Michael Melaro, Sr. Director of Retail Performance, and Kate Wolcott Rizzo, Sr. Creative Manager, of The Wellsville Group, join the Social Pros Podcast to discuss maximizing the return on social ads.
Maximize Your Social Ads
Social media has often been pitched as a way to reach a worldwide audience cheaply and easily. While this is true, it’s a bit of an oversimplification when talking about social ads.
Many businesses, especially those starting out, can fall into the trap of an “If we build it, they will come” mentality. While your social ads have the potential to reach everyone, they probably shouldn’t. Rather than starting your funnel as widely as possible and targeting later, you can maximize your returns by targeting from the top.
As The Wellsville Group has found, understanding your audience and targeting your top-of-funnel social ads means you can put more of your money into the bottom-of-funnel content. In this way, you can stop wasting dollars pushing ads out to people who have no interest, while investing in those who will actually bring returns.
