Paid Social Advertising
Cutting through the noise on people’s social feeds can prove to be a challenge, but with the right approach, paid social is able to do that effectively- and for far less than you’d probably think! But where can you find the people you’re targeting, and which platforms are best for your purpose? This guide will help:
Your ads can appear in people’s feeds as either a promoted post or with specified calls to action, as well as within third party apps and news articles. Paid opens up more possibilities than are afforded you with organic posts- for example, within Instagram users are unable to post links with their images, however paid Instagram posts not only allow that but they are displayed as a CTA to the user.

What Can Be Achieved?
As paid social is still a relatively nascent form of advertising, there is significantly less competition than you could encounter on other platforms such as AdWords. By implementing a paid social strategy, you can get ahead of your competitors and in front of an audience they don’t even realise exists.
One of our clients has seen an average of around 40 conversions per month from just a £300 spend. Compared to their AdWords spend which would work out at just over double the spend for the same amount of conversions.
