The Five Biggest Mistakes in Facebook Advertising

July 27th, 2012

If you want to be successful at advertising on Facebook, avoid these five mistakes.

Mistake #1 – Being Boring 

Sometimes when companies get too caught up with all of the strict Facebook advertising rules, they end up creating boring advertisements. Don’t let the rules trip your Facebook advertising campaign. Know the rules and think of creative ways to engage your target audience. 

Mistake #2 – The Landing Page Is Confusing

You can have an advertisement written by a world-class copywriter but without a good landing page, you won’t have many conversions. Take some time to review your landing pages. Make sure it’s easy to understand and use.

Mistake #3 – Targeting the Wrong People

Facebook offers excellent advertising targeting options. However, if you don’t use them correctly, your advertisements aren’t going to be very effective. Understand your target audience’s interests, and you’ll be able to better target them. Running advertisements without any targeting is not a good idea.

Mistake #4 – The Advertisement Overpromises

This can cause your ad to get banned by Facebook. You want to avoid language such as “guaranteed” and “100%.” Be honest and straight forward in your ads. They will be more believable and Facebook won’t reject them.

Mistake #5 – Forget to Test Advertisements 

How can you improve your Facebook advertising campaigns if you don’t monitor and test them? Set up at least three to four advertisements in each campaign to see which pictures and headlines perform the best. This will help you achieve advertising success.
