With over 61 million senior level influencers and 40 million decision makers, the platform is prime targeting ground to reach people to promote your content to. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn\u2019s ability to target companies, job functions,\u00a0and job seniority makes its advertising platform the perfect tool to promote your content. However, the LinkedIn advertising costs are high compared to other platforms such as paid search management, generally between $6-$9\/click, which can be a turnoff to many people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, the inability to do ad scheduling means spend will be wasted on unprofitable time periods.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are other ways to control your spend and make sure that you are efficient with your LinkedIn dollars. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are seven simple ways to reduce your LinkedIn ad spend:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Be Creative With Your Ads<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click-through-rate is an essential percentage to be aware of when reviewing LinkedIn advertising costs. If your ads are not clicked on, they will end up in a lower position in the feed, and your cost-per-conversion will rise. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not ideal! The easiest way to combat this is by creating attractive ads. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do I mean by this? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With LinkedIn, two elements you want to focus on are the ad description and image. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the image, you want a picture that catches a user\u2019s attention on their feed. However, you also want the image to be relevant to the offer that you are promoting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Putting statistics in the ad image, as well as starting the description with a direct question to the visitor are two tactics that we have seen perform well in LinkedIn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15736\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-A-1024x432.png\" alt=\"Image example that could lower LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-A-1024x432.png 1024w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-A-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-A-768x324.png 768w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-A.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15738\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-B-1-1024x139.png\" alt=\"Text example on lower LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-B-1-1024x139.png 1024w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-B-1-300x41.png 300w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-B-1-768x105.png 768w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-B-1.png 1102w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these methods help your ad stand out from the ever so familiar stock images, and by using a question in your copy, visitors feel as if they are being understood. These methods are worth testing in your LI strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher click-through-rates = more significant <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/cpc\/\">CPC<\/a> discounts by LinkedIn. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. \u00a0Choose the Right Audience Size<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With LinkedIn having the best targeting of any ad platform, there may be an urge for you to over-target and have too many target parameters for your ideal audience. This would be a HUGE mistake. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you want your audience to be targeted, you also want enough people to click on your ad to opt into your offer. Keep in mind that unlike social media sites such as Facebook, people only use LinkedIn for a particular reason (looking at posts on industry trends,) and for a small amount of time during their day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to target an audience of only a few thousand, you would have to hope that enough of your <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/target-audience\/\">target audience<\/a> is logged into the platform to be able to see your ad in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your audience is too small, you run the risk of not having enough people to engage with your ad, which will lower <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/click-through-rate\/\">click-through rate (CTR)<\/a> and increase your cost\/click. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the next time you assemble your LinkedIn target audiences, aim for between 30,000-90,000 people. This is an appropriate audience size that will ensure you are getting clicks on your ads to achieve a stable click-through rate that will lower your ad costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. \u00a0Bid Low (at least to start with)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to bidding, what many advertisers do is enter the recommended bid set by LinkedIn:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15739\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick2.png\" alt=\"Example of recommending bid amount related to LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"497\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick2.png 497w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick2-300x141.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a good option if you want to get an acceptable amount of impressions and clicks, but a better choice is to place the starting bid just above the minimum floor. If LinkedIn\u2019s minimum bid is $4.75 (as pictured below), set the bid to $5.00 to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15740\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-1.png\" alt=\"Example of bid amount when referring to LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"486\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-1.png 486w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick1-1-300x130.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By setting the bid low, and tracking daily spend for the first few days, you can tell if your bid is placed high enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not spending your budget throughout the day, your ads are not getting enough reach, so you can raise your bids higher. If you are using all of your spend, then you know you are receiving the right amount of clicks and that your bid is fine as is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Remember: Bid low and right above the floor for what LinkedIn allows you to do. Monitor your spend levels throughout the first few days. You\u2019ll thank me later! <\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. \u00a0Change to CPM Bidding<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal on LinkedIn is for your ads to perform above a 1% click-through-rate so you can switch your ads to cost-per-impression(CPM) bidding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn, similar to Google, gives bid discounts on ads that get clicked on. Having above a 1% CTR and switching to CPM bidding will mean you are getting three times the average response rate and bidding below the floor (could be below $1\/click).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in learning more about how CPM bidding works, check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingland.com\/linkedin-ads-cpc-vs-cpm-bidding-stop-saying-depends-goals-197038\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AJ Wilcox\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blog post on LinkedIn bidding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Break Up Your Audiences<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advertisers new to LinkedIn usually use the following process: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) Create ads around their offer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) Add job titles, seniority and functions they want to target into one campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) Set budget and run ads. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this is a huge mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem when you add all targeting parameters to one campaign is that you cannot segment your data. LinkedIn only gives you the performance amongst the entire target audience, not individual job titles, job functions or companies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15741\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick4.png\" alt=\"Example of targeted audience, which can affect LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"320\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick4.png 320w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick4-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s use the target audience above as an example. If you are targeting job functions, instead of lumping together marketing, administrative, finance, and operations, create separate campaigns for each of these job functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By separating your audiences this way, you will get more granular data and see which audience your offer is performing well for. This allows you to pause campaigns with poor performing audiences and re-allocate that budget to better-performing ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Make Sure You Have The Right Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensuring that you have the appropriate offer for LinkedIn is critical, not only to reduce ad spend but to find success on the platform. To do this, let\u2019s take a look at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/blog\/8-type-of-content-to-fill-gaps-in-b2b-buyers-journey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">content funnel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for LinkedIn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15742\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/02\/Patrick5.jpeg\" alt=\"Graphic of content funnel and how it relates to LinkedIn advertising costs.\" width=\"474\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOFU(Top-of-Funnel) offers &#8211; Infographics, blog posts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MOFU(Middle-of-Funnel) offers &#8211; Whitepapers, webinars, eBooks, (gated content assets)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BOFU(Bottom-of-Funnel) offers &#8211; Trial, demo offer<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With LinkedIn, people are at the top of the awareness funnel. Some may have heard of your company or product, but many have not. Offering free trials or demos to people at the top of the awareness stage is a misalignment in intent and will lead to high <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/uk\/resources\/glossary\/cost-per-acquisition\/\">CPA<\/a>, low CTR, and overall, low conversion rates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, sending people to infographics and blog posts where personal information is not being collected is a waste of spend and will lead to high spend, high CPA and low conversion rates. Given how expensive LinkedIn advertising costs can get, unless you are receiving a prospect\u2019s contact information in exchange for the content that you offer, it is not worth your time to use the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To decrease CPA and ensure ad spend is not wasted, offer gated content assets that solve a problem related to your product or service. These are lower friction offers where the value still exceeds the cost someone has to pay by\u00a0putting their personal information into a form.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Test Your Advertising Elements on Your Organic Feed<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a strong organic presence on LinkedIn complements your advertising efforts. By building up a substantial following, you now have a base of people to test your ad copy and offers on. This gives you a good idea of whether or not an offer, image, description will work before you put advertising dollars behind it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are concerned about ad spend, first test your offers, descriptions, images, and headlines amongst your followers. This gives you insight on whether or not people will engage with your paid offers and your spend will not be wasted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing Thoughts <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LinkedIn is the best platform for lead generation, being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironpaper.com\/webintel\/articles\/how-effective-is-linkedin-for-b2b-marketing-these-20-stats-say-it-all\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">277% more effective<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than Facebook and Twitter.
