It will also give you a step-by-step breakdown of how to set up each of these campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>While the process of setting up a Facebook campaign might seem daunting, this is only the beginning. The real work starts when your campaign goes live and you have to actively manage it to avoid ad fatigue. You need to go into this process knowing what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2>Facebook ad campaigns<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Campaign 1: Re-marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This type of campaign is designed to target people who have visited your website but haven\u2019t converted into a lead or customer yet. With this Facebook ad campaign you will be making special offers to this audience in the hopes of finally converting them into customers.<\/p>\n<p>The first step for this campaign is to install Facebook Pixel on your website. Facebook Pixel will give you a handy insight into how visitors from Facebook interact with your site. Once you have Facebook Pixel installed, you can then create a custom audience of website visitors.<\/p>\n<h3>Follow the following 10 steps to do this:<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Ads Manager main menu.<\/li>\n<li>Under the \u2018Assets\u2019 column, click on \u2018Audiences\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>When the Audiences dashboard opens, click on \u2018Create Audience\u2019 and then select \u2018Custom Audience\u2019 from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Create a Custom Audience\u2019 window, select \u2018Website Traffic\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u2018Any\u2019 along with your Facebook Pixel to set up your custom audience.<\/li>\n<li>Choose \u2018All Website Visitors\u2019 in the condition section.<\/li>\n<li>Change the duration to \u2018180 days\u2019 in order to create the largest website custom audience.<\/li>\n<li>To make sure that you are not wasting money advertising to people who are already customers, click on \u2018Exclude People\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>In the new field that appears, click on the condition and then select \u2018Purchases\u2019 from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<li>Again, change the audience duration to 180 days in order to include most people in your audience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>At a later stage you can create shorter website custom audience durations that might be more in-line with your specific needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-video align_none ratio_16x9 has_iframe\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><iframe title=\"Vimeo video player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/285980336?autoplay=0&loop=0&autopause=0&color=00adef&portrait=0&byline=1&title=1&controls=1&muted=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div><div class=\"w-video-icon\" style=\"font-size:1.5rem;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.5);color:#fff\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Now that you have set up your custom audience, you can now set up your campaign.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open up the Ads Manager and click on \u2018Create\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Campaign Objective\u2019 drop-down list, select \u2018Traffic\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Name your campaign and click on \u2018Save to draft\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to the \u2018Ad Set\u2019 level and set your budget, select your custom audience and then choose your placement and bidding optimisation settings.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Audience\u2019 section select the 180-day website custom audience that you created earlier.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Placements\u2019 section select \u2018Edit Placements\u2019 then choose \u2018Feeds on Facebook\u2019 and \u2018Feed on Instagram\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Optimization and Delivery\u2019 section, change the \u2018Optimization for Ad Delivery\u2019 to \u2018Landing Pages Views\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Move to \u2018Ad Level\u2019 and select \u2018Ad With an Image or Video\u2019.

You will follow the same steps from the first campaign, but with a few changes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>For this campaign you will need to create two types of engagement for custom audiences, for the first, select \u2018Facebook Page\u2019 as the source, and for the second one select \u2018Instagram Business Profile\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Choose \u2018Traffic\u2019 as your campaign objective and at the \u2018Ad set\u2019 level select your Facebook page engagement custom audience.<\/li>\n<li>In the \u2018Optimisation and Delivery\u2019 field, select \u2018Landing page views\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>When introducing your product or service offering, remember to link to the relevant page on your website.<\/li>\n<li>After you publish your Facebook engagement re-marketing campaign, duplicate the ad set and change the targeting to your Instagram engagement custom audience.<\/li>\n<li>At the \u2018Ad Level\u2019, select \u2018Use Existing Post\u2019 and then select \u2018Ad Posts\u2019 from the selection matrix.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the same ad name that you created for your Facebook page engagement ad set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Campaign 3: Advertise to an audience that is based on interests related to your product or service<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With this campaign you are aiming to reach audiences straight from the offer ad. This is the audience that has never interacted with your brand before. Again, follow the steps set out for the first campaign but make the following changes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Create saved <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/blog\/segmentation-should-be-priority-email-marketing-strategy\/\">audiences<\/a> based on interests related to your product, service or industry in general.<\/li>\n<li>When setting up your campaign, select the \u2018Traffic\u2019 campaign objective, optimise for \u2018Landing Page Views\u2019 and change your audience to one of the saved interests that you set up in the previous step.<\/li>\n<li>Create your campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalschoolofmarketing.co.za\/contact-us\/\">Get in touch with the Digital School of Marketing<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>While there are a variety of different ad campaigns that you can create, these three campaigns are the easiest to start with and are the most profitable.
