Getting The Highest ROI When Using Facebook Paid Ads

By Kamil Samara


Any smart marketer knows the bottom line for any promotion rests on ROI (Return On Investment). How much one puts in hopefully comes out the other side with a profit. For those who know how to use the hugely popular social network Facebook ad platform effectively, the ROI is particularly fairly high.



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

Keep up to date on the platform as Facebook is constantly adjusting how they deliver ads, with images being one of the most important things that will effect your results. This in combination with the right audience targeting will help you quickly assess the effectiveness of your ad campaign. Don't be like everyone else and lazily choose the most general audience you can think of. Dig deeper inside your particular niche to extract the best demographics and characteristics so as to match your message to your market audience, which in turn should lead to a nice ad ROI.

As mentioned already, your image in particular is key to success so carefully split test appropriate images for your industry. We're not saying to be the same here. Research what is working for your competition as well as whatever seems to be showing up in your news feed so you can engineer a winning campaign from other successful marketer's research. It should be obvious to select quality, vibrant photographs but be certain your image is eye catching to stand out from the rest.

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.

In the end, it's all about keeping a close tab on the metrics of the campaign while it is in effect. The reason why the ROI with Facebook is so good at the moment is because the data they provide for their advertisers. By understanding this data and using it appropriately while tweaking your campaign, should lead to an incredible return on your investment that is currently unmatched.
