You did it! Your pixel is correctly installed. You’ve collected emails from your best customers and your lead magnet and used those emails to create new audiences and lookalike audiences. You created dynamic ads with strong calls to action, and you became your own customer to ensure their experience is nothing short of excellence.

Now what?

Now you get to let your ads run (while you keep an eye on those analytics and engagement!) and enjoy serving your customers, old and new, through the holidays. Congratulations!

We loved sharing these tips with you.

Become your own customer, and click through your purchasing process to make sure it runs smoothly. Start from your own ad -- make sure you are in an incognito (private) window -- and click through your entire process. Was it easy? Did the process flow and make sense from a customer’s perspective? Identify any roadblocks in your process and remove them ASAP.

For example, does your ad call out a specific product or service, but go to a generic services page? This is a roadblock to your potential customers. Many times, people will not take the time to find the product or service that was being advertised if they are directed to a generic page.

Or, does your ad entice potential customers with a coupon code or discount, but then the coupon code isn’t easily identifiable? Roadblock! Your offering should be front and center, and easily accessible.

The easier your purchasing process, the more likely new customers are to follow through.

Pro Tip: Your process doesn’t end with a purchase! It ends with your customer receiving their product and follow up emails asking for feedback on their experience or new products they might be interested in. As we discussed in Day 16, you want to build relationships with everyone in your email list (as long as they have opted-in to your marketing emails) and turn those one-time buyers into loyal customers.

Your ads are finally running! Now it’s time to watch how well they perform.

Facebook Business Manager has a wonderful analytics tool where you can see everything from the scope or your ads’ reach and who (gender, age, etc.) is seeing your ads, to how many people have clicked through the link or clicked all the way through to purchase. Monitoring your ads is directly related to how your Facebook Pixel has been set up on your website (which is why our Day 1 and Day 2 Tips focused on your Pixel and website).

Even if you are not seeing results right away, give your ads time! Especially if this is your very first Facebook ad campaign. Audiences can take time to perfect, but the more information you have, the better you can adjust if need be. Our current rule of thumb is to let your ad run for at least 7 to 10 days before making any drastic changes. This will give you enough data to make smart adjustments rather than guessing and hoping for the best.

On top of monitoring your ads through Facebook Business Manager, watch for engagement on your ads themselves (as well as on all of your organic content). Respond to any comments and invite new customers to like your page. Engagement is always a wonderful tool, not just so your potential customers can see that you care about them and will take time to respond, but also because Facebook and Instagram both incentivize engagement in their algorithms.

You now have all the elements of your ad campaign in place, and it’s time to set up your campaigns! We walked you through this process briefly on Day 12, so refer back to that day if you need a refresher. For today, here are a couple of tips for things to look for in your ads:

Daily vs Lifetime Budget: You only make the mistake of setting your lifetime ad budget as a daily spend once. (It’s not a fun mistake to make!) Since you know when your sales will start and stop, keep this metric in mind and set up your ad accordingly!
Type of Campaign: What type of ad campaign do you want to run? A Dynamic Creative ad might give you more flexibility, but an A/B test ad will give you more insights into the difference between campaigns. A click-through ad will send people to your website, but an ad that asks people to send you a message on Messenger will not. Know what your goals are, and choose the options that get you to that goal.
Placement: Your ad won’t show up the same on all of the platforms that Facebook sends ads to. And your audience won’t respond the same to ads that appear in their Facebook feed vs ads that appear in their Instagram Stories! Experiment with this, and don’t assume you know exactly where your audience is going to respond.

Once your ad is all set up, hit publish! Keep an eye out for a notification that your ad has been approved; Facebook’s algorithms are very sensitive this year and we’ve seen innocuous ads get denied. If this happens to you, either fix the problem or request a review within your ad campaign.

Once you have created your ads, do not skip the Edit and Review process!

We have all seen -- or made 🙋‍♀️ -- the dreaded spelling or grammatical error, and we don’t want your ad to go viral for the wrong reasons. Make sure you check the spelling and grammar on all of your ad text, headlines, and copy. If you have written the text yourself or don’t have anyone else who can help you proofread, try starting at the bottom of the ad copy and reading each sentence backwards, or try reading the text out loud. This will help you catch minor errors that you might have missed since your brain already knows what the ad is supposed to say and look like.

Are you using inclusive language? Your potential customers are everywhere and could be anyone. Use language that is representative of this fact. Customers who feel like a brand is speaking to them are more likely to follow through with a purchase.

And last, but maybe most important, do your ads align with your brand? Every ad is an opportunity to get your brand and branding message out to potential customers. Your brand personality should be front and center in every interaction with your customers. This includes everything from your images to your calls to action. Review all your holiday ads to make sure they fully embody your brand.

Last but not least, include a strong Call to Action on your ads! Facebook allows you to include a button that reads “Learn More”, as well as a list of variations on that. But you shouldn’t forget to include a Call to Action in your ad copy!

One of the biggest mistakes we see people making is that they don’t tell people what action to take from their ads. If you want people to schedule a call, tell them do so in your ad copy! If you want them to make a purchase or buy a gift card, say so!

People are inundated with marketing messages this time of year. Make sure that your messaging is crystal clear.

When you scroll through your feed and see ads in your timeline, you might notice something about how you read the ads. The first thing you see is the photo, the next thing you look at is the headline, because your eyes are still traveling down before they consciously absorb the ad image. One of the last things you look at is the ad copy section above the ad image (which I’m of the opinion is why Instagram ads are structured the way they are).

So your headline should be strong! We’ll talk tomorrow about Calls to Action, but this is a great place to inspire your audience to take action, and to be very clear about what next step you want your customers to take after looking at this ad.

Don’t be afraid to be creative! Remember, this is the second thing people see, so something that hooks your audience and brings in their attention can be really key to moving potential customers to becoming actual customers.

This is the part where you get to describe your products and services! The primary ad text is the big block of text that goes along with your ad. Make sure your ad copy is consistent with the voice of your copy on your website, so your customers don’t find any difference between your ad and your website.

The length of your ad copy can make a difference as well! Short ads and longer ads both resonate with different audiences, but if you aren’t sure which is going to work with your audience right now, try a test where you vary the length of your ad.

What about emojis? Emojis can be fun and can break up the ad copy, but just be careful not to use too many. (Unless you already do so in your brand voice, or unless it really resonates with your audience.) One easy way to include emojis can be to use a checkmark on a bullet point list of items in your ad.

You’ve planned out your campaigns, now let’s start building your ads! First, let’s talk about your images.

We’re starting with the images because often, people stop to look at your ad initially because of the image first. Before they read ANYTHING, they have subconsciously absorbed the image attached to your ad. So make sure that it’s eye-catching, as well as relevant to your ad copy. Yes, images of cute animals will get people to stop and look, but if it doesn’t have anything to do with your product or services, then you’ll lose people.

We’re talking about images here, but don’t forget about videos! Try a combination of videos and static images to see which your audience responds to more. You might be surprised!

Videos don’t have to be very complicated. You can just record a short video talking into the camera on your phone. Keep the video short -- under 2 minutes, if you can -- and you should try to hook the audience in the first 5 to 10 seconds of the video.

Yesterday, we talked about the different Facebook Campaign Objectives. Today, we’re going to talk about two different ways in Facebook’s system to test which ad image or copy your audience responds to best.

A/B Ads: You probably already know what an A/B test is! You can run two to four ads alongside each other, and see which performs best. In each campaign, you can vary the audience targeting, the ad creative, and the locations where the ads appear. This is great if you don’t have a lot of good data on which audience will respond best to your ads, or if you have a couple different versions of ads and you aren’t sure which will resonate with your customers better.

Dynamic Creative Ads: These are a personal favorite of the Humble & Hustle Studios team, because unlike A/B ads, these ads let Facebook’s algorithm mix and match your ad creative in the best combination! Just make sure you toggle the button that sits right above your audience building before continuing into adding your ad creative.
