What makes a Facebook ad really great?

Building a powerful ad on Facebook centers on how well you know your target audience.

The persuasive copy and gorgeous imagery emerge out of that understanding, determining how effective the ad will be at convincing them to learn more about your brand and give you money for your product.

To create a really good Facebook ad, you’ll want to check off the following boxes:

• Focus on the objective. Your ad creative and your ad objective need to be aligned. For ecommerce ads, you’ll likely to aiming for clicks so make your copy and images drive them to click through.
• Be unique. You aren’t the only one advertising to that audience, so you need to rise above the other brands with a unique selling proposition that persuades them to investigate further.
• Narrow your audience. If you try to sell to everyone, you’ll end up just failing bigger. Choose a more targeted audience and write your ad with them in mind. You can always create different ads for different audiences, each designed to convert with targeted creative.
• Match copy and visuals. People are reading your visuals and copy as a package. If they don’t fit with each other, the message won’t work. Each ad needs to be a unified marketing message to drive clicks and conversions.
• Test and measure. Being able to run many ads at once is a blessing for learning what works and what doesn’t. Try a variety of headlines with the same image or vice versa to see the best combinations of images and copy to get users to your store. A/B testing ads is simple!
• Send traffic to the right place. Just as your ad creative needs to match to work together, so does the landing page you send that ad traffic to. For products, you can send traffic to a persuasive product landing page. For sales promotions, direct them to a dedicated special offer landing page. Don’t lose them with mixed messaging!

If you’ve gone through this list and still have questions, that’s fine. We’ve only just gotten started!

Let’s head on into some killer advertising examples that will show what all the above learnings mean in real-life ads.

Chubbies uses humor to persuade

They are also able to show off multiple product variations and features with this format.

To further persuade readers, they talk about how their “state of the art swim trunks” are made just for you and feel like “wearing a ball of sunshine and good vibes”, which sounds pretty great. To cap it off, they repeat their policy of “Always Free Shipping”.
