How to design Facebook ads to gain maximum profit

Well, Facebook ad optimization is a key to success in promoting your online store and reaching huge revenues. As we have already mentioned, it’s absolutely not challenging to start and run ad campaigns on Facebook. It can bring you profit even if you deal with Facebook ads for the first time and don’t know anything about running ad campaigns on Facebook.

However, if you are eager to derive the maximum benefit from advertising on FB, you need to pay particular attention to lots of different aspects. So how to design Facebook ads and gain the maximum profit? Let those who are a dab hand with this answer!

Why promote your store on Facebook?

Facebook ads as one of the core traffic sources

Statistics say it all. It’s extremely profitable to promote your ecommerce business on Facebook. But here is a logical question, then: have the store creators tried to use other social media for promotion? Yes, sure!

Facebook was not the only platform the team used in order to launch ads. For instance, they also rely heavily on Google Shopping. And this is exactly what they recommend other dropshippers do. However, the competition in Google Shopping has increased, so you should take the utmost when using it for promotion.

Meantime, in their view, it’s Facebook that has perfect targeting settings. And since the majority of the store buyers lives in the United States, and FB can boast the biggest segment of potential customers from the US, their choice fell on Facebook.

What should a Facebook ad look like?

First of all, let’s clear up the following: what should a Facebook ad creative look like, and how to launch a really profitable ad campaign on Facebook?

Well, Facebook ad creative is a video or banner for marketing purposes. In practice, they look as follows.

Banners

It seems that there is nothing challenging about Facebook ads, right? However, there are a number of aspects you should pay particular attention to if you want Facebook ad managers to approve your ad creatives. In fact, it is unlikely to cause any problems if you meet all the requirements. Although things happen and some ads can be banned.

But there are lots of articles on why you got banned from Facebook. This is a broken record and, certainly, not the matter we’re going to discuss today. So the point is that our team has been testing different kinds of Facebook ad creatives and now they are ready to share with us a detailed guide on how to design Facebook ads right for the maximum benefit!

1) Video and banners should always be followed by texts

This is all about a short but deep text that is able to specify the product’s incontestable benefits in solving the most painful issues. Or it needs to inspire Internet users to purchase a product or service due to other reasons.

2) Don’t forget to design a featured image if you prepare a video ad

Definitely, you also need to think of a short text that is going to describe what this video is about. However, not all people are fond of reading, so try to interest them by means of an eye-catching featured image.

3) Fill your ad texts with emojis

This is also all about the circumstances mentioned above: not all Internet users are fond of reading. And these are emojis that are supposed to draw their attention since they are not only catchy but are also able to provide them with an insight into this.

4) Minimize the quantity of text material on ad creatives

An example of minimalistic Facebook ads design

Firstly, Facebook doesn’t let you fill more than 20% of a picture with text. Secondly, texts can overload the picture. So how to deal with this? It’s a good idea to use a high-quality image that is able to send a message itself. And as for texts, try to use fewer inscriptions: provide coupons, notify about sales, etc.

5) Forget that discounts are a must-have for ad creatives

The point is that you need to understand how your target audience feels about discounts. We asked the team behinf our most profitable dropshipping store if they use the discount size in Facebook ad creatives. And, frankly speaking, we were sure they would say yes.

However, the surprise is that they have tested both variants. And, according to the statistics, it doesn’t matter whether the discount size is presented or not. They believe that it depends heavily on the target audience.

But here is one more interesting fact: the product price can vary occasionally that is likely to affect the discount size. That’s why if you don’t want to redesign your Facebook ad creatives on a permanent basis, the best strategy is to use neutral phrases such as ‘limited offer’, ‘best price’, and so on for your ads.

BTW, it’s a great idea to use the vacated space for customers’ feedback. The store creators claim that Facebook ad creatives that provide social proof perform a lot better when you promote through FB.

6) Try to create true Facebook ads

How to find a way to make perfect Facebook ad creatives? Well, first, we monitor the competitors’ ads trying to find their weaknesses in order to do it better. Of course, it’s necessary to find media materials to design a FB ad creative.

However, sometimes the store creators decide to go beyond simply using the materials on the Internet, but shoot videos themselves. And the most interesting fact about this is that true ad creatives perform a lot better.

What is a true ad creative? Well, you can make a video for a beard trimmer and put some music over it. But your potential customers will definitely appreciate it if you provide them with an opportunity to hear how it works. Okay?

By the way, due to their modesty, the store creators concede that their strategy has definitely borne fruit. However, they believe that they are still actively looking for the way to create a perfect Facebook ad.

How to set up a Facebook ad?

It’s crucial not only to create a Facebook ad but also to set up an ad campaign right. And if you are not going to pay enough attention to this aspect, even a perfect ad creative risks of being unnoticed and bringing you losses but not profits.

How to achieve the best ad delivery?

When you launch a Facebook ad campaign, you need to choose how to configure your ads. So how to do this right?

The store creators admit that this is a very important stage for your business promotion. First of all, they test different ad creatives in order to understand which of them have greater potential in terms of engagement using PPE campaigns. Then, they choose the most efficient ad creatives and launch campaigns aimed at conversions. Meanwhile, the best performing ads in a PPE campaign are left to collect likes/comments/shares and cheap traffic.

How to find a target audience?

Setting up your campaign audience

Many marketers have already discussed how to find a target audience a million times. In this particular case, the store creators, certainly, tested different audiences. After all, they decided to focus on people from the US. This choice stems from the fact that this target audience is widely presented on FB. What’s more, it’s extremely convenient to deal with this audience on Facebook.

Where to place a Facebook ad?

If you have ever dealt with Facebook ads, you are highly likely to know that FB provides different ad placements. Your ad creatives can be displayed in Feeds, Stories, Search, etc.

Which section should you choose for the maximum benefit? Our team relies heavily on the auto-placement not limiting Facebook Ads Managers to choose the most promising ad placement. Perhaps, this is the very decision that let them reach the following: social media accounts bring about 85% of all the store revenues.

How many campaigns to run simultaneously?

It depends on you heavily. You should understand how much time you’re ready to allow for the store promotion. In this particular case, up to 10 ad campaigns on Facebook are running simultaneously. Meantime, there are five and more ad sets added to each campaign, some of them are transferred to the other ones, some are turned off, etc.

A range of FB campaigns running simultaneously

Generally, we run 2-3 retargeting campaigns, several campaigns to test the audiences, some ones for the most promising audiences with increased budgets, and some campaigns for different audiences with optimized budgets (CBO).

How to automate your FB campaigns?

When you set up Facebook ad campaigns, please note that Facebook provides you with an opportunity to automate your ad campaigns by means of FB Automated Rules. However, the point is that in our case, the store creators have decided to avoid this option.

Right, sometimes self-help is the best help. And since this business brings millions of dollars a year, the store creators allow time to monitor how efficient and lucrative ad campaigns are on a daily basis.

Summing it up: how to design Facebook ads and set up ad campaigns for the greatest return

Well, as we have already mentioned, there is nothing challenging about launching and running Facebook ad campaigns. Following the strategy kindly shared by the creators of a highly successful dropshipping store, you can achieve outstanding results, too!

Well, if you are eager to try yourself in this field, too, you’ll be pleased to know it has become easier! With these smart Facebook ads design tips and the opportunity to purchase the exact replica of $500K+/year-making store, you are welcome to put your bold ideas into effect, start a profitable dropshipping business, and turn your life around once and for all!
