Case study
The A10 Marketing Framework
► This is one of the most common formats and allows your social media audience to click on your ad and land on any page of your website
► Appearing as large clickable images in social feeds, website traffic ads can be used to reach highly relevant new (or existing) customers
► Benefits of this technique:
► Drive large volumes of relevant users to your site often with a lower cost per click (CPC) than paid search (Google Ads)
► Feeds your sales funnel by increasing traffic to specific content or products on your site
► Can be used with cross-channel remarketing
► If you have set-up a tracking pixel and conversion point (based on the thank you page) you can optimise for conversions in many platforms
► Recommend £500+ ad spend – depending on platform, CPC and amount of traffic wanted
In-feed image ads for website clicks or conversion
► With Lead Generation adverts, potential customers can submit their information without having to leave the platform
► After completing the form, users can opt to click through to your site
► Advertisers can collect data about users (including customisedfields)
► Sometimes advertisers pay on a CPC or when their ads are seen (CPM) but conversion rates are usually high and cost per lead can be low (CPA of £5-50 - depends on platform and audience size)
