How Facebook Video Ads Help Conversions
Kelly Williams • Aug 30, 2019
Over 1.5 billion Facebook users are active
daily, which is why many marketers are focusing their marketing efforts on this
platform. However, Facebook’s algorithm keeps on changing, and in September, it
will implement its campaign budget optimization (CBO). With that, businesses
need to rethink their Facebook ad strategies to stay ahead of the game. What
worked for your business may not work anymore come next month, and you might
see a dip in your ad performance and conversion. One of the tips from an expert on how to
remain competitive is to utilize Facebook video ads, but you have to be smart
about it. You only have two to three seconds to catch a Facebook user’s
attention, so the first part of your video is crucial to the success of your
campaign. Here’s how Facebook video ads can help
increase your conversion rates:

1. You can improve brand awareness among the
cold audience
Pitching a sale to a cold audience is less
likely to succeed because they are not yet associated with your brand. With
Facebook ads, you can tap to a vast pool of cold audience, to build brand
awareness among them. Introduce your brand and build your authority by
providing them with valuable content. You can gather market data to gain an
insight into the type of content that they want to engage with and see. For
cold traffic prospects, keep your videos at 15 seconds or less.

2. You can increase Facebook page engagements
When you are in the middle of your sales
funnel, your target becomes the people who are already aware of your brand as a
result of providing them with valuable content. From there, your next goal is
to bring them to your Facebook page for engagement or video views. You can
create a custom audience landing page based on page views and video views. The video adsyou create will bring them to your website to discover more
information about your brand or to avail your products or services.
