We take a 3 phase approach to building every marketing machine for our clients.
Phase 1- Research and Test
In this phase, we research the social media platforms that your customer base is most likely to be found on. We are looking for the most active users that are most likely to convert. We do this by evaluating your target audience, existing website audience demographics, and any other known data.
Then we test. We launch paid campaigns targeting users based on the data that we've gathered during our research. This allows us to run successful targeted ads to a targeted audience early on. We also, begin testing other audience targeting to broaden the audience.
During this phase, we are looking for any indications that a new audience has potential for future campaigns as we move into the next phase. Finding a broader audience for a business allows for scaling in paid social campaigns.
Phase 2- Refine
During the refining phase, we begin to refine everything that we have learned from the testing phase. The audience targeting that we tested in Phase 1 now becomes a part of a larger strategy and we focus on conversions with the paid social media strategy.
Since we have gathered new audience data in Phase 1 we can now begin to drill down on creative and delivery. the goal is to maximize each new audience with paid social media on the chosen social media platforms.
This campaign strategy allows for us to make the most of our client's paid social budget, ensuring a positive return on ad spend as soon as possible. During this phase, we focus on campaign optimization for all paid social media ads.
Phase 3- Scale
This phase is where we add fuel to the fire. We take all of the data from Phase 1 and Phase 2 and crank up the social media adverting, increasing the budget for the ad campaigns that show the most promise for success.
During this phase, you will start to see the tangible results of your custom paid social media strategy. Sales and/or leads will start to become more evident from paid campaigns on social platforms. Your social ads will begin to perform and drive excitement for your business.
Once phase 3 is complete, and we have launched several successful paid social campaigns, we start over and begin looking for opportunities with new audiences and on other platforms.
This approach has proven successful for all of our clients. Although the individual paid social strategy differs for each business, this framework for social media advertising has a proven track record of success.
