3 Facebook Features For Lead Generation

May 25, 2017 / By Opt-Intelligence

Facebook offers a wealth of data and services to advertisers. As they continue to add new features for users, advertisers benefit too. Their latest advances attempt to connect the online and offline experience to improve conversion rate and customer value, which can have a big impact on your Facebook lead generation efforts.

Offline Conversion Metrics for Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook realized that not every step of the conversion path happens on Facebook, or sometimes even online. In an effort to help advertisers more accurately track the true effectiveness of their Facebook Lead Ads, they’re launching an Offline Conversion solution that allows them to combine known customer data with Facebook behavior and offline actions. Advertisers upload the results of their lead campaigns or integrate their CRM in order to access more valuable results data and improve the effectiveness of their ads.

5 Ways To Use Seasonality For Lead Generation

May 17, 2017 / By Opt-Intelligence

One of the best ways to make a lead generation ad stand out is to speak directly to the user. This can be achieved in varying ways, using site cues based on ad placement, retargeting off past browsing behavior and narrowly defined demographic targeting that allows you to make certain assumptions. But perhaps one of the easiest way to stand out is to be timely, using current events, holidays and seasons to your advantage.

Seasonal Offers

Not every industry or business will be able to operationalize this, but if there is any way to tie your lead generation offer into a holiday or current event, do it. Retailers have been doing this forever, capitalizing on all kinds of holidays as a reason to discount merchandise. Why shouldn’t you? Every day has a different random holiday to commemorate, and social media makes many of them far more well-known than ever before. You can also tie into news headlines (but be prepared to act fast!) or simple weather patterns, crafting “warm up” and “cool down” offers. Anything to make your lead generation ad seem timely for today.

March 28, 2017 / By Opt-Intelligence

One of the key components of Facebook Lead Ad optimization is split testing. Also known as an A/B test, split testing entails splitting an audience into two random segments and showing them creative that differs in one key way. This can be your Facebook Lead Ad copy, imagery, offer, CTA or any other element of your ad. The key is to test one item at a time, keeping all the rest the same, in order to find the variable that works best.
