Make it visual\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>Visual content is not only treated more favorably by the Facebook algorithm, but it&#8217;s also more likely to be shared and remembered than written content.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what type of ad you create, your image needs to be visually appealing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Make it relevant\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83d\udd17<\/p>\n<p>Relevance is crucial for running successful Facebook ads.<\/p>\n<p>When someone views or clicks on your ad, you are spending money.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#8217;re showing ads that aren&#8217;t relevant to your target audience, you&#8217;re wasting time and money and you probably won\u2019t see success with any kind of advertising.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2015, Facebook introduced a feature in the Facebook advertising platform that rates your ads and gives you a relevance score, similar to Ad Rank with Google AdWords.<\/p>\n<p>The more relevant your ad image, ad copy, and destination page is to your audience, the higher your score is &#8211; and the more favorably Facebook will handle your ads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Have a compelling value proposition\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n<p>A value proposition tells the prospect why they should click on your ad to learn more about your service.<\/p>\n<p><em>How are your language programs different from any other?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Why should the prospect click on your ad to see your website?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Your value proposition needs to be believable.<\/p>\n<p>Saying you offer the best Spanish classes in the world will not make people come to your website, but maybe offering 10% off will.<\/p>\n<p>Or, perhaps having social proof will help &#8212; something like, &#8220;Join over 10,000 happy students and learn Spanish with us today. Book a class now and get 10% off with this coupon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Have a clear call-to-action\u00a0<\/strong>\ud83d\udce9<\/p>\n<p>An eye-catching and relevant ad is all well and good, but without a call-to-action (CTA), your prospect might not know what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a CTA like \u201cBook now and save X%,\u201d or \u201cLimited spaces!\u201d adds a sense of urgency to your potential customer. Your CTA should encourage people to click on your ad now.<\/p>\n<p><em>So, do Facebook Ads for language schools work?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Yes. Absolutely. Without a doubt.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n<p>If your campaigns have been getting you mediocre results, then it\u2019s time to go back to the drawing board and reassess your advertising strategy.<\/p>\n<p>From your objectives to who you\u2019re targeting to the approach you\u2019re using &#8211; you\u2019ll need to dig deeper into understanding your target customer\u2019s psychology.<\/p>\n<p>But as a rule of thumb:\u00a0<em>Keep. It. Simple. Stupid.\u00a0<\/em>\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n<p>Be consistent in your messaging and make it easy for people to convert.<\/p>\n<p>The longer the conversion process, the more likely people will drop off between Facebook and your landing page.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, remember to\u00a0<strong><em>be creative.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boredom kills conversions.\u00a0<em>And that\u2019s not the result you want.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/register.edu.eu\/blog\/subscribe\/\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on social media for more marketing tips!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Registeredueu-2242350989177161\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/registeredueu\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/14825259\">Linkedin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many language schools new to social media marketing doubt the power of Facebook Ads.
