Understating of the funnel

As a business owner or advertisement expert, you must understand that Facebook is a social platform. Here, people come to communicate with friends and to look for fun stuff.

So, keep in mind that you never try to maximize your conversion with the help of a direct pitch. On Facebook, you have to work on a funnel that starts from awareness and ends at the shop.

Don’t be too much salesy money-mouth .

Use four-step Funnel (AIDA) to get conversions.

4-step funnel (AIDA)

AIDA stands for Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Action. Let’s understand each one in detail.

  • First, give awareness to your target audience and make them realize they have a problem.
  • In the second step, nurture them by giving them more knowledge with the help of solutions. In this phase, you must build interest in your audience’s mind about your product or service.
  • In the fourth step, work to build desire in your audience’s mind. They should think they need your product and service.
  • The last step is the action level, where you must create urgency to buy your product or service now. It is the right time to grab an opportunity, and here, you can give offers like 20% off, etc.

3-step funnel how I use it

It is my practice when I run any campaign, so I follow this funnel, which is based on three steps:

Cold Audience

 It starts from brand awareness, where I aim to attract my target audience with the help of images, videos, infographics, and funny or inspiring content.

Warm Audience

The second step of my funnel focuses on the Traffic and conversion part, which aims to increase interest or capture leads.

In this step, I make offers, guides, and vouchers to appeal to my visitors. I use retargeting here for those audiences who interact with my first Brand awareness ads (Cold Audience Stage).

Retarget New Customers

Then, I use the retargeting method again in this step. I retarget my new customers with the help of retargeting ads, where I give them offers to attract them to buy from my store again.

Understand Your (Very Segmented) Audience

You need to structure your audience for the funnel because if you don’t, you can not write perfect Facebook ad copy that will maximize your conversion.

There are three audience types that can help you to structure your funnel:

TOFU top of the funnel (Cold audience)

For this audience, create a campaign such as (Brand awareness or Engagement) to identify those interested in your offering.

Use this campaign to make your custom audience consist of people who have interacted with your ad, such as those who clicked, engaged, or watched.

This campaign will help you create a warm audience list for future retargeting.

MOFU middle of the funnel (Warm audience)

For the middle-of-the-funnel audience, your campaign’s primary Goal is to retarget a warm audience.

Use a custom audience list you made in the TOFU (Top of the funnel) campaign. In this campaign, your Goal should be to sell our product or service.

BOFU Bottom of the funnel audience (Customers)

For the bottom-the-funnel audience, make the campaign for those who have clicked on your ad but could not buy for any reason, and for those who are your new customers, target them for upselling purposes.

It is essential for you that your Facebook ad copy is engaging and problem-solving. Many ads do not grab the audience’s attention because of weak ad copy.

To create a copy that resonates with your audience, consider four factors while crafting an ad copy for Facebook such as:

  1. Relevance: Your ad copy must be relevant and to the point. Do not try to be smart. Use simple words, including benefits. If you target students, your copy must be for students.
  2. Outcome: Try to play with the emotions of your target audience because it’s a killer combination to pair emotions with outcomes. Remember it: People love to buy the solution to their problems.
  3. Features: In your ad copy, the feature defines how you are different from others. Mention sales price benefits and facts. In short, incorporate factors that make your copy unique.
  4. Credibility: Add credibility factor in your ad copy, for example, testimonials, celebrity endorsement, total sales or customers, etc.

AD copy Best Practices

In Facebook ads, your ad copy must be well structured, which means your ad’s AD text, Headline, and call to action must be concise but attention-grabbing.

Let’s discuss how to make them perfect:

  • Ad Text: Ad text’s best practice is that it should contain no more than 20 words. Include at least one emoji, use words that pique curiosity, and sell the outcomes, which means mention the benefit that grabs attention.
  • AD headline:  Use less than 6 words in your Headline. , hook the user, and MAKE them want to click!
  • Call to Action: A call to action (CTA) is the final thing. In your CTA, incorporate an urgency factor that emphasizes this is the right time to grab an offer.
  •  Pro tip: Be simple and straightforward is best. Always remember your audiance in your mind. Never bother your target audience with multiple CTAs and use only one CTA per ad.
