Paid Social Media Ads Management

Globally, over 3.6 billion people use social media, projected to increase to 4.41 billion in 2025. Businesses failing to capitalise on paid social media ads are missing a significant opportunity. Social media marketing is a vital pillar of any contemporary digital marketing strategy. Social media platforms give marketers the tools to target specific audiences for maximum impact. There are many ways of approaching social media marketing. Techniques are divided into two categories: organic and paid.

What is organic social media marketing?

Organic social media marketing arises from interactions with other users on the platform, whereas paid marketing utilises the premium tools and services that social media services provide to marketers. Given the sheer size of the userbases of the biggest social media platforms, they are far too crucial for digital marketers to overlook; Facebook alone has 2.8 billion users and claimed nine million active advertisers in Q2 2020, boasting that mobile accounted for 92% of its total revenue. Paid social media ads management ensures your business benefits as much as possible from paid ads.

What are paid social media ads?

Paid social media ads are ads users pay to place on social media platforms. Any business with a social media account can upload ads to their profile free of charge, but they will only be seen by users who have already chosen to follow the business and stay up to date with the content they upload to their page. By contrast, paid social media ads are much more visible and shown to users beyond the business’s immediate network. 928.5 million people can be reached by ads on Instagram, with 92% of Instagram users saying they’ve followed a brand, clicked on their website, or purchased after seeing a product/service on the platform. The average organic reach for a Facebook post is 5.17% of a page’s likes, while the average paid reach is 28.1% of total reach Worldwide; the average Facebook user has clicked 12 ads in the last 30 days.

More than half (54%) of social media users use social media to research products they intend to purchase, and 27% of internet users say they find new products and brands through paid social ads. The percentage goes up for 16-24-year-olds as 31% say they discover new products and brands through paid social ads.

Your social media profiles must contain helpful information about your products and services. Novi. Digital’s paid social media ads management ensures your ads give customers everything they need to purchase.

What are the different types of paid social media ads?

There are several types of paid social media ads, each with advantages and disadvantages. Understanding their differences is essential to using them to their full effectiveness. Each social media platform favours a different type of content. Trying to market your business using the wrong content format for the platform will severely hamper its effectiveness. For example, Instagram revolves around visual, image-based content and B2C marketing. By contrast, LinkedIn focuses on B2B marketing and is better suited to long-form written content.

  • Image ads
  • Carousel ads
  • Product ads
  • Collection ads

What are image ads?

Image ads are probably the most common form of paid social media ad and are very effective for driving traffic to your website. Making image ads is easy and cheap. Pairing image ads with links to specific pages on your website enables you to drive traffic where you need it the most. Images without accompanying text can be just as compelling as images with text and may perform better in some cases.

What are carousel ads?

Carousel ads are similar to image ads but are better for telling a deeper story and conveying more information about your brand and products. Carousel ads enable you to show more to your audience than most other ads, but not every platform supports them. Facebook and Instagram help carousel ads; marketers on these platforms should incorporate them into their marketing campaigns to augment their regular image ads. WiYouan showcases as many as ten images or videos with carousels in a single ad. Better still, each photo or video within the carousel can link to a different page and feature its call to action. Facebook can even optimise the order of the images automatically based on the performance of each card. However, if you want to tell a sequential story, you should order the cards manually.

What are product ads?

If you have more than ten products to showcase or want to use more dynamic customer targeting, dynamic product ads are the way to go. You’ve probably seen these ads appear in your feeds after visiting a shopping site and viewing a product. Facebook’s Pixel tracking feature automatically serves the best-performing products and products users have previously considered. Other platforms operate differently. For example, Instagram enables users to tag multiple products in posts, making them more visible in user searches. Product ads should be eye-catching, with high-quality visuals, to be effective. Generally, using minimal text on your product ads would be best. According to AdEspresso, the most effective product ads have fewer than 20 words in the primary copy and 4 – 5 words in the link headline.

What are collection ads?

Collection ads are a subset of product ads that allow for a more immersive visual experience for audiences. You can think of collection ads as a digital storefront providing a window-shopping experience for users. They consist of the main banner, a still image or a video, with a row of products beneath. After tapping or clicking on a collection ad, users are taken to a visual experience powered by Facebook’s Instant Experience. Both Facebook and Instagram support this feature, enabling users to learn more about the products they see advertised without leaving the platform. Collection ads are a very effective way of nurturing customer interest and intent. Snapchat also provides a similar feature, where each image links to a separate webpage.

What should you consider when choosing what type of ads to use?

Choosing the best ad format for your social media marketing requires you to consider several critical factors:

  • Your target audience
  • What actions do you want to drive
  • Your budget

Different social media platforms favour different demographics. Each platform also selects another type of content. To get your money’s worth from paid social media ads, you must pick the right platform and craft your marketing for that specific platform.

Do you want your audience to find out more about your brand? Or do you want them to purchase specific products? The actions you’re trying to drive will determine which types of social media ads are the most effective in promoting your brand and products. How you craft your ads will also depend on the intended user action, so it’s essential to think about this before designing your campaign.

As with any marketing decision, your available budget will be essential. Each platform operates its pay-fee structures, and different advertisements have additional production costs.

What are interactive ads?

Interactive content is more immersive than static and is remarkably adequate for marketing products and services. Interactive ads do more than load web pages when the user clicks on them; they use various techniques to keep the user’s attention on them for longer and encourage interaction. Many types of interactive ads are experimental, offering 360-degree views of products, for example. But despite their practical nature, interactive ads are becoming more common and sophisticated daily. Interactive ads effectively foster connections between brands and audiences and promote more positive sentiments.

Why do I need paid social media ad management?

Social media platforms provide users the tools to purchase advertising space quickly and easily and place ads on the service. But while buying advertising space and uploading your ads is easy, maximising your ROI is more complex. Without an experienced social media marketer overseeing your paid ad campaign management, you’ll be flying blind. Compared to traditional advertisements, such as TV ads, billboards, and print marketing, paid social media ads are much cheaper to implement and manage, helping businesses maximise their ROI. Analysing data from paid ads is also much more accessible than judging the effectiveness of a print campaign, allowing companies to focus on the social media platforms that are gaining them the best results, further helping their ROI.
