As business owners in a digital world, you’re faced with a lot of questions. What is the best strategy for my ad campaign? Which strategy fits my budget the best? What metrics should I be watching to evaluate the success of my ad?
When it comes to a marketing strategy, the first step is always to figure out the specific goal of the project. Prioritize the goals that you want to achieve: brand awareness, traffic to your website, or even sales in general. There are specific metrics that accompany each goal and will help ensure you secure proper results and achieve the end goal of your marketing campaign. In this blog post, we’ll be going over the big two.
Cost-Per-Click or Pay-Per-Click campaigns are huge for both brand awareness and increasing the traffic to your website or shop. Essentially, you don’t pay for the advertisement that is placed until after a user has clicked on the advertisement, thus driving more traffic to your website or shop location. CPC campaigns can be used in search, display, shopping, and even video ads. While CPC campaigns are extremely effective and beneficial to the end goals of your campaign they can push your budget requirements as well.
Impression based campaigns are the best way to get your brand and the content you create in front of the eyes of potential consumers. With these types of campaigns, ads or promoted content is placed on users’ feeds or searches thus allowing you to achieve a higher number of views or eyes on your content. Impression based campaigns can be extremely beneficial to your end goals when targeted correctly and utilizing the best content that will make the user want to see more.
