Customized social media advertising for your target group

Social media have long since become a mainstay of the marketing mix. 9 out of 10 Germans regularly use social media platforms - and can therefore in principle be reached by you via social media advertising. But the multitude of channels is both a curse and a blessing. For example, the right channels for the individual objective (e.g., recruiting, branding, or new customer acquisition) must first be identified.  What's more, a potentially immense reach is offset by very specific requirements for creative content, depending on the platform. Different rules apply on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat and the like. Not only in terms of advertising formats, which range from feed-based text ads to video ads and full-screen ads. But also when it comes to the creative direction of your campaigns. To achieve the desired reach, social media advertising must be tailored to both the target audience and the platform used.

Custom-fit content pays off twice

Social Media Advertisement

Good to know: Paid social media ads that integrate seamlessly into the platform environment are perceived as a natural part of the user experience - and are met with a high response. However, appropriately designed campaigns not only attract the attention of users, but are also rewarded by the platforms themselves. The latter have a high interest in retaining their users through good content. High-quality campaigns therefore attract lower prices and better results.

Here's how working with our paid social experts works

Which social media channels does your target group feel at home, and which platforms do they ignore? How should content be designed to be effective on the selected channel? Which advertising media do I use to reach potential customers at the right stage of the customer journey? What are my performance goals? And how can the performance of social media advertising be measured? We work with you to develop a paid social strategy - from planning and implementation to optimization.

FAQ

The success of a paid social campaign cannot be pressed into templates. Which platform promises the greatest success for your company depends on many factors. Brand, industry, and specific services or products influence the selection of the advertising platform and type of medium just as much as the requirements of your target group and the objective of the respective campaign (branding, lead generation, sales, etc.).

The costs of a paid social campaign are also very individual and depend on a number of points. 

  • Reach & Time:The more people you want to reach within a short period of time, the higher the cost will be.

  • Industry: Some markets and industries are more competitive than others and thus require a greater investment of resources.

  • Channels: If your target audience is broad enough to play multiple channels, paid social activities can also go in different directions, which comes at a higher cost.

In the onboarding workshop, we work with you to calculate a sensible budget - taking into account origination costs, product portfolio and potential competitors.

Social media advertising is contrasted with the organic use of social media. However, the two are inextricably intertwined. The free content you share with your target audience shapes your digital brand and strengthens customer relationships.

You continue to engage with followers reached via Paid Social Media through Organic Social Media - even in the final stages of the buying process. It is therefore essential to speak with one voice on organic and paid social media to avoid dissonance and strengthen customer loyalty. A paid social strategy developed by our experts automatically shapes your organic social media presence.  

No. Sometimes it is precisely on channels where the target group tends to form a niche that unexpected effects can be achieved. The TikTok campaign of a cement manufacturer, which succeeded in winning a six-figure order here, is already legendary. The fact that the 30 to 55 age group is the fastest growing age group on TikTok probably played into the company's hands.

We will discuss whether a niche strategy is also suitable for your company during the onboarding workshop.
