Building a Paid Social Advertising Campaign
The first step in building any successful advertising campaign is planning. Without a good plan and a clear direction your social media campaign could struggle. Find out more in our blog How to Plan a Paid Social Campaign.
The campaign building process will differ depending on which social media platform(s) you choose to advertise on. But the basics will remain the same – you’ll need to know your campaign goal or objective, who your target audience is, a daily or monthly budget and have some assets (images, videos, text) ready to go.
You may also be able to set up a schedule – this could be a start and end date for your ads. This is particularly helpful if you’re doing some testing or running a limited time offer. Take some time to think about what you want to achieve and remember that results can take time. It could take days, weeks or months to see results.
