This great social media is a place where all kinds of inspirational projects are, it allows people to pin their interests in order to create boards or classify their favorites. Since it implicates tons of traffic there’s no wonder why
“77% of weekly Pinners have discovered a new brand or product on Pinterest”.
Pinterest has developed an Ads manager for businesses in which you can create and run Ads for custom audiences, the same ones that can be optimized thanks to the data that Pinterest gets from their users (interests, gender, demographic data among other criteria), therefore you can take advantage from this performant platform to generate more subscriptions, increase your conversions and reinforce the engagement with your brand.
But, getting the Click Through Rate (CTR) you expect is as hard as target the right audience; in most of the cases Facebook will provide you a huge audience. The reason of it lays on the idea to reach as many people as possible. Nevertheless, what companies really need is qualified leads in order to increase their CTR with relevant people that’ll become customers.
“ When B2B marketers run ads, their aim is not to just reach but to get the right people that will be able to make a decision when the opportunity to see your goods and services arrives.”
As you can see in the screenshot below, you’ll be in front of a large number of users which means the cost will be high in order to reach that amount of people. Another option can be to be more precise to define your audience but it that case the issue will be the time you’ll need to spend to do it and a lack of skills: you will need to be an expert.
Most of Ads campaigns created offer a good CPM but a really low CTR. In other words, afford or even manage such a big audience can easily become a strong pain for your brand and therefore your ads simply won’t be efficient as you expect. 🤦♂️
Indeed, create efficient ads is a complex task; One of the first and most important challenges is to define the right audience otherwise your campaign won’t succeed.
