Now you know everything you need to create your ads on Instagram Ads. But, there is no magic formula to make your ads successful and reach as many people as possible. Some tips can help a lot; check out some:
Know Your Audience
A critical factor in getting the most potential out of your ads is knowing your audience in depth. The more focused on the persona, the more likely you are to be assertive in finding the right people interested in your business.
Use Creative Texts
Instagram is primarily a visual medium, so use attractive images in your ads. But using good text that engages the user with calls to action can make all the difference. Make it clear what you expect your user to do, such as clicking, downloading an eBook, visiting your website, asking for a quote, or making a purchase. A persuasive text makes all the difference.
Use Hashtags
Please don’t underestimate the power of hashtags, but don’t overuse them either. Using hashtags can increase the engagement of your ads. But watch out! Do not use more than 30 hashtags in each post; think about the quality and not quantity. Instagram does not recommend excessive amounts in your post. So use them wisely.
Encourage Engagement
There are a few ways you can encourage engagement on your Instagram. You can create content that enables users to interact with posts, such as asking questions for them to answer and polling in Stories, for example. Another highly recommended way is by interacting with your users and replying to comments and direct messages. People like to know they are heard.
Measure And Optimize
You can track the performance of your Instagram Ads through Facebook Ads Manager. So remember always to keep an eye on your campaigns. So, if any strategy is not performing very well, you can make optimizations to reach the pre-defined objectives in your planning. One of the most common optimizations is to change the campaign’s target audience. Often an ad works for a specific audience but not so well for others.
Tests, Tests, And More Tests
It’s no use trying to optimize a single ad forever. It is necessary to test different texts and images in the same campaign. What converts more: “Learn more” or “Download”? Product images or with people using products? Description of products or texts that arouse people’s desire?
These questions will never be answered if they are not put to the actual test. A/B testing is critical to understanding the most efficient type of content. You can even test audiences for the same kind of ads. A/B testing is a fundamental tool for extracting information about the performance of your ads. Be sure to do all sorts of tests.
