Can I track what sales have come from my Social ads?

You absolutely can. If someone advised you that you couldn’t, I’d be turning around and running the other way! Through the use of the Facebook Pixel and UTM parameters, you can track multiple actions depending on what you’re selling. In order to effectively track what is doing well, tracking needs to be perfect. Certain ads and ad formats will perform better than others so setting up a testing framework properly to begin with is crucial.

On the other hand, Dynamic ads can be more beneficial for businesses running ecommerce businesses due to high SKU count and relevancy.

How can I optimise my paid social advertising campaigns for better results?

To optimise your paid social advertising campaigns there’s a handful of optimisations that need to be done. To start with, regularly monitor campaign performance, experiment with different ad creatives, review targeting options and bidding strategies. Once you have a solid performance base, A/B test ad variations, types and placements to identify top-performing areas. Use audience insights and analytics data to refine your targeting, ad messaging, and budget allocation for maximum efficiency and return on ad spend (ROAS).

What social media platforms should my business be active on, and how can social media marketing help me reach my audience?

Popular platforms include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, and TikTok. Social media marketing can help you reach your audience by building brand awareness, promoting products or services, and driving website traffic and conversions. We recommend not spreading yourself too thin and focusing on one or two to begin with.

How much does social media marketing cost?

The cost of paid social advertising varies depending on factors such as your target audience, ad objectives, bidding strategy, ad quality, and industry competition. Most social media platforms offer flexible budget options, allowing you to set a daily or lifetime budget based on your advertising goals. Then comes the conversation about costs from the social media marketing agency itself. Make sure you get a clear idea of how much it will cost you for them to run ads on your behalf.
