What is social media advertising for ecommerce — and is it worth it?

Social media advertising for ecommerce includes paid ads on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more.

Paid social advertising goes beyond your organic social media strategy to expand your reach on social platforms. Due to algorithm updates on platforms like Facebook, it’s harder than ever to reach customers organically in their social feeds. That’s why it’s important — especially for ecommerce stores looking to sell more online — to consider advertising on social media.

How to use social media advertising for ecommerce

There’s a lot that goes into creating winning social media ads, but we boiled it down to a few main points.

To get started advertising your ecommerce business on social media, you’ll want to:

1. Establish your campaign goals

Do you want to boost brand awareness? Increase traffic to your site? Earn more sales?

Setting clear goals for your social ad campaigns will help you get the best results.

Not sure how to set smart social media goals? Our experts at WebFX can help!

Contact us online, or give us a call at 888-601-5359 to learn more.

2. Choose your social platforms

Next, you need to determine which platforms you’ll use for social advertising. Depending on your goals and audience, you may choose to advertise on one or multiple platforms.

3. Develop your ad text and creative

You’ll also need to consider your ad design. Whether you use image, video, or plain text ads, you want your social ads to stand out in users’ feeds and encourage them to click.

Not a design pro? Don’t worry.

WebFX can help you design creative ads that drive engagement and support your business goals.

4. Create custom landing pages

Next, you’ll need to design custom landing pages that people “land” on after clicking your ads.

Make sure your landing page matches your ad copy. For example, if you run a campaign to advertise car parts you sell, you’ll want to link the ad to a landing page that highlights your car part offerings.

Landing pages should include a clear call to action (CTA), so visitors always know what step to take next.

Check out our landing page design best practices to learn more.

5. Set up ad targeting

Successful ecommerce social media ads use custom targeting to reach the most qualified audience.

Depending on your campaign and goals, you may choose to target social media users based on:

  1. Custom audiences or existing customer lists
  2. Keyword, interest, and user intent
  3. School, profession, and workplace
  4. Company size, industry, and job title
  5. Device
  6. Demographics
  7. And more

WebFX can help you identify and set up ad targeting options that will produce the best results for your business.

6. Launch your ads and monitor results

Finally, it’s time to launch your ads!

Just remember — you’ll need to monitor and evaluate campaign results continually. This will allow you to make data-backed changes to your campaigns so that you can earn more exposure, leads, and conversions.

At WebFX, our clients receive monthly social reports and optimization recommendations. Clients also have access to our exclusive return on investment (ROI) tracking software MarketingCloudFX, which makes it easier than ever to track social media’s impact on your bottom line.

If you want to learn more or need help evaluating and optimizing your social ads, give us a call at 888-601-5359!
