Client Background
For this business, being profitable with Facebook ads was becoming more and more difficult.
Despite an employee’s marketing background, IOS14 changes affected the business results tremendously and they were at halt with Facebook marketing.
As time went on, the situation did not improve but they knew that Facebook ads were an important source of traffic and a significant sales channel.
First Step: Account Audit
Here are some honest mistakes we noticed in their ads manager in August of 2021:
– Running outdated creatives expecting the same results
– Running ads that didn’t fit the campaign objective (ex.: re-targeting ads for a cold audience)
– Combining cold audiences with past purchases in the same ad set
– Optimizing for the wrong events for their goals (add to carts and awareness rather than conversions)
– Boosting posts instead of using ads manager
– Combining warm and cold audiences in the same ad set
– Combining multiple interest-based audiences in the same ad set
How we Increased Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) by 119%
After the account audit, we knew what we had to do:
-
- Ad Creation. We made some changes in style, message and language.
-
- Ad account structure. We simplified and organized adsets and audiences.
-
- Funnel Optimization. We created a seamless funnel and designed a complimentary strategy.
Step 1
Ad creation
1. A change in style
First, we adjusted their creatives for some new ones that were on trend but also on brand.
2. We Sold the Vision, Not the Product
The message changed when we focused on selling the vision, instead of the product. We worked with the client to determine how a customer’s life might have benefited from the product.
3. Speak their language
We provided more information about the product within the ads.
When business owners know their product well, it can sometimes be hard to put themselves in the shoes of someone who’s never heard of it before.
We included things like:
-
- Deal-maker features that make the product shine and give them a reason to buy
- Spoke their language with everyday words and real-life scenarios
- Benefit-based call-outs that every person understands and resonates with
Step 2
Account Structure
1 . Simplified Ad Account Structure
We simplified the entire ad account structure into prospecting and retargeting campaigns.
2. Audience Organization
Audiences were organized and divided by interest, stage in the funnel, and cold/warm. We also excluded necessary audiences.
This allows for better tracking, attribution, and organization.
Step 3
Funnel Renovation
1. They wanted conversions, and they got’em!
Instead of optimizing add to carts and awareness, we invested ad spend in campaigns with conversion objectives.
2. Ads instead of Boosted posts
Instead of boosting posts, we invested in ads. This gave us more control over measurements, ad creatives and budget.
3. Creating a funnel
We geared the ads towards conversions by running the right ones in the right stages of the funnel. By using the right ads, we attracted prospects in one campaign, gained trust in another, re-targeted and upped purchases in the final ones.
