè)，你想用的用戶名很可能已經(jīng)被占用了。在這種情況下，您將有50個(gè)字符來找到一種方法，使您的用戶名唯一，而不會(huì)創(chuàng)建一個(gè)很難記住或與您的企業(yè)關(guān)聯(lián)的名稱。

要考慮的其他臉書頁面元素

此時(shí)，你的臉書頁面在技術(shù)上已經(jīng)完成，你可以開始運(yùn)行廣告或分享你的頁面。然而，有幾個(gè)額外的領(lǐng)域你可能要完成，特別是如果你計(jì)劃在你的網(wǎng)上營銷工作中大量使用你的臉書網(wǎng)頁。

添加其他用戶

臉書頁面相對(duì)于臉書頁面的優(yōu)勢(shì)之一是允許多人幫助管理您的頁面。為此，您需要管理您的頁面角色。

點(diǎn)擊頁面右上角的"設(shè)置"鏈接，然后點(diǎn)擊左側(cè)欄中的"頁面角色"。從那里，您將能夠通過姓名或電子郵件地址（使用"分配新的頁面角色"搜索欄)找到人，并在您的頁面上給他們分配一個(gè)角色。

通知

雖然這不會(huì)直接影響您在臉書上推廣業(yè)務(wù)的能力，但您可以點(diǎn)擊"設(shè)置"左側(cè)菜單欄中的"通知"選項(xiàng)，決定您希望臉書通知您頁面活動(dòng)的頻率。

行動(dòng)號(hào)召

還記得我們之前談到的添加行動(dòng)號(hào)召(CTA)的能力是創(chuàng)建臉書頁面的額外好處之一嗎？要選擇您的按鈕，請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊封面圖片下方的"添加按鈕"。

在那里，您將有幾個(gè)三醋酸纖維素按鈕選項(xiàng)可供選擇：

使用這些選項(xiàng)，您可以讓人們直接聯(lián)系您，預(yù)訂服務(wù)，訪問您的網(wǎng)站，甚至進(jìn)行購買。對(duì)于這些選項(xiàng)中的許多，你需要輸入一個(gè)網(wǎng)址、電話號(hào)碼或電子郵件，所以要確保你確切地知道你希望臉書把點(diǎn)擊你的按鈕的人送到哪里。

臉書市場(chǎng)營銷

從歷史上看，有兩種有效的方法來利用你的臉書頁面來營銷你的業(yè)務(wù)：1)通過張貼吸引人的內(nèi)容來有機(jī)地建立追隨者，或者2)付費(fèi)在臉書上投放廣告。

然而，由于臉書只有在你投放廣告時(shí)才能獲得報(bào)酬，而且大多數(shù)商業(yè)頁面的內(nèi)容并不那么吸引人，臉書使得在他們的平臺(tái)上使用有機(jī)內(nèi)容營銷你的業(yè)務(wù)變得越來越困難。

不管你稱這一舉動(dòng)是搶錢還是優(yōu)化他們的用戶體驗(yàn)，事實(shí)是，這些天來，如果你想在臉書營銷，你可能必須付費(fèi)才能玩。

有機(jī)達(dá)到：真的死了嗎？

在我們開始討論如何建立和運(yùn)行有效的臉書廣告之前，讓我們花點(diǎn)時(shí)間來討論一下臉書有機(jī)廣告公司發(fā)生了什么。畢竟，在過去的十年里，營銷人員一直建議每個(gè)企業(yè)建立一個(gè)臉書網(wǎng)頁，并試圖通過有機(jī)內(nèi)容建立一個(gè)追隨者。

什么變了？

不幸的是，在過去的幾年里，臉書讓第一個(gè)選擇變得越來越難。2014年，臉書宣布，"發(fā)布推廣創(chuàng)意的頁面應(yīng)該預(yù)計(jì)它們的有機(jī)分布會(huì)隨著時(shí)間的推移而顯著下降。"

2016年，臉書在他們的新聞?dòng)嗛喫惴ㄖ刑砑恿艘恍┰兀宰柚裹c(diǎn)擊誘餌內(nèi)容顯示給用戶。然后，上個(gè)月，臉書宣布他們將重新配置他們的算法，以優(yōu)先考慮"來自朋友和家人的帖子，而不是公開內(nèi)容"。

最終結(jié)果？根據(jù)臉書的說法：

隨著我們進(jìn)行這些更新，頁面可能會(huì)看到他們的影響范圍，視頻觀看時(shí)間和推薦流量減少。這種影響會(huì)因頁面而異，受各種因素的影響，包括他們制作的內(nèi)容類型以及人們?nèi)绾闻c之互動(dòng)。發(fā)布人們通常不會(huì)回應(yīng)或評(píng)論的帖子的頁面可能會(huì)出現(xiàn)最大的分發(fā)量下降。帖子能促進(jìn)朋友間對(duì)話的頁面效果會(huì)更差。

所以，如果你碰巧管理著一個(gè)像"失敗軍隊(duì)"這樣廣受歡迎的頁面，已經(jīng)引發(fā)了很多評(píng)論和參與，這個(gè)更新可能不會(huì)傷害你。

另一方面，如果你像大多數(shù)企業(yè)一樣，要么只有很少的追隨者，要么你的帖子沒有很多評(píng)論，那么是時(shí)候表達(dá)你最后的敬意了：你的臉書有機(jī)食品區(qū)已經(jīng)死了。

你應(yīng)該繼續(xù)在臉書上發(fā)帖嗎？

雖然你可能不會(huì)從你的臉書帖子中獲得太多的有機(jī)聯(lián)系，但完全放棄你的臉書頁面并不是一個(gè)好主意。即使在有機(jī)發(fā)布仍然是在臉書推廣你的業(yè)務(wù)的合法途徑的時(shí)候，擁有一個(gè)臉書頁面的最大好處之一就是給潛在客戶一個(gè)了解你的業(yè)務(wù)的途徑。

還記得關(guān)系在臉書營銷中有多重要嗎？

你的臉書主頁是人們與你的企業(yè)建立關(guān)系的方式。因此，你在臉書頁面上發(fā)布的內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要——即使只有那些因?yàn)橄肓私饽愕臉I(yè)務(wù)而訪問你頁面的人才會(huì)看到它。

結(jié)合這個(gè)想法和你在臉書的有機(jī)接觸可能會(huì)相當(dāng)?shù)偷氖聦?shí)，你的臉書帖子應(yīng)該考慮到潛在的客戶。這并不意味著你在臉書的帖子都應(yīng)該是廣告。事實(shí)上，你通常應(yīng)該避免在臉書上發(fā)布過度宣傳的帖子。

相反，創(chuàng)建帖子來幫助人們了解你公司幕后的人。展示是什么讓你的公司變得"真實(shí)"和可信（點(diǎn)評(píng)是與潛在客戶建立信任的另一個(gè)好方法)。這樣，如果人們查看你的臉書頁面，他們會(huì)感覺到你、你的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)以及你的公司愿景之間的聯(lián)系，更有可能購買。

或者，如果你有很好的視頻內(nèi)容，很好地向人們介紹了你的品牌，這可能是另一個(gè)很好的方式來充分利用你的頁面內(nèi)容。

例如，在我們自己的頁面上有一個(gè)視頻"顛覆性的運(yùn)行",已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生了很多積極的反饋：

最后，因?yàn)槟愕哪槙撁娆F(xiàn)在更像是一個(gè)登陸頁面，而不是一個(gè)推送內(nèi)容的地方，所以把特別好的內(nèi)容放在頁面頂部可能是個(gè)好主意。這樣，當(dāng)人們?cè)L問你的頁面時(shí)，你最好的內(nèi)容將是他們首先看到的。

要鎖定文章，只需點(diǎn)擊文章右上角的向下箭頭，然后選擇"鎖定到頁面頂部"。在你發(fā)布新帖子之前，帖子會(huì)一直停留在你頁面的頂部。

隨著臉書的新聞?dòng)嗛喫惴ㄗ罱淖兓愕挠袡C(jī)接觸可能不是很好，但這并不意味著你的臉書頁面不能成為與潛在客戶建立關(guān)系的好方法。訣竅在于找出哪種類型的內(nèi)容最能讓人們相信你是一家他們可以信任的公司。

臉書廣告公司

好消息是，雖然臉書可能會(huì)打擊新聞提要中的有機(jī)營銷內(nèi)容，但你仍然可以獲得臉書營銷的力量……如果你愿意付費(fèi)的話。

顯然，付費(fèi)在臉書上運(yùn)行贊助內(nèi)容比簡單地在你自己的頁面上發(fā)布內(nèi)容要貴得多，但是臉書的廣告讓你接觸到更多的觀眾。如果你做得好，臉書廣告可以為你的生意帶來驚人的效果。

在臉書上投放付費(fèi)廣告

臉書有一個(gè)有趣的廣告模式。在臉書的廣告模式下，你定義一個(gè)你希望看到你廣告的目標(biāo)受眾，然后為你愿意在給定時(shí)間段內(nèi)花多少錢讓人們做一些事情（觀看你的視頻，點(diǎn)擊你的廣告，成為一個(gè)線索，進(jìn)行購買等)設(shè)定一個(gè)預(yù)算。

付費(fèi)搜索廣告只有在有人點(diǎn)擊你的廣告時(shí)才會(huì)付費(fèi)，與此不同，臉書使用的是一種更接近于按印象付費(fèi)的模式。臉書的算法盡最大努力讓盡可能多的人在你的預(yù)算內(nèi)采取你想要的行動(dòng)（又名，轉(zhuǎn)化),但如果你的廣告沒有很好地讓人們采取行動(dòng)，你最終會(huì)為每個(gè)行動(dòng)付出更多。

換句話說，臉書會(huì)拿走你的錢，把你的廣告放在你的目標(biāo)受眾面前，但要靠你來說服他們改變信仰。

考慮到這一點(diǎn)，讓我們來談?wù)勅绾卫媚槙鴱V告開展?fàn)I銷活動(dòng)。

建立臉書廣告活動(dòng)

臉書廣告使用一個(gè)三層系統(tǒng)來組織你的營銷工作。您的特定廣告包含在廣告系列中，而廣告系列又包含在活動(dòng)中。

第一次在臉書廣告中創(chuàng)建活動(dòng)時(shí)，您可以選擇兩個(gè)廣告管理平臺(tái)：廣告管理器和超級(jí)編輯器。總的來說，我建議新手使用廣告管理器，但是如果你正在運(yùn)行幾十個(gè)或幾百個(gè)廣告，你可能需要超級(jí)編輯器的附加工具。

要?jiǎng)?chuàng)建您的第一個(gè)活動(dòng)，請(qǐng)單擊臉書右上角的向下箭頭，然后單擊"創(chuàng)建廣告":

您將被帶到廣告管理器，那里會(huì)提示您選擇一個(gè)活動(dòng)目標(biāo)：

選擇您的目標(biāo)，命名您的活動(dòng)，然后點(diǎn)擊"設(shè)置廣告帳戶"(或者如果這不是您第一次在此帳戶上創(chuàng)建廣告，請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊"繼續(xù)")。

接下來，您將獲得多種目標(biāo)選項(xiàng)，可用于定義您的目標(biāo)受眾：

位置

如果你的公司是本地的，只向某些地區(qū)發(fā)貨，或者只想在某個(gè)地方做廣告，這是一個(gè)很好的設(shè)置。基本上，這個(gè)選項(xiàng)允許你使用不同級(jí)別的定位（城市，州，郵政編碼，國家等)來定位該位置指定半徑內(nèi)的任何人。

例如，如果您想要定位一個(gè)購物中心，您可以鍵入名稱或地址，并設(shè)置您所在位置的半徑。

你也可以瞄準(zhǔn)那些只住在那個(gè)特定地點(diǎn)的人，如果你是像牙醫(yī)一樣的人，這很好（相對(duì)于那些只是去那個(gè)特定地點(diǎn)的人)。或者你可以針對(duì)"這個(gè)地方的每個(gè)人",包括居民和路過的人。

人口統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)

根據(jù)您的企業(yè)通常服務(wù)的對(duì)象，這種設(shè)置可以很好地確保您的廣告只顯示給具有正確教育水平、政治派別、關(guān)系狀態(tài)或其他各種類別的人。

人口統(tǒng)計(jì)目標(biāo)的有用性將在很大程度上取決于你對(duì)你想要瞄準(zhǔn)的受眾的人口統(tǒng)計(jì)的了解程度。例如，關(guān)系狀態(tài)的改變對(duì)于婚禮場(chǎng)地來說是一個(gè)很好的目標(biāo)設(shè)定…但是對(duì)于餐館來說就沒那么有幫助了。

興趣

臉書通過查看用戶檔案中列出的興趣和他們喜歡的頁面來確定一個(gè)人的"興趣"。

這里再一次，usefu

lness of “Interests” will vary depending on what your business is trying to sell.

Behaviors

Behaviors allows you to target people based on job role, purchasing behavior or other specific actions that a user takes on Facebook.

As you might imagine, while these targeting options are interesting, certain companies will get a lot more value out of these targeting options than others. Fortunately, though, audience targeting isn’t your only targeting option for Facebook Ads.

In addition to the general targeting options listed above, there are a couple of other ways to target your ads that you should be aware of.

Retargeting

Another effective way to build an audience on Facebook is through retargeting. Facebook retargeting works much the same as every other type of retargeting, with one special advantage: you can use Facebook retargeting to create lookalike audiences.

We won’t get into the specifics of how to set up and use Facebook retargeting in this article, but it’s a great option to be aware of. For more information on how to set up and use Facebook retargeting, read this article.

Lookalike Audiences

Hopefully, in the process of marketing your business, you’ve collected a large list of emails. The good news is, you can upload that list of emails to Facebook and Facebook will find any profile associated with an email on that list. All of those profiles will go into a new?custom?audience that you can then target on Facebook.

So, if someone visited your website, filled out a form and then never responded to your outreach attempts, you can use this feature to get back in front of them on Facebook.

However, it doesn’t stop there.

Facebook also has a feature called “l(fā)ookalike audiences” that identifies Facebook users who are very similar to the users in your email list and creates an audience around those users that you can market to. This algorithm is remarkably effective, which means you can essentially use lookalike audiences to market to thousands or even millions of people who are highly similar to the people who have already expressed an interest in your firm.

As an added bonus, you can use lookalike audiences with your retargeting audiences, too, so you can focus your marketing efforts on the people who are most likely to respond to your ads. To learn more about how to use lookalike audiences, check out this article.

As you adjust your targeting, you’ll notice that the display gauge in the upper right-hand corner of the page updates with estimates of your audience size and estimated daily results.

These numbers take your objective, targeting and budget into account to give you an estimate of what you can expect from your advertising.

As you can probably imagine, what you’re selling and the ads you create can have a huge impact on how effective your ads actually are, but its a good idea to keep an eye on this information to get a feel for whether or not your targeting and budget are reasonable.

Finally, you have the option to define your budget and what metric Facebook will be optimizing your ad placements for. We’ll get into detail about how to pick your budget in a minute, but for now, let’s quickly talk about what your options are in this section.

The biggest decision here is whether you choose to run ads with a lifetime budget or a daily budget. With a daily budget, your ads will run all day, every day, but you can run the campaign for as long as you like and Facebook will turn off your ads when you hit your budget.

With a lifetime budget, your ads will run for a set period and you won’t spend more than your budget. However, Facebook may spend more on certain days and less on others. Also, the lifetime budget option gives you access to dayparting, which allows you to control what days and times your ads are shown.

The rest of these settings are fairly specific to your campaign and business goals, so we won’t worry about them for now. On to ad creation!

Creating an Ad

At this point, whether you realized it or not, you’ve created a campaign and an ad set. Now it’s time for the fun part, actually creating your ads! First, you’ll need to pick an ad format:

These ad types are fairly self-explanatory and most people opt for a carousel, single image or single video ad type. For certain businesses, canvas ads can be an interesting option as well (for more on that, click here).

At this point, you’ll need to upload a 1,200 pixel by 628 pixel featured image (or images/video, depending on the format you chose), write your headlines and body copy, pick an appropriate call-to-action and add any links you want people to click on.

In previous years, Facebook would not allow ads with images that were only 20% text. Today, Facebook is more relaxed about this rule, but it still gives priority to images with less text.

Fortunately, Facebook does offer a tool you can use to get a feel for how closely your image follows their guidelines, which you can check out here.

As you can probably imagine, these guidelines put a lot of pressure on you to write compelling ad copy for your Facebook ads. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you put your Facebook ads together.

Stay on Target

What’s the first thing you do when you create a Facebook Ad? You choose an objective, which aligns with the goal you want to accomplish. As you create your ads, you should constantly be asking yourself, “How will this help me achieve my goal?”

An ad meant to drive sales will have very different copy and imagery than an ad intended to get users engaging on a mobile app.

This ad uses “Learn More” to win over tentative users, instead of a more immediate “Sign-Up” CTA that might lose them.

With this in mind, you’ll also want to choose your CTA early on, even though it’s one of the last steps in the ad creation process. Knowing whether you want users to “l(fā)earn more,” “contact us,” or “shop now” can have a big effect on how you design your ad.

Think About Your Audience

Understanding your audience is just as important as knowing what you want them to do.?How will they use your product? What pain points do they have that you need to solve? Even within your overall audience, different niches will have different priorities, problems, and objections.

This ad solves the pain point of “healthy eating is hard” – not that it’s “expensive,” which would be the pain point for a different audience.

Picking the right images and ad copy is all about knowing who your audience is and what they want. If you don’t know who you are targeting, you’ll never be able to convince them to convert.

Create a?Hook

Your hook is the angle that you’re going to use to reel potential customers in. This is what will grab their attention. Emotional hooks are always a good option, but logical and educational hooks also work well.

In many cases, the hook will translate directly into the headline. The hook should tell users “why” they should care, click, watch, or convert.

Sometimes, the “why” comes before the “what,” offering up the pain point or the problem before the actual solution. This is a great way to approach your advertising, because it puts the problem fresh in the customer’s mind, giving you the perfect opportunity to present a solution they’ll be excited to hear.

Anticipate Their Objections

We mentioned objections briefly in the “understand your audience” section, but it’s essential to consider it again when you’re actively writing the ad copy: you must anticipate your audience’s objections so you can fight them.

Objections will be what prevents a user from converting, or even clicking. They assume that your meal delivery service will be too expensive, or that your beach shoes will be cheap material and fall apart the second they hit the hot sand.

Apple’s simple copy reminds users that “All the computer stuff you love” is still available on the iPad Pro. This is offsetting an objection of limited capabilities.

In addition, you should make sure that your ads don’t provoke any objections, and—if possible—puts them to rest. In some cases, even adding just one word to the copy can help prevent objections from ruining your ad’s potential. Saying “affordable meal delivery service” and “durable beach shoes” can offset objections from the get-go.

Keep it Simple, Stupid

For many business owners and marketers, our first instinct is to be like the entrepreneurs on Shark Tank who keep saying “oh and one more thing!” even after the Sharks have already made offers or bowed out. We know how amazing our products are, and we want the whole world to know every single reason why.

Realistically, you can only fit one or maybe two feature/benefits into a single Facebook or Instagram Ad. This means that we need to choose the one or two benefits that will speak to a specific audience’s pain points and interests the strongest.

Your sentences should also be short and sweet. Users typically skim through ad copy, so you want your point to get across cleanly and immediately.

One way to trim down your ad copy is to write a sentence and then chop away at least a third of the words. Keep the phrasing as compact and to-the-point as possible and your Facebook Ad copy will be significantly stronger.

While you’re fine-tuning the copy itself (which typically means cutting words), go through and eliminate any corny language that makes you sell like a bad car salesman or like an email containing a computer-crashing virus.

This includes how you choose to punctuate and capitalize the copy—no one wants to see all caps informing you that “ONLY THREE DAYS LEFT ON THE BEST SALE WE’VE EVER HAD DON’T MISS IT YOU’LL REGRET IT.”

There’s no reason for this ad to have the link to the site in the ad itself. It should just be in the CTAit clutters the copy and looks like spam. It also lacks transparency by saying “see how much you can save!” instead of telling users outright.

Some emojis can be okay, but adding lots of arrows pointing to where you want users to click is a no-go. You’ll also want to eliminate phrases like “Stock going fast, you’ll miss out if you don’t order now!” This works fine in an email, but it’s wasting up limited space in an ad, and just comes across like a bad line.

Short and sweet. It’s clearly a promotion, but it doesn’t feel like someone is trying to force you to buy something.

As we discussed earlier, Facebook marketing is all about relationships, so try to sound like a real human person instead of a broken record trying to trick the user into buying something.

Create Specific Landing Pages

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best not to send Facebook Ad traffic to your home page. A good Facebook ad will have a very specific message and that message needs to be closely reflected by the content of the landing page.

Unfortunately, as great as your homepage might be, it has to meet a lot of needs, which makes it hard to focus your business’s home page on delivering one specific message that happens to match the message of your ad.

Instead, it’s best to create a separate landing page for each new campaign. This will make your ads more effective and allow you to make the most out of those Facebook clicks.

As you create your landing pages, it’s a good idea to use what you know about your audience from your Facebook audience targeting. For example, if you’re mostly targeting 60+ year old women,?a picture of a mom with kids may not resonate well with your target audience. On the other hand, a picture of a 60+ client might work a good deal better.

To be honest, if you aren’t willing to go to the trouble of creating specific landing pages for your Facebook ads, running Facebook ads may not be for you. It might get you a lot of traffic, but paying to send a lot of traffic to the wrong page is a great way to waste a lot of money.

The quality of your ads can make or break your Facebook marketing. You can be targeting the right audience at the right times and have all the budget in the world, but if your ads don’t sell, it’s all a waste of money.

How Much Do You Need to Spend?

Speaking of wasting money, let’s circle back to your Facebook budget. When you get right down to it, your overall Facebook marketing strategy and your Facebook marketing budget go hand-in-hand.

If you approach it right, you can (and should) plan both at the same time. After all, if you know who you are marketing to and what they are worth, you can use that information to figure out how much you can afford to spend on marketing to bring in a new customer.

There are 4 basic steps to creating an effective Facebook marketing strategy and budget.

1. Define Your Goals

To figure out what you need to spend on Facebook, you first need to clarify what your goals are for Facebook advertising. These can vary quite a bit depending on whether your ultimate goal is to drive clicks, conversions or leads, sales, revenue or a certain return-on-investment (ROI).

When you get right down to it, the ultimate goal of Facebook marketing?should be ROI. After all, if your Facebook spend isn’t driving profitable revenue for your business, why are you advertising on Facebook?

Clicks and even conversions are great, but your?company doesn’t make money from clicks (in fact, you actually?spend?money on clicks) or conversions. It makes money from sales.

With that in mind, the first thing you need to determine before you decide what your Facebook marketing budget should be is to decide how much revenue you want to drive using Facebook. Once you know that, you can use that information to determine how much ad spend it will take to reach that revenue goal.

2. Create Your Buyer Personas

Once you know how much money you want to make from Facebook advertising, you need to identify?who you are marketing to.

Now, about?72% of marketers are familiar with buyer personas, but only 30% actually create effective buyer personas?that aid them in their marketing goals.

That’s a problem, because different buyer personas require different advertising.?On Facebook, that means different target audiences, different messaging and different landing pages. Even more importantly, different buyer personas turn into different types of buyers.

So guess what? If you don’t understand your buyer personas, you can’t create?an effective Facebook?budget!

If you’ve got a sales team, talking to sales?can be one of the fastest ways to get a decent buyer persona together. After all, they’re the ones who talk to your customers the most, right?

However, even talking to your sales team and doing a little research isn’t enough to really get at the level of detail you need to put together an effective Facebook budget. To do that, you need to get on the?phone and call?your actual customers.

Ask how they found you, why they converted and what convinced them to pay you. This information will give you a ton of insight into your marketing and sales funnels that you can use to both improve the performance of your paid search advertising and choose your Facebook marketing budget.

3. Figure Out What Your Buyer Personas are Worth

Typically, people look at buyer personas as a good way to craft an effective marketing strategy. Buyer personas are great for this, but they are also an important part of putting together an effective Facebook marketing budget.

For example, imagine you are advertising for a SaaS business called SaaS-A-Frass that has the following pricing structure:

In this situation, you’re probably targeting 3 different buyer personas:

Small business “Steve” Mid-market business “Mandy” Enterprise business “Edward”

Small business “Steve” has much smaller and simpler business needs than Edward or Mandy, so he’ll probably choose the Starter package. Mandy will probably want the Professional package and Edward will likely need the Enterprise package.

Assuming that Steve, Mandy and Edward stick around for an average of 14 months, 4 years and 9 years, respectively (average lifetimes for a SaaS client) and buy 5, 20 and 100 licenses (again, respectively), here’s the lifetime value for each of these personas ( [licenses/mo] x [# of licenses] x [typical customer lifespan in months] ):

Lifetime Value

Steve:?$1,750 Mandy:?$72,000 Edward:?$1,590,000

These numbers look really exciting, but not all of that money is profit.

A normal SaaS company pays about?22% for fulfillment, 9% to sales and has a?40% overhead, leaving them with about 29% of the lifetime value of each client to play around with. That means to simply break even, SaaS-A-Frass has to spend less than the following to acquire a customer from Facebook:

Maximum Acquisition Cost

Steve:?$507.50 Mandy: $20,880 Edward: $461,100

If SaaS-A-Frass can keep their acquisition cost below this threshold, they’ll make money. If it costs more than this to acquire each of these customers, they’ll lose money.

See why buyer personas are so important to budgeting?

Of course, it’s unlikely that the market is saturated with Edwards, so SaaS-A-Frass will need a mix of these deals to hit their revenue goals. That mix will dictate their Facebook budget.

So, if SaaS-A-Frass is willing to spend?$0.18 on marketing to produce?$1.00 in lifetime value (for a 11% total profit margin), SaaS-A-Frass’s can afford to pay the following for each buyer persona:

Customer Acquisition Cost

Steve:?$315 Mandy:?$3,750 Edward: $286,200

If SaaS-A-Frass can’t produce paying customers from a particular buyer persona at a price point below this threshold, they probably shouldn’t be marketing to that buyer persona.

However, if SaaS-A-Frass’s Facebook ads are currently producing buyers from each persona at these CAC (or even a CAC below these thresholds), SaaS-A-Frass can use that information to then calculate their Facebook marketing budget.

4. Set Your Budget

At this point, things are pretty simple.?Just take your CAC, average purchase order value and average number of purchase (if you have a subscription model, you can just use the average lifespan of each buyer persona here) and plug them into this calculator!

The default for this calculator shows the monthly budget and ROI for SaaS-A-Frass, assuming that SaaS-A-Frass wants to produce $2,425,500 in new revenue from Facebook advertising each month and they’ve determined that to do that, they need their Facebook marketing to produce 100 sales a month (90 Steves, 9 Mandys and 1 Edward).

Per our example, a?new Steve pays $125/mo for an average of 14 months, a new Mandy pays $1,500/mo for an average of 48 months and a new Edward pays $15,000/mo for 108 months.

Plugging all of that into the?calculator, SaaS-A-Frass will need to budget?$348,300/mo?for Facebook marketing to achieve their new lifetime revenue goals.

See? I told you this part is easy! Play around with the calculator and your different buyer persona numbers and see what sort of Facebook budget makes sense for your business. Or, if you’re dealing with a predetermined budget, use this calculator to look at your different buyer personas and see which target audiences you should be focused on.

Now, as you might imagine, this approach isn’t a perfect estimate of what it will take to hit your revenue goals. This calculator is only as accurate as the information you can give it. But, it’s a lot better than picking your monthly?at random and hoping that your Facebook budget will produce the results you need.

Conclusion

Although it’s hard to get great organic reach out of Facebook these days, Facebook marketing is still a great way to reach potential customers across the globe. Facebook has an enormous, highly active user base that you can easily market to using Facebook Ads.

In addition, creating a well-designed Facebook Page is a great way to build important trust and relationships with your target audience. The better they get to know you and your business, the more likely they are to respond well to your ads and become paying customers.
