Paid Media Campaigns That Work
Did you know that businesses waste up to 25% of their digital ad spend on poorly optimised campaigns? Once you get the clicks, the most vital part is turning them into loyal clients. In this blog post, we will show how to create paid media campaigns that not only convert but also build lasting brand trust.
The Challenges
We all know there are many challenges to face when it comes to paid media campaigns. From oversaturation in crowded markets and user fatigue, it can be hard to stand out and convert. The rising costs such as cost per lead, and cost per click can also make it tricky to navigate paid media campaigns, especially for small, start-up businesses. This is why, at AIWIZ, we understand that performance and perception go hand in hand. Think, would this make me want to take action? What sets us apart from the rest?
The Foundations
Before starting any campaign, it is so important to establish your foundations. What are your business goals? Is it traffic, conversions, loyalty? Having clear goals set is essential to a good campaign foundation to guide your strategy and ensure your success. The next step is identifying your target audience; are you targeting other businesses, specific countries, people with specific interests? And what is your intent- how do you want them to take action? The next part of your foundation is establishing a consistent brand voice across all platforms, whether you’re creating a Meta or LinkedIn campaign. A consistent tone and style helps potential clients to trust you and builds their loyalty. Trust building always starts before the click!
Creating Click-Worthy and Trust-Worthy Ads
Put yourself in their shoes and create an ad that is appealing and convincing. Your ad copy needs to be persuasive, but still authentic and honest. What do you want people to know, what is exciting about your products and services? Maintaining honesty whilst still keeping the ad copy intriguing is the key to a successful paid media campaign that converts. The next step is your visual. The visual is the first thing your potential clients see and it can be the one thing that stops them from scrolling past. Your visual should reinforce your brand values, clearly showcase your products and services and leave your viewers wanting more.
Our Top Tips for Ad Visuals:
- Start with your hook to grab their attention, in both video and images.
- Keep videos around 30 seconds in length. Meta allows for videos to have up to 60 second duration, but we recommend around 30 seconds for maximum engagement.
- Use text overlays in videos, as most people view ads with no sound.
- Keep your branding consistent throughout, but don’t be too overpowering!
- Always use the correct sizing as incorrect sizing can appear cropped, blurry, or be disqualified from key placements.
Optimisation is Key
Optimisation is an absolute must for paid media campaigns. Have you gone live and not got the results you expected? Don’t worry, this is where optimisation comes in! Optimisation involves refining your targeting, A/B testing, adjusting budget allocation between ad sets, and reviewing the performance regularly. By doing these steps, it will help improve performance, reduce wasted spend, increase return on investment and ultimately turn clicks into clients.
Turning Clicks Into Clients Starts With Strategy
Getting clicks is easy but turning those clicks into real clients takes strategy, creativity, and continuous optimisation. From setting clear goals to crafting scroll-stopping visuals and building trust after the click, every part of your paid media campaign plays a role in driving return on investment.
