How We Price Our Social Media Advertising Services

As we mentioned at the beginning of this article, some campaigns are more complex. This is because the objectives and features of a more complex campaign are different, and therefore require more skills and time to setup.

Here are a few reasons why some campaigns may be more time-consuming and skill-intensive:

Advanced Targeting and Customisation

Some campaigns require advanced targeting options to reach a specific audience or achieve specific goals. This may involve creating custom audience segments, using advanced targeting options like Lookalike Audiences, or setting up complex audience exclusions. The process of defining and refining the target audience requires a deeper understanding of Facebook's targeting capabilities and audience insights.

Ad Creative Requirements

Different campaign objectives may require specific types of ad creatives. For example, video view campaigns may require the creation of engaging video content, while conversion campaigns may need persuasive ad copy and compelling visuals. Creating high-quality ad creatives that align with campaign objectives and resonate with the target audience can be time-consuming and may require specialized skills like graphic design, video editing and photography.

Conversion Tracking and Measurement

Some campaign objectives, such as conversions or catalogue sales, involve tracking and measuring specific actions taken by users on your website or app. Setting up conversion tracking and ensuring accurate measurement may require implementing Facebook Pixel, configuring event tracking, and integrating with other analytics tools. This requires technical expertise and an understanding of tracking mechanisms and attribution models.

Optimization and Experimentation

Achieving optimal campaign performance often involves continuous optimization and experimentation. This includes monitoring key performance metrics, adjusting targeting parameters, refining ad creatives, and conducting A/B testing. Skilful analysis of campaign data and the ability to make data-driven decisions are crucial for maximizing campaign effectiveness.

Integration with External Tools

Some campaigns may require integration with external tools or platforms. For instance, e-commerce businesses may need to integrate their product catalogue or set up dynamic ads using the Facebook Business Manager. This integration process may involve technical configurations and troubleshooting.

Types of Facebook Campaigns

It's worth noting that the complexity and skill requirements can vary based on individual campaign goals, business objectives, and the level of expertise of the advertiser. Facebook provides a range of campaign options to cater to different skill levels and objectives, allowing advertisers to choose campaigns that align with their resources and capabilities.

Here are the key differences between each of these options:

Awareness Campaigns

These campaigns are designed to increase brand awareness and reach a wider audience. The primary objective is to generate attention and exposure for your brand or product.

Consideration Campaigns

Consideration campaigns aim to engage potential customers who have shown interest in your business or product. They focus on driving traffic to your website, increasing app downloads, and encouraging people to engage with your content.

Traffic

As the name suggests - this campaign option is focused on driving traffic to your website or landing page. It works for businesses wanting to increase website visits, generate leads, or promote specific offers.

Engagement

Engagement means visibility these days. Engagement campaigns are used to increase interactions with your Facebook Page or posts. They encourage people to like, comment, share, or react to your content – and as a result they help to improve the visibility of your page and the posts you create.

App Installs

An App install campaign is designed to promote the installation of your mobile app. It does this by targeting users who are more likely to download and use your app.

Video Views

It’s in the name, but video view campaigns aim to increase the number of views on your videos. They’re perfect for businesses who want to showcase their products or services through video content.

Lead Generation

Lead generation campaigns collect user information (such as email addresses) by offering something valuable in return, such as a newsletter subscription or a free download.

Conversion Campaigns

Conversion campaigns are focused on driving specific actions on your website or app, such as purchases, sign-ups, or form submissions. They’re niftily designed to target users who are more likely to convert into customers. This campaign option is ideal for businesses aiming to increase sales or conversions on their website or app.

Catalogue Sales

Catalogue sales campaigns promote products from your catalogue to generate online sales. They are suitable for businesses with an e-commerce focus.

Store Traffic

Store traffic campaigns aim to increase foot traffic to your physical store by targeting users in the vicinity. They work well for businesses with brick-and-mortar locations.
