By Kamil Samara


One of the main metrics used for measuring a marketing campaign's efficiency is return on investment (ROI). The social network Facebook delivers a fairly high ROI, particularly if you use their available features to your best advantage.



There are many ways to increase the ad ROI on Facebook. Some of the following techniques will work better than others.

One of the most important aspects of an ad is to check your targeting. The opportunities on Facebook allow you to create very effective campaigns. Some of the most important targeting aspects include age, location, and interests. The worst mistake you can make on Facebook is advertising to a broad audience, targeting should be laser focused. When a campaign is niche down the ad ROI is going to much higher and profitable.

The design is also an important element if you are looking to get the maximum number of clicks. A good starting point is to use high quality images. The design of the ad should be eye-catching. There are many other ads competing against you, and it will be the only way to grab some attention. Every single day Facebook users are bombarded with content and ads. You have to be the one advertiser that stands out among the noise.

Also, it may not be obvious but including a CTA (Call To Action) will significantly improve your results. Telling the potential web visitor what actions you'd like them to take has shown to improve the conversions on follow through. The art here is to manage to do this all within the limitation of the ad text you are allowed. While it may seem difficult, study proven winners to get ideas.

The last thing you need to do is track your ad's performance during the course of the campaign. Facebook provides you with some very useful metrics that you can review. They can help you determine which aspects of your campaign are not working and which ones are delivering the best results. If you adjust your ad while it live, this can help you reach an even bigger target audience and help you achieve the best ROI possible on your ads.
