Transcript
This is going to be focusing
on how you get engagement.
2
:It's a little bit of a redundant process
and it starts to get too expensive, which
3
:is why some people then come back and
say, Facebook ads don't work for my brand.
4
:Hello, YouTube land.
5
:And here we are again in
our ongoing series of.
6
:The Clavio Facebook Google
hybrid customized flash system.
7
:So I think we've done three now.
8
:So this one done an
overview of the system.
9
:We've looked at quick
overview of the Facebook.
10
:Strategy.
11
:We've done a bit ft view of the clavio.
12
:We've touched on the importance
of opt in forms with opt ins.
13
:Now, what we're going to talk about today
is we can do a bit more of a deep dive
14
:into the Facebook strategy and we're
going to talk about in particular, this is
15
:going to be broken up over a few videos.
16
:Dan, this is going to be focusing
on how you get engagement top
17
:of funnel and middle of funnel.
18
:How you build your audiences, the
importance of the audiences, and
19
:then we'll in subsequent videos, talk
about how you use those audiences.
20
:In the bottom of our campaign.
21
:So without further ado,
22
:Dan Nickis.
23
:As well, I said, what we do is
a little bit different to most.
24
:So if you listen to any guru,
they will tell you to go out
25
:and get purchase conversions.
26
:And that's good advice used to
work back in the day or years
27
:ago, five years ago or longer.
28
:but our users have become a lot more
savvy and look, to be honest, not
29
:everything's an impulse buy online.
30
:And there is a consideration phase
for a lot of people as to comparing
31
:against other similar products,
other brands, developing trust.
32
:maybe just being introduced to you
for the first time, and there's some
33
:thinking that has to go along with that.
34
:it's not a matter of just seeing
something that's a, you want it now, it's
35
:cheap enough, you're going to grab it.
36
:it's more a case of, I have a
problem, does this solve the problem?
37
:And you do a bit of a deep dive on
product features, warranties, payment
38
:options, competitors, reviews from
other people that have used the product.
39
:And.
40
:To think that we can just go from them
never knowing about us to getting a
41
:purchase conversion if they don't convert
and move on to the next prospect, it's
42
:a little bit of a redundant process and
it starts to get too expensive, which is
43
:why some people then come back and say,
Facebook ads don't work for that we've
44
:developed that we call the Matrix, I'm
going to show you what we do at the top of
45
:funnel, the traditional top of funnel, to
reach the cold traffic and how we approach
46
:them and what we approach them with.
47
:Yeah, this.
48
:Three reasons that we do this, or
three benefits to doing this way.
49
:The first is, it's going to
improve our Facebook ad performance
50
:or our meta ad performance.
51
:So Facebook and Instagram
further down the funnel.
52
:So we're creating these
touch points with people.
53
:Second is, it's going to create some
really good audiences and really good
54
:awareness around the brand for Google ads.
55
:So obviously people have a
different intent when they
56
:go looking for you on Google.
57
:They don't know to look for you
if they don't know who you are
58
:or if they've never heard of you.
59
:So this is another great way to introduce
the brand and it's third part is Klaviyo.
60
:So the email marketing side of things,
again, how do we get people on our list?
61
:How do we grow our leads?
62
:How do we then market to
them via email marketing?
63
:This is another way to introduce
them to our brand, get them onto
64
:our website potentially, get them to
become a lead, convert them that way.
65
:So it's not an all or nothing prospect
that if they don't make a purchase from
66
:us on this ad, that they're dead to us
and we need to move on to someone else.
67
:Or change the interest or find some
other hack to try and do it like cost
68
:cap with a target ROAS and an age
bracket of 25 to 27 in Milwaukee, like
69
:it's the algorithm smart enough now
that we don't need to be that granular.
70
:The hacks don't work.
71
:We need to be more strategic.
72
:So what I'll take you through,
I'm just going to share a
73
:screen if that's all right.
74
:And this is where we need to
start with all of our accounts.
75
:So just let me know when you can see that
and that it's Now some of you have been
76
:following along with the series will know
that this is our Facebook Econ Ads Matrix.
77
:It's called a matrix because it's
more of a flywheel or an omnipresence
78
:as opposed to a traditional funnel
that starts atop a funnel and pushes
79
:purchase or sales out the bottom.
80
:I still do name them top,
middle and funnel at different
81
:stages within the matrix.
82
:And the reason is just because it's
an way for people to understand
83
:and everything you can see on your
screen here is exactly the matrix.
84
:The area that I'm going to focus on
today is this top of funnel area here,
85
:and this is We're very low cost, even
in competitive markets, competitive
86
:industries, which is really low
CPMs, because what we're doing is
87
:we're building engagement with the
brand and make people solution aware.
88
:Now, this strategy was born out of
watching influencers go out and promote
89
:a brand under the guise of, I've just
got this, I've just started to use
90
:this and they get exceptional reach.
91
:so much.
92
:Like for a really good brand awareness,
they've already got inherent trust built
93
:into it and that could result in sales.
94
:So I thought, why not try and emulate
the influencer promotion model within
95
:our own brands and then use those
audiences to create And I'll talk
96
:you through that in a little bit.
97
:So what we do with this top funnel,
I'll take you through a scenario
98
:of a, ad account that we've got.
99
:Our objective is post engagement.
100
:Now engagement on Facebook and
Instagram is your traditional things
101
:like, comments, shares and likes.
102
:But it also includes things like link
clicks, watching videos, clicking on the
103
:little button to see more of your ad copy.
104
:So it's all the interactions with.
105
:The post and your page are going to
count as engagement on both Facebook
106
:and Instagram, and that's making people
solution aware that your product solves
107
:a problem that these people have.
108
:We go a very broad single
interest targeting.
109
:So the objective is post engagement.
110
:The audience is very broad.
111
:So as an example, I'm going to show
you, out of account from the health and
112
:wellness perspective, it's got products
that it's in the health industry.
113
:It solves people's problems.
114
:we go for a very broad health and
wellness based, interest just to
115
:guide it in the right direction.
116
:Our budget is set at an ad set level.
117
:Our call to action is shot now.
118
:So potential buyers at any stage can go to
the landing page for the product, although
119
:that's not the objective of this campaign.
120
:And It's not fake UGC.
121
:it's emulating the influence.
122
:So it's user generated content that
sometimes we get people to do for us
123
:through platforms such as social cat
or it's user generated content that
124
:we've got from customers in the past.
125
:We have that up to 10 ads running in
it and we turn it off for fatigue.
126
:So these are aspirational ads.
127
:They're not intrusive, but they're
different enough to be aware of the
128
:business and the solution is the unique
selling propositions that we have.
129
:We set it up as one campaign, one
ad set with up to 10 ads, depending
130
:on how much creative the brands got.
131
:The intention of these ads
is to create warm audiences.
132
:So to make people solution aware, those
warm audiences feeding to this next
133
:stage, which I'm not going to take
you through the setup of it, but just
134
:to give you an idea, we have engages
from Instagram in the last 30 days.
135
:People engaged on Facebook
in the last 30 days.
136
:People that have viewed more than half
of the videos in the last 30 days in
137
:terms of half of the time of the video.
138
:Yep.
139
:Website visitors in the last 30 days
and people that have subscribed but
140
:not purchased in the last 30 days.
141
:And we exclude purchases
from the last 30 days.
142
:So this top of funnel campaign
feeds these audiences here.
143
:So when we get to the middle of funnel,
which is the next step here in this
144
:matrix, The next component in the matrix.
145
:The people are aware of us being the
solution because they've engaged with us.
146
:They know us from this part and I'll
just, should I go straight into an ad
147
:account now and just have them, when
you're just looking at those audiences,
148
:you've got what, five or six there.
149
:So you create Like a custom
audience and add them all in?
150
:No, I don't create one audience.
151
:I do.
152
:You can create a saved audience,
but you have to create them as
153
:five separate custom audiences.
154
:Gotcha.
155
:and those audiences will continue to
use at different stages of the matrix.
156
:And these, these are
really powerful audiences.
157
:And when you say the results we get
for how cheap we get, you can see how
158
:these audiences can grow really rapidly.
159
:the point where we need to start.
160
:So some brands we might come in and
they've been running Facebook ads
161
:and they've got a very established
brand for quite a number of years.
162
:This part will, we will launch, but
it'll be at a lower budget because
163
:we just want to keep feeding these
audiences here at this level.
164
:New brands, we have to start here
and the percentage of budget focused
165
:here will be greater because we
need to build these audiences up
166
:for the rest of the matrix to work.
167
:And over time.
168
:This will become, it usually sits at
about 10 percent of the overall audience.
169
:10 percent of the overall budget
is enough to fuel it and fresh.
170
:Initially, it will be higher though.
171
:we'll jump into an ad account.
172
:Let me know, do you need that any bigger?
173
:this is an account that's
live from last month.
174
:So 1st of March when we're shooting
this, we've got 1st till the 29th of Feb.
175
:So very current data.
176
:We're not relying on old data here.
177
:This is real.
178
:You're not cherry picking.
179
:Yep.
180
:This is recent data.
181
:Yep.
182
:I've just gone last month and I've
just got the active campaigns here.
183
:exact systems here.
184
:We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 there.
185
:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
186
:We've got 7 there because
we're testing out another.
187
:Yep.
188
:scale one at the top of funnel here.
189
:the top of funnel that
we're talking about here.
190
:This is about where we're
trying to create engagement.
191
:And this is what I mean
by being really checked.
192
:We're in the health niche or the
health sector in an auction based
193
:environment where there's plenty
of competition for that space.
194
:And it's, we're getting charged at 3.
195
:17.
196
:CPM.
197
:So that's 3.
198
:17 per thousand impressions.
199
:And keep in mind, this
is Australian dollars.
200
:it's about two U.
201
:S.
202
:dollars for the CPM.
203
:So just compare that to other
components that you have, and you
204
:can see why we then push into these.
205
:So I'll just open this up and
I'll show you the settings on it.
206
:So we're opting for engagement,
which is what we're talking about.
207
:We're trying to make people solution aware
and get them to engage with the audience.
208
:Now, ignore the fact that
there's two ad sets in here.
209
:This is because this.
210
:Brand has NZ website.
211
:So Australian New We're just going
to focus on the Australian one for
212
:now, So the naming convention, we're
looking at everyday health, Australia,
213
:MF is male, female, 18 to 65%.
214
:Really broad audience.
215
:We're going with 25 a day budget on it,
216
:down here, interests, everyday health.
217
:We let the algorithm decide where
it's going to be placed, where
218
:people are going to be sitting.
219
:Where we can get the most engagement from.
220
:We have a look at the metrics
here for the last month.
221
:We spent 500.
222
:We are having issues with their
content views in the Advocates
223
:on this with their pixels.
224
:So if we just switch
over to engagement here,
225
:and this is what we need to see.
226
:we're optimizing for engagement.
227
:So for 500 in the last month, we've
had nearly 90, 000 page engagements.
228
:So that's And what equate
in an audience size?
229
:There's going to be some that are
going to be in there for multiple.
230
:So yeah, look at frequency.
231
:So I've got a frequency of 2.
232
:6.
233
:Okay.
234
:So you divide 90, 000 by 2.
235
:6 a bit over 30, 000 in that audience
of people, unique users of people that
236
:are actually engaged with the content.
237
:500, if we look at it from
traditional marketing, If 500 could
238
:get 30, 000 people engaged with
your audience, it's pretty good.
239
:isn't just people who have seen it, this
is people who have been engaged with it.
240
:comment, share, watch the videos,
clicked on a link, clicked on
241
:see more, whatever it might be.
242
:Just on that videos too, you
did stipulate that you're
243
:looking at 50 percent view rate.
244
:what's roughly the video length
size that you like to have in
245
:there for your type of funnel?
246
:At a minimum of 30 seconds.
247
:Yep.
248
:Because Anything shorter, you can
watch to decide whether it's something
249
:that you like and still make a
decision that, hey, this isn't for me.
250
:That's that 10 second video.
251
:You could watch more than half
of that before you go, oh, this
252
:isn't what I'm looking for.
253
:I'm not interested in this.
254
:If you've got a minimum of 30 seconds is
your video length and you're looking for
255
:people that have watched more than half.
256
:If you've watched more than 15
seconds of a video, you have
257
:some level of interest in that.
258
:You don't usually
accidentally watch 15 seconds.
259
:ideally, I do like 'em
to be closer to a minute.
260
:keeping 'em under a minute, like up
in those 52nd range enables us to
261
:be able to have extra placements.
262
:On the network as well that aren't
limited because the placements aren't
263
:limited because they're not going
over because they are under a minute.
264
:And if you watch 50 percent
of a nearly minute video,
265
:that intent is a lot higher.
266
:We can have a look at that
while we're in here, video
267
:engagement, Video plays to 95, 50.
268
:If video plays 50%, 85, 000.
269
:So that makes up the
bulk of that engagement.
270
:That was going to be my next question.
271
:As far as the ratio goes, video views
at that 50 percent is pretty high.
272
:Which is why we use videos
at this stage of the funnel.
273
:Cheap CPMs of 3 videos do a great job of
explaining how this brand's product is
274
:the solution that they're looking for.
275
:So you can see how effectively
it works because they're watching
276
:more than 30 seconds of a video.
277
:It's been seen 85, nearly 86, 000
times, and there's a frequency,
278
:so people have seen them more
than once, which is not a problem.
279
:No different to traditional commercials
that we used to see on TV all the time.
280
:We would see the same commercials over
and over again, and they would into our
281
:mind, like they'd be embedded there.
282
:Some commercials I still
remember from when I was a kid.
283
:But I digress.
284
:We're old.
285
:so then we moved to the ad level and
I let the algorithm decide where it's
286
:going to place our So these ads in here.
287
:The majority of it has gone to this
ad product features, benefits.
288
:the algorithms.
289
:Push more towards it.
290
:if you don't filter your
water, you become the filter.
291
:We talk about how this
product solves the problem.
292
:The video highlights what the product does
in a user generated sort of influencer
293
:style way with some catchy music.
294
:Some overlays on it and
it's as simple as that.
295
:And you can see a little
bit of engagement here.
296
:We put 2000 reviews.
297
:Lovely tap order again.
298
:We have a look here The long form one.
299
:This one is a review style We try
some different once you've tried it.
300
:We're internationally recognized 100
percent money back guaranteed make
301
:switch today The reviews that are
in there and this one's a much more
302
:educational style video And then
we have another one here where an
303
:ambassador is actually using the product.
304
:Love you Tapwater and you.
305
:So every time someone becomes engaged
in here with this type of funnel, they
306
:get fed into the middle of the funnel.
307
:Audiences.
308
:Not going to go through that today, but
at middle of funnel, then what we want
309
:to do is want to get all those people
that are engaged and we want to put
310
:ads in front of them for brand recall.
311
:That's a fairly good
overview of where you start.
312
:just touching on your
exclusion of 30 day purchases.
313
:Is there any reason why you don't go
purchases all time as an exclusion list?
314
:it depends on the brand.
315
:Yep.
316
:But this brand, it's water filters
and they have, a lot of products
317
:that are complimentary and they've
also got, filters that need to
318
:be changed over periodically.
319
:we don't want to hit them with, more
messaging within that 30 days we want
320
:to, but we do want to hit them post that
because of the complimentary products.
321
:By then they would have
received their first purchase.
322
:The quality is good.
323
:like the product.
324
:They're going to consider getting
complementary products because we've
325
:already obtained that trust from them.
326
:So we're going to put them through
that funnel again or that matrix again.
327
:And that's how it all works.
328
:And when we spit out the other end,
we see ROAS overall of four with CPMs
329
:of 97 Australian, which is about 7.
330
:it's a bit less than that.
331
:It's about six, five, 56,
something around there.
332
:I'm trying to make is that
it works exceptionally well.
333
:Yeah.
334
:We're controlling the messaging
that we're giving to the people here.
335
:It's not the same messaging
in middle of funnel.
336
:That is the top of funnel or is
it the same messaging at scale?
337
:Because people are through that process.
338
:They've got to go through these steps.
339
:We want them to put them through
and that's pretty much it in
340
:terms of how we get top of funnel.
341
:You can see from that how that
will, drive search intent on Google.
342
:Yeah.
343
:Yep.
344
:Or if they alternatively, if they land
on the website, how that will build
345
:audiences within Google, because the
people hitting the website, they hit that.
346
:It's not just exclusively because they
came from better only better rules.
347
:Pick them up.
348
:Google will pick them up.
349
:especially with that
search intent, it's crazy.
350
:Usually.
351
:your branded searches performed
exceptionally well on Google,
352
:but if they don't know about
you, they don't know about you.
353
:for CPMs of 3 Australian,
we're doing that.
354
:Effective.
355
:we're hit, you're engaged with over 30,
000 people for that cost of the month.
356
:and again, every time
they hit the website.
357
:there's an option for a sign up
form for Klaviyo scripts firing and
358
:they'll get to our automated flows or
they'll receive our campaign material.
359
:Very cool.
360
:It is very cool.
361
:that's good, mate.
362
:that's, gives everyone a fairly good
understanding of how you're doing
363
:your targeting, the audience building
that you're creating, so you can start
364
:doing, using those audiences in your
middle of funnel and bottom of funnel.
365
:if you do want an audit from Dan
in Solutions 8, reach out to us.
366
:this is a system that we're using
exclusively with Dan and using
367
:our Google Ads expertise as well.
368
:to be able to see how the Google ads, the
Meta ads and Klaviyo work in conjunction
369
:and the results we achieved from that.
370
:Yeah, I think that is probably
the true testament to the system.
371
:we've never judged performance of the
entire system based purely on Facebook.
372
:Whilst these results look good,
if Google was failing, then
373
:we'd need to figure out why.
374
:Klaviyo was failing.
375
:failing, we'd need to figure out why
there, but when we can get all straight
376
:firing at the same time, which is
the whole concept here, then you just
377
:have this fantastic system that brings
consistency to businesses, which I
378
:think is the key instead of feast
or famine based on whether Meta ads
379
:are running well at the time, or if
Google's playing nicely at the time, or
380
:if people are responding to the emails
because we've got this entire system.
381
:We just tend to see compounding
growth and consistency.
382
:Consistency.
383
:That's, and that's what you want.
384
:You want consistent performance.
385
:Yeah.
386
:Especially, I'm a brand owner myself.
387
:Consistent performance
is what we crave for.
388
:I would rather that
than, peaks and troughs.
389
:good stuff.
390
:thanks again for your time.
391
:Thanks for the chat.
392
:No worries at all.
393
:See you next in the next bat
time and the next bat channel.
394
:Yes.
395
:before that happens.
396
:Alright, goodbye.
397
:See ya.
398
:Bye.
