Facebook’s targeting capabilities are more robust than any other platform. So you can narrow in on demographics, interests,
location and even behaviors. You get to choose your age group and gender. Really know your targeted audience for the ad and
get your ad shown to only the folks that your product or service is 100% right for.
– Make it visual appealing to your audience.
Be certain to use the best image(s) or video you can for the ad. And make sure it’s sized correctly for the placement
of where the ad will show. Sizes vary depending on where you want the ad to be placed.
– Be sure to have a great value proposition.
The ad must tell the reader whey they should click on your ad to learn more, buy now, message you, sign up, watch video etc.
Use stats of previous customers to ad social proof that will help your credibility.
–You always want to have the visual and copy closely aligned.
If your ad is more general then maybe use a carousel (several images in one ad) explaining the benefits, one on each image.
If your ad is for a specific item, then pair the copy and image accordingly and target specific people who will be interested.
Example: All Virgos out there will love this, if your ad is for an astrology bracelet for the women with an upcoming birthday in Sept.
– Don’t forget the clear Call-to-Action.
Many ads I see don’t have this set up correctly. Example: Buy now and save X%, but for a limited time. or This great offer will be ending soon. Sign up now!

What to Know About Running Your First Facebook Ad Campaign to get the very bestReturn On Your Ad Spend
The #1 most important thing you can do to ensure your campaign success is to target your warm audiences. These are known as Custom Audiences. These are people who have already expressed an interest in your offerings. Like you Facebook Followers, Your Instagram Followers, and your website visitors. This requires you to build up your pages with followers and guide prospects to click on your website link to be retargeted with your paid ads.
The #2nd most important thing is to know what your goal/objective of the ad you want to run will be. Ask yourself “What do you want the viewer to do next when they see your ad?” That becomes your objective or goal. i.e. Watch a video, click on a link, go to my website…etc. There are many goals to choose from when you begin running ads.
The #3rd most important thing is to understand how the algorithm works. Run your ads for longer than 7 days, it usually takes 7 days to get through the learning phase. Test running your ads for 14, 21, even 28 days or longer to bring your costs per action down, your results up and the algorithm to know exactly who to show your ad to.
The #4th most important thing you can do is to be certain you have targeted your ideal audience by location and a few special interests. You can list cities you service and up to 50 miles from each of them. You will have the ability to select certain interests and include them, as well as exclude certain topics, such as competitors.
The #5th most important thing is your creative. So…. Test your Images vs Video and see which performs best for your audience. Home tour videos vs carousel image ads may do better than one single image for future ads. You need to test and know for sure. And then use more of these for your future campaigns.
The #6th most important thing is to keep your copy short and have compelling landing pages with great design and copy, and converting capabilities if you send viewers to your website. Once they leave your ad, then the destination you take them to must do the work for you.
The #7th most important thing is to be personable. As a realtor you know that Real Estate is very personal and emotional. It’s also very local as well as data-driven. Create and use tools that help you get your new clients wants, needs, desires down so that you understand exactly what they are looking for in a new home. Then be sure you speak to that in your Facebook & Instagram advertising.

Therefore, it’s pretty clear that you should be utilizing these 2 Gigantic Social Media Channels to promote and advertise your business.
I especially like the results my clients are seeing from Carousel Ads and Posts. They are Cost Effective, usually get better conversion rates, more engaging, and keep the viewer on your ad or post for a longer period of time. This also translates to the algorithm noticing this and putting more value on the ad or post.
What is a carousel ad or post? They are a slide show of images that allows the viewer to slide through multiple images or videos in one single post or ad. You can have a separate URL destination (web page) for each image, as well as a unique description for each image or video.
Best Practices to create Carousel Ads: – Make your images 1080 x 1080pixels (square) and they will work on both FB and IG – Use a maximum of 7-8 photos or short videos – The image file format can be .jpg or .png – The maximum video size/length is 4GB for up to 60 seconds – Give your viewer a taste of what you have to offer, but always leave them wondering what is on the landing page, so they’ll click on it. – Use each image/video to tell a story, explain a process, show the benefit, promote an event etc. – The ads objectives can be: Reach, Conversions, Traffic, Lead Generation, Brand Awareness, Catalog Sales, Store Traffic, App Installs and Messages. – The CTA (Call to Action) buttons can be: Shop Now, Book Now, Learn More, Sign Up, Contact Us, Apply Now, Get Quote, See Menu, Send Message, Get offer, Subscribe, Listen Now and Check Availability.
