It’s difficult for advertisers to stand out amongst the newsfeed holiday snaps, engagement announcements and mass of friends tagging each other in memes. Luckily, this blog post will give you all the info you need to set up your first campaigns in Ads Manager, and you’ll be reaping the rewards of Facebook advertising faster than you can say Atticus Finch. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F05\u002F50455495_2188275804565030_5801268238591459328_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13337\" width=\"300\" height=\"337\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"campaign-objective\">\u003Cb>Campaign Objective \u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First up, you have to decide what the overall goal of your campaign is.

You can allocate a daily budget per ad set, or you can allocate a ‘lifetime’ budget at campaign level and allow Facebook to optimise it across the different ad sets. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The daily budget option means that Facebook will aim to spend the entirety of each ad set’s budget every day, whether spending this money is likely to result in your desired goal or not. On the other hand, Facebook’s campaign budget optimisation will shift the budget (often unequally) across all ad sets, and allocate it to the ad sets where a conversion is most likely. It will additionally aim to ensure that the lifetime budget allocated to the campaign lasts until the campaign end date. But, it’s a good idea to check in on your campaigns from time to time and see whether the budget is being spent too quickly\u002Fslowly. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With regards to how much budget you should allocate to your campaigns, it’s advisable to start small and then gradually increase your budget once you find out which settings are most effective.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as this, it’s not a great idea to give your campaigns a huge budget if you have a finite audience. For example, if you’re a ladies hair salon, wanting to target women within 5 miles of your shop, the number of people in your target audience is limited. If your campaign budgets are too large, your budget will be spent on showing ads to the same people multiple times when there are no longer any new users who match your targeting criteria.  \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key metric to keep an eye on is frequency, which indicates the average number of times a single user sees your ad per day. Advice differs on how many ad views per day is too many, but I personally don’t like to see any of my ad frequencies rise above 4. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.impression.co.uk\u002F2021\u002F05\u002Fcant-go-over-budget-if-you-never-make-a-budget.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13338\" width=\"352\" height=\"290\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule\">\u003Cb>Schedule \u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you’re a regular Google Ads user, you’ll be familiar with the concept of an ad schedule. It simply means that you can decide the days of the week, and the times of day that you want your ads to show. For example, if you’re selling a business service, like training courses, you may only want to show your ads during 9 – 5 working hours on weekdays. This can enable you to spend your budget more effectively, by only spending it when your ads are most likely to be clicked on. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"audience-targeting\">\u003Cb>Audience targeting \u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook has a wealth of – sometimes unnervingly precise – targeting options. The people you want to target will differ depending on your business, but the ways in which you can refine your audience include: \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Location \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gender \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Languages\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s also a ‘Detailed targeting’ option, which allows you to target people based on further demographics, life events and interests. You can target the newly engaged with your custom wedding invitation service, or promote the opening of your new cocktail bar in Nottingham to young adults with an interest in nightlife in the city. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It’s important not to make your targeting too specific, or you’ll risk not reaching enough users. Going back to our new cocktail bar opening, if you attempted to target all the people in Nottingham who like Rock City, are aged 22 – 32 and additionally work in digital marketing, you’ve probably narrowed things down too much. Equally, you can be too broad with your targeting. Targeting everyone in the UK aged 22 – 32 and hoping they’ll turn up on opening night is probably over ambitious. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"placements\">\u003Cb>Placements \u003C\u002Fb>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There’s an ever-expanding list of where you can place your ads on Facebook. These include the news feed, instant articles, stories and most recently, Facebook marketplace. You can also elect to advertise on Instagram directly from Ads Manager – it’s as simple as checking a box. Instagram ad placements are currently limited to the feed and stories, although we predict that they’ll be sliding into our dms very soon. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, the ‘Automatic Placements’ feature allows Facebook to optimise your placements across Facebook, Instagram and the Audience Network for you.

You could talk about your motivation behind starting your brand, or the journey your brand has taken to become what it is today. \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of creative, images of people\u002Ffaces tend to be the most effective.

In fact, the less text the better. In my experience, clean images with minimal text overlay perform the best. If you’re promoting an offer, mention it in your ad copy rather than including it in the visual creative.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if you’ve got the resource to do so, creating some video content is well worth the investment.
