But what are social ads?

Posting in the street via advertisements (4X3, bus shelters or posters) has been present in our lives for decades, but be aware that new advertising placement spaces have arrived, and they have had a huge performance since the appearance of social networks.

As social media has grown in terms of audience, it has sparked more and more interest in brands. These Social Ads on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest represent an alternative to the Google advertising agency’s advertisements with Adwords and Display YouTube. They allow you to reach an audience differently.

What can be achieved as objectives with the Social Ads lever?

Thinking of advertising on social media, but wondering if your campaign will be helpful and reach your target? Digital advertising campaigns are a real springboard for your sales because they generate traffic on your business site. You can achieve the following benefits using the various social ads levers:

  • Qualified targeting
  • Prospecting and acquiring new customers
  • A strong return on investment
  • Measurable performance indicators
  • Lower costs than other marketing levers
  • An increase in your community
  • Improved branding and notoriety

And if social ads do not yet seduce you, let’s evaluate some figures:

  • 46% of display advertising spending is made on social networks
  • Between 2016 and 2017, we noticed a 48% increase in advertising investments on social networks.
  • 100% of the world’s top brands have created campaigns on YouTube

On social networks, you reach your community through the organic posts that you publish regularly, but this is often not enough since you should know that, on average, only 6% of your subscribers are affected by an organic post. So, in parallel with that, you have to offer Paid actions to achieve your goals.

ADVERTISING TACTICS FOR VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

To advertise on LinkedIn, go to its LinkedIn Ads advertising network. This space will allow you to manage all your advertising campaigns. Creating an advertising campaign is relatively easy and quick to set up. You will need to create an advertising account for your company in the “Campaign Manager” and associate a company page with it.

Once all of this is in place, you can choose the ad format you want to set up from the catalogue offered:

Sponsored updates: to create an advertisement that appears in the news feed. It is the richest and most visible format, but it is also the most expensive format!
