It’s time to dig deep ⤵️
It should go without saying that audience targeting is one of the most important aspects of an ad strategy ⭐️
You can have…
💥 great creatives
✍️ stellar messaging
🆎 thorough split testing strategies
BUT if your audience targeting strategy is just “spray and pray” 🙏🏻
It literally ALL goes to waste 🚮
Luckily, curating your audience targeting strategy is really not all that difficult 💁🏻♀️
It just takes some preparation 🌿
1️⃣ Define your audience avatar(s):
This needs to go way way beyond Age, Gender, and Location of your target audience. You need to take it a step further: Explore their Interests, Behaviors, Beliefs, and Values, too!
This last one is uber-essential for purpose-driven businesses. You want to know what they believe in, what they dream of, what their fears are, and what motivates them to make decisions. This all plays a part in how you sell your product or service.
2️⃣ Leverage Meta’s detailed demographics:
In recent years, Meta has reduced its number of categories and interests available for audience targeting, but it’s still the most robust of any ad platform! So use it!!
You might be surprised at how specific you can get, what categories are available to reflect this persona you’ve created, and what kinds of leads this pulls into your funnel!
3️⃣ Use First-Party Data:
Last but certainly not least, first-party data, the most powerful tool in your arsenal.
Creating custom audiences and lookalike audiences of your current followers, website traffic, email subscribers, and users who’ve engaged with your content will be so essential for pulling in warm leads to retarget them and new leads that look like them.
I know this is a TON of info I’m throwing at you, but I think you’ll find it useful for when you’re getting started with your ads. 😊
