What Are Facebook Instant Experience Ads?
Facebook Instant Experience ads are the new and improved Facebook Canvas ads, giving users full-screen highlights of your brand, products, and services.
Better yet, the ads work with most formats, such as images, videos, carousels, and slideshows. Here’s how Facebook Instant Experience works:
- In a user’s feed, the ads appear as regular photo ads
- A person clicks on one of the advertisements
- It opens a mobile landing page that automatically expands to full-screen
With instant-loading speeds — 15x faster than the standard mobile web — Facebook Instant Experience works well with a wide variety of ad campaign goals:
- App downloads
- Video views
- Landing page visits
- And more
And the ease of implementing Facebook Instant Experience in social media advertising campaigns makes it easy to test their success through A/B testing.
Facebook Instant Experience templates
Facebook Instant Experience includes five easy-to-use templates specifically optimized for mobile, which make creating an engaging, media-rich, all-in-one-place advertising campaign easy. It’s great for not only fashion, retail, ecommerce companies, but also any business model.
Aside from Facebook’s pre-built templates, Instant Experience lets you create custom full-screen experiences that you can add to almost any of Facebook’s various ad formats. You’ll be able to custom build ads that include:
- Carousels
- Single photos
- Videos
- Text blocks
- CTA buttons
- And more!
And get this, each Instant Experience automatically includes a Facebook Pixel. This newly added feature makes it a breeze to target previous viewers in a remarketing campaign. Even better, you can now integrate third-party pixels into your Instant Experience ads.
With these, you’ll have all the detailed data and metrics you need to make your marketing campaign a success.
Instant Storefront
Instant Storefront sets up like a product magazine with a grid of photos showing multiple products that users can interact with all in one place. This template gives you the best place to incorporate your ecommerce catalog into your Facebook marketing campaign, providing you with an online social media platform for interested users to browse your products.
Instant Storytelling
Looking to build your brand image? Then, this is the format for you.
With Instant Storytelling, you build video ads great for telling engaging stories about your brand. In videos, it’s easy to let your audience get to know all the unique quirks and personalities of yourself, your team, and the company you make up. This style of ads provides an excellent way to showcase how the products and services you offer can help solve your audience’s problems, whether that be staying in the know, looking trendy or anything in between.
Instant Lookbook
Instant Lookbook is another image format similar to Instant Storefront.
The difference from Instant Storefront, though, is that instead of images appearing as a grid, the images show as full-screen. Your users can scroll down through images from your product list one photo at a time. With Instant Lookbook, users see your products in action.
Each product image gives them a look at what it would look like on people similar to themselves, as well as additional product information to help them decide to buy. It’s a great way of boosting sales.
Instant Customer Acquisition
Instant Customer Acquisition is one of the coolest changes from Facebook’s original Canvas ads. With Instant Customer Acquisition, advertisers can set up ads that function as landing pages (complete with actionable CTAs), all specifically for the mobile app.
Users can download apps, sign up for an email newsletter, or click to find out more right from the comfort of their Facebook app. The landing pages are fast too! With most mobile landing pages taking up to 15 seconds to load, the instant load speed of Instant Customer Acquisition makes a stark difference.
Instant Form
Instant Forms, another excellent addition, all users to submit information straight through the ad.
This makes it a great option to pair with Instant Customer Acquisition. With Instant Forms, users do not need to leave the platform (which often causes users to abandon ad), especially with slow landing page speed. Facebook also makes it easy to fill out forms.
The Instant Forms automatically fills out with as much information as Facebook knows about the user, which makes it a snap for users to convert. As a result, your conversion rates will skyrocket. Don’t believe me?
