What is it?
These are not just videos you post on social media. A common mistake is taking a video you produced for something else and simply putting it on social. Social Video Ads are videos tailored to each social platform and supported with paid placements in order to deliver very specific results.
Who is it for?
Brands or nonprofits who have a particular target audience they need to reach as well as clearly defined goals. Social Video Ads are also a good fit if you need to measure ROI and track effectiveness.
Top 3 uses for social video ads
1. HYPER FOCUSED (RE)TARGETING
Even if your target customer is a needle in a stack of needles, Social Video Ads can reach them with pinpoint accuracy. This, combined with retargeting, is a powerful combo.
2. TESTING AND INSIGHTS
Why waste dollars on outdated market research when you can get real-life reactions in less time for less money? When you stop thinking about them as ads and start thinking about them as a valuable source of insights, you can’t afford to not be running Social Media Ads.
3. CLICKS AND CONVERSIONS
Social Media Ads are are a great way to get very surgical about the actions you want prospects to take. In 6–15 seconds you can get shoppers, supporters, or sales leads clicking through to conversion.
