After countless hours creating, testing and analysing data from Facebook Ad campaigns, I’ve discovered a gem of a strategy that performs exceptionally well.
And now I think it's time to share it with you!
Believe it or not, the magic lies in using text within your ad creative.
I know..I know! This breaks the common rule! But sometimes, rules are meant to be broken.
Just as you’re engaged reading this post right now (hopefully - thank you), incorporating text in your ad creatives, results in impressive performance boosts.
The Power of Text Overlays
But hold on; it’s not just any text we’re on about here – we need jaw-dropping attention grabbing textual overlay!
Whether it’s bold statements or punchy propositions like “Here’s what I’d do if I had to start over”, this strategy is about making your audience stop mid-scroll and pay attention to what you’re saying.
Harness Positivity
But wait… there’s more!
Have you ever noticed how seeing happy people in ads makes you feel? Well, their attractive smiles aren’t just for show. It turns out they are powerful tools to hook people into your ads.
So take note: always aim to include happy people within your creatives whenever possible.
Why? Because we humans are social creatures who respond positively to seeing other joyous humans — it’s simply how our brains work!
Layout Matters
Now let’s talk about layout before we wrap things up.
Consider how our brains naturally read - top to bottom and left to right.
You want users’ eyes drawn first to salient elements like a happy person image for example, then landing on the brand logo, and finally resting on the enticing value proposition text.
In short, align your visuals with directional reading flow; it undoubtedly leads to more effective communication of your message.
Oh! And don’t shy away from using bright colours either. You know why? They act as neon signs in a dark alley breaking through the monotonous scroll of one’s newsfeed and voila! You’ve grabbed their attention again.
TL;DR:
Use attention-grabbing textual overlays
Feature happy people
Align images with natural reading flow
Brightly coloured images are a win
