If up until a couple of years ago there could still be some doubts, today it appears clear and definitive: advertising on social media, especially on Facebook and Instagram, is simply essential for all companies that choose to sell products and\/or services online<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Specifically, Instagram has reached over 700 million active users worldwide<\/strong>; although the number is already interesting in itself, the number of interactions is even more so, the rate of which turns out to be 70% higher than for Facebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Considering that interactions include any action performed by the user (likes, comments, purchases, site visits), it is absolutely worth taking advantage of Instagram’s features to promote products and\/or services<\/strong>, with the only condition that the advertising campaigns are obviously in line with your target users. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Before carrying out any campaign, it is necessary to carry out analyzes and a whole series of other steps<\/strong> in order to get straight to the point and avoid wasting time and money. Let’s go in order and let’s see them in detail:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
The first step to take is to research your competitors<\/strong>, especially the leaders in the reference sector, in order to analyze their behavior and observe what actions they are capable of producing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Doing so is quite simple: most use Facebook Pixel for remarketing<\/strong>, a system that allows you to track users who have visited a particular site and re-propose sponsored posts to them. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Like all marketing activities, advertising on Instagram also needs to establish the ultimate goal: what should users who view the sponsored post do<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Instagram uses the same platform as Facebook, proposing different goals<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
Also in this case, Facebook Pixel proves to be very useful<\/strong>, as it allows you to carry out detailed monitoring of all the movements made by the public of users. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Thus we arrive at the most important moment of the whole campaign: the selection of the reference target<\/strong> which, in order to bring results, must be chosen carefully.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
In this case, Instagram Ads offers a wide choice of options to target your audience<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n
The closer you get to the real target audience, the more likely it is that the campaign goal will be achieved<\/strong>. Furthermore, you can save the settings to be able to reuse them in the next campaign. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Remaining on the public theme, there is a further tool made available by Instagram and Facebook called Lookalike Audience, i.e. “similar audience”<\/strong>, capable of creating a very specific audience for the post to be sponsored.<\/p>\n
Similar audiences tend to convert more as the people intercepted are really interested in a specific product\/service<\/strong>. Instagram does nothing but analyze the characteristics of the audience already followers in order to then reach other people with the same interests and characteristics.<\/p>\n
To keep in mind and definitely to try!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Creating a sponsored post on Instagram requires good creativity<\/strong> which, in line with the goal you want to achieve, helps to achieve excellent results. In a nutshell, you have to think about what you want to achieve and, consequently, create graphics that are able to correctly send the message.<\/p>\n
Different types of creativity<\/strong> can be created:<\/p>\n
The choice derives from the type of message you want to send to your audience and, obviously, from the goal you intend to achieve.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
Once you have acquired the “theoretical” part of advertising on Instagram, you can move on to practice by performing a whole series of steps<\/strong> that allow you to achieve the set objectives:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
The main step to take involves connecting the Instagram account to the Facebook page dedicated to the activity<\/strong>. Doing so is simple, you need to go to Settings > Instagram Ads > Add an account<\/strong> and proceed with entering your login credentials.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
The next step is the salient one, because it involves selecting all the parameters that the campaign will have to respect in order to be successful<\/strong>. You must first go to the Advertisement Management > Create Campaign and establish<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
Once this is done, you can proceed to the next step. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
This step is all about creativity<\/strong>, so it’s very important. One or more images are inserted depending on the format, or a video, all complete with effective copy aimed at achieving the final goal.<\/p>\n
Once this is done, it is always advisable to check the preview and, if everything is ok, click on the green Order button<\/strong>. At this point, all that remains is to wait for Facebook to approve the sponsored post. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
But that’s not all: after having published an advertisement, in fact, it is essential to analyze and monitor its progress<\/strong>, in order to understand if it is proceeding in the right direction and, if not, to make the necessary corrections.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Just go back to the Facebook Ads Manager page, click on the current campaign and view the graph showing the performance of the sponsored post<\/strong>. If your campaign is doing well, you can increase your daily budget.<\/p>\n
The more campaigns you carry out, the better you become and the closer you get to the desired result<\/strong>. You simply have to try and try again, never lose heart and keep yourself constantly updated so as never to be caught unprepared!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
