This can include setting up marketing funnels to essentially provide different touch points at different stages of the customer journey from initially learning about your offerings through to the lead or sale.
Your Kook digital marketing expert will not only determine the best type of campaign structure to achieve your goals, but also ensure the targeting utilised for each campaign enables your advertising budget to be spent effectively on prospects who are more likely to convert.
Cold audience targeting on Facebook Ads
Facebook and Instagram offer the most powerful targeting options available on any advertising platform in the world, but it’s vital to correctly leverage these capabilities.
When using demographic targeting to reach cold audiences – those who do not yet know your brand – it’s absolutely critical that you reach only those most likely interested in your product or service out of Facebook’s 1.5 billion plus daily active users or you’ll be wasting an enormous portion of your spend.
Using the data collected by Facebook about a user’s demographics, interests, behaviours and geographic location (including where they live, work and visit), Kook is able to very specifically target your Facebook Ads to an exact audience – and therefore reach your ideal customers.
