How to use your Facebook Custom Audiences
Retargeting campaigns
Retargeting is a powerful tool for reminding old customers about the business.
This will bring back their interest and motivate them to take an action, like buying something.
Engage repeat customers
Marketing to current customers can result in significantly higher conversion rates. This is better than attempting to reach new customers since they already know and trust your brand.
An effective strategy to increase your sales is to convert one-time clients into loyal ones.
Increase app engagement
You may efficiently target your ads to users who have already downloaded your app by Custom Audience. This will help you achieve the most impact on your marketing spend.
Grow your Facebook following
Your marketing funnel’s base is built on brand awareness. Making people aware of and interested in your product or company requires creating targeted ads.
Use lookalike audiences
Theoretically, a lookalike audience is more likely to be interested in the goods and services you have to offer than a broad audience.
How to grow your Custom Audience
Effectively use Facebook Ad types
You need people to interact with your ads, profiles, or website in order to expand your custom audience.
You should make sure you have a Custom Audience ready to track the people who interact with your Facebook ads.
For best conversion, test and modify your advertising
To determine what appeals to consumers the most, you may need to test everything you can with your ads. Your Custom Audience will grow faster the more effective your ads is.
Here are some key elements to test:
- Image or video
- Link preview text
- Headline
- Call to action
Use Facebook Audience Insights
Analytics are wonderful, but you also need to know your audience in order to take appropriate action. You may learn a lot about your Custom Audiences via Facebook Audience Insights. You can utilize such insights to find new target markets.
