B2C companies can easily identify their targets and quickly influence individuals to make a purchase, without <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">too<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> much thought.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Being that the B2B sales cycle is much longer than B2C, many<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> B2B marketers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> have written off Facebook as a practical source for generating leads. Conventional <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/blog\/social-media-platforms-for-b2b\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">social media platforms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, such as LinkedIn, have proved time and time again that the ideal customer profile exists within the confines of business-related platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the right marketing strategy and approach, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Facebook advertising<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can be a cost-effective tool for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B companies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to hit their revenue goals. We\u2019ve mapped out some of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">best practices <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on how to leverage <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/blog\/what-is-b2b-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for SaaS companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Set Your Objective\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A crucial step to a successful B2B marketing strategy is determining what your campaign objective is. Are you looking to raise <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">brand awareness<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">? Or are you solely running BOFU conversion campaigns as a secondary touchpoint for your clientele? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">B2B brands<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will focus on 4 parts of the funnel \u2013 brand awareness, traffic, lead generation, and conversions. Understanding which objective aligns with your goals will help you build a worthwhile B2B strategy on Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brand Awareness\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you want to serve ads to individuals that do not know about your business, Facebook is going to work overtime to push content to those within your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">target audience<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that is most likely to recall your ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a few months of testing and optimization, these campaigns begin to create brand recognition within your niche \u2013 which will help you stand out from the competition down the line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slack uses explainer videos to get its product out to its target audience without overwhelming the prospect. Notice the \u201cLearn More\u201d CTA \u2013 encouraging users to\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Traffic\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Implementing traffic campaigns is intended to bring prospective customers to your website. With the Facebook Pixel, you can create campaigns for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">custom audiences<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that have historically visited your website or Facebook page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead Generation\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead generation campaigns are a tried-and-true strategy to collect data directly from prospects;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">whether through a form, phone call, or with Facebook Messenger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since Facebook typically auto-fills the prospect&#8217;s information, this is a great way to get high-volume leads. However, it\u2019s not to say that these leads are always qualified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conversions<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to the high costs that come with conversion campaigns, it is best to only send prospects down the funnel once Facebook has enough data. When using the conversion objective, encourage closed deals by offering value \u2013 such as free trials, product tours, or demos. When a prospect is in the bottom of the funnel, it is likely that they are weighing their options amongst competitors, so it is important to win them in the best way possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Know Your Audience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many B2B brands feel as if Facebook, unlike LinkedIn, does not have enough data on their audiences to make targeting decisions; but with around 2.9 billion active Facebook users, there is opportunity reach your target audience, with the right approach. Rather than using broad, interested-based targeting, B2B brands must create custom audiences or capture low hanging fruit to be successful. There are 2 ideal ways you can do this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Utilize pixel data: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Facebook has captured users\u2019 information through the pixel placed on your website. You can retarget these users with specific offers \u2013 even dependent upon which webpages they visited.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Lookalike audiences: <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By using the data you already have living within your CRM, you can upload a list to Facebook and create a lookalike audience. Facebook takes the data, such as phone numbers and email addresses, and finds similar, cold prospects to push your ads to. This is a great alternative to interest based targeting, being that Facebook works harder to find individuals within your niche.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understanding who your target audience gives you leverage on knowing how to speak to your ideal customer. Rather than pushing out generic content that may or may not resonate with a prospect, creating custom audiences allows you to curate specific ad content, dependent upon the funnel stage and chosen audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ad Content\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are so many elements that go into creating a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">good<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ad \u2013 the messaging, proposition value, imagery, call-to-action, the list goes on! Since Facebook offers different formatting and placement options, split testing ads will be your best friend. Should you run video ads? Carousel ads? Long-form or short-form copy? The beauty of it all is that the testing options are endless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Messaging:\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A message that is communicated effectively will go a long way for B2B ads. Users that are reading your ad copy should be able to understand who you are, what you have to offer, and how it can benefit them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Imagery:\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Images, videos, GIFs, and carousels all serve a different purpose when conveying a message. While videos tend to have better engagement and can explain concepts more effectively, be sure to choose media that suits your campaign objectives. This Microsoft Azure ad uses an image that clearly shows the user what they can expect by clicking on this ad \u2013 the Cloud Application Architecture Guide:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All media should be eye catching and capture the attention of the audience within the first few seconds of interacting with the ad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Call-to-action:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All dependent upon the elements listed above, your call-to-action (CTA) is what brings an ad together. Depending on your campaign objective, some common CTAs you will most likely use are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn More\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Download Now\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sign Up\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get Quote\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Picking the CTA relevant to the rest of the ad helps send a clear message about what you want your potential customer to do. Are they signing up for a webinar, or learning more on your landing page? Choosing the wrong CTA may cause confusion for the customer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Final Thoughts\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Long gone are the days of believing that Facebook advertising is solely for B2C retailers. With the right strategy, B2B companies can dominate the Facebook advertising space to communicate with their audience. Intentionally choosing campaign objectives, audience targeting and ad content that aligns with your business\u2019 goals will set you up for success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to dabble in Facebook advertising, but not sure where to start?
