Using Facebook Advertising for Lead Generation

April 7th, 2018 by

I get a lot of questions about using Facebook advertising for lead generation.

A solid Lead Generation program utilizes many different channels. These include direct mail, telemarketing, email marketing, and social media marketing. Video, door-to-door marketing, and networking are also excellent channels for lead generation.

Lead generation is the process of building interest in a business’s products or services. You can build that interest in your business by using Facebook to create a variety of campaigns. We call this the lead generation objective.

One of the Facebook advertising options allows consumers to fill out a form, called an “Instant Form”.  The form allows people to input their contact information. Make sure you give them a reason to fill it out. In marketing, we call that  “the offer”. The offer is very important and you want to make sure it’s worthy.

Once you get responses, you can track these on your own website using Facebook’s pixel feature.

Facebook Ads

Facebook ads are paid messages from businesses that are written in their voice. Your goal is to reach the people who matter most to your business. Your campaign needs to have specific goals. These are called advertising objectives. Once you have decided on your objectives, you can create ads within those campaigns. This is designed to help you reach your objectives.

For example, you may create a campaign because you want to get more people to visit your website. When you create ads within that campaign, you will choose the images and text for your ad. You will also be able to select the right audience for your ad. Your goal is to get them to click on your ad and go to your website. We call that driving people to your website.

Using Facebook advertising for lead generation is a great option for many businesses. It also offers marketers easy access to campaign performance data. This can help you tweak and refine your marketing strategy.

Nowadays, a Facebook ad campaign is easy to set up. It can provide you with great results. You can actually get started on a campaign within minutes, just by following the Facebook advertising directions.
