When you think of advertising, you probably think of TV commercials, billboards, and magazine ads. But now that social media has taken off; it’s a great way to reach new customers.
Facebook has become an essential tool for reaching new parents. With over 1 billion active users, Facebook is one of the biggest channels to market baby products to new parents.
Here are 6 strategies to reach new parents with Facebook advertising for baby products, that you should consider:
Target Parents
The number of newborn babies and children’s goods businesses is on the rise. With each passing year, expect a wave of new competitors to enter the market. It is critical to know who to target with your ads when marketing newborn products.
Facebook’s “parents” category may be a great way to target your marketing efforts.
- Demographics > Parents > Parents (all)
Targeting parents with children of certain ages:
- Demographics > Parents > All Parents > (pick an age)
Targeting parents based on topics, interests, and brands:
- General parenting topics (ex., Preschool, diapers, baby bottles, baby formula, kid’s toys, strollers, etc.)
Target Interests (general terms, competitors, accessories)
If you’re marketing a baby product, there’s a good chance it will appeal to new parents. And since you probably don’t want to target everyone who might be interested in this niche (since it’s so broad), it’s better to use interest targeting instead.
For example, if you’re selling a baby stroller or crib, you can target parents by way of keywords like “strollers for babies” or “cribs for babies” and then exclude people who don’t have children yet but may be interested in buying one day (i.e., exclude keywords like “strollers for toddlers”)
SEO Optimized Ad Copy
A compelling ad text explains what makes your product different from others on the market and emphasizes its main selling points.
Ad copy is essential for a Facebook ad, it can make or break a deal for you. Whatever you put in your ads affects whether people are interested enough to buy from you.
SEO-optimized ad text is more complex than a usual copy because it includes backlinks, internal links, references, and keywords.
You should always write your ad content with your target audience in mind. Consider what a parent would want to see in this scenario and then make sure the copy resonates on that level.
Divide Your Advertising Budget Among Different Target Audiences
On a limited budget, it is necessary to divide the funds among various audiences so that you can determine which one works best for your company and focus on it.
Throughout your campaign, you can increase or decrease the amount spent on different audiences if that audience gives you more profitable results.
This strategy will help you increase your sales if you’re on a budget.
Think Like a Parent
Understanding parents’ motivations and targeting them with the right brands is vital. To accomplish this, you need to understand what motivates a parent to purchase products or brands and identify what Facebook targets are most relevant.
What is your ideal customer’s favorite thing?
What other brands make products for your baby that are just as convenient?
Does the fact that they’re shopping for Baby products indicate concern about their babies’ health, awareness of environmental issues, and sensitivity to societal problems?
Is there shopping motivated by the lowest prices?
Are there other brands that provide the same quality at a comparable price?
It’s important to know who your target customer is. But first, you need to learn about their lifestyle, buying habits—and why they buy the way they do. This will help you identify the perfect combination of interests for targeting customers on Facebook.
Split the Audiences Based on Niche
Your product will likely attract distinct niche audiences, making it easier for you to advertise on other projects based on your campaign reports.
Campaign reports give you a wealth of information about all aspects of your advertising, including where traffic and sales are coming from, who’s responding to different ads/creatives best (this can be used in designing more effective future campaigns), etc.
Using this knowledge, build new versions of your audiences for even better results. Continue to dig and get the most out of any campaign.
You should conduct this in a new campaign version as a brand-new test. This will allow you to compare different versions later on.
