The digital world is continuously evolving, and so are the opportunities for businesses to connect with their customers. Online advertising has become an essential part of any marketing strategy. But with the vast amount of advertising strategies out there, how can businesses ensure their ads are making an impact?

Our team have run endless amounts of adverts for ourselves and our clients all looking for the same end goal - ‘to be put in front of someone who is likely to want to talk to us’. We have spent thousands of pounds+ over the years and thankfully got it right very quickly, I can’t imagine where we would be today if we hadn’t. Here are the techniques that we have used for our success.

The Magic of Targeting

Not such a secret but certainly one of the most important areas is targeting the right target audience! Many click the generics offered by the platform but few go deeper into the setup. For example you choose a location but do you choose the likely place the person lives or the location of their work? it can make a huge difference, just looking at a map shows that that location could be a mass of fields and forests, what use is that in your location settings. To make sure your budget isn’t wasted work the setup in your Ad Campaigns.

Personalisation Packs a Punch

Did you know that personalised ads often out performs non personalised ads? With so much content out there that people consume every day, personalising your ads can help you stand out from the crowd. Make sure your ads appeal to your target audience's needs and preferences. Use eye-catching visuals and language that resonates with them to create a more engaging experience. What seems an odd decision to market to less people is vindicated in that it might be less but its more relevant to them and so has a better chance of stopping them in their tracks to read.

The Analytics Advantage

Use analytics to optimise your ads! Regularly monitor your ad performance data to identify what's working and what's not. Adjust your campaigns based on the insights you gather. It's all about testing, tweaking, and repeating the process until you find the sweet spot. STOP sending the same things out over and over to tick a box, use the analytics to help tweak your plan until you have a great return from your efforts.

Bid Smart, Not Hard

Bidding plays a crucial role in optimising your ad campaigns. For instance, ad platforms like Google Ads use an auction system to determine the ad placements. This means bidding too low can limit your ad's reach, while bidding too high can lead to an overspend. Research your competition, define your goals, and choose a bidding strategy that suits your campaign objectives and budget.
