How to define objective for Facebook Ads campaign?

The first step in constructing a personalized advertisement for your business is selecting an objective. This is the most important step that determines the success of the campaign. As the role of the business owner, you should base on the expectation of yourself when running the campaign to define the suitable goal. Moreover, this objective should also meet the current situation and plans (promotion, new product launch, customer reward, etc.) of the F&B store.

Store situation

  • Pre-store opening: before your store is official opening, you should focus on how to promote the brand awareness to the target customer. This will make your customer curious about your store and save your store in their favorite list to visit. Moreover, this objective will bring the fans and followers to your page. This is one of the most important outcomes to support grand opening activities of your store.

  • Store opening: if your store is recently grand opening, you should pick up the objective that can drive the traffic to your store. To turn out the best result, this objective should be implemented by the grand opening event with promotion program, live music, etc.

  • Low-season: how to maintain the traffic for your store, especially in the low season? If you are in this situation, the most urgent job to be done is about how to survive in the low season. There are 2 ways to overcome this:

    • Build and promote the customer reward program: this activity can keep your business the sustainable revenue from the loyal customers.
    • Run promotion programs or special event: this activity can be used as the conversion point to push the current followers of your fan page to visit your store.

  • Traffic expansion: to increase the traffic to your store, you should define and promote signature things to be outstanding in the market.

Store plan

  • Promotion: with promotion programs such as happy-hour, combo promotion, etc., you should promote them as the offer evaluated by the number of people saving the promotion details.
  • New product launch: if you add the new special product to the menu, you can consider the video ads solution which is the most efficient way to deliver signatures of the new product to the target audience.
  • Event: this is always the most exciting way to create the new experience for your customers. So that the number of people going to your event is the KPI for this kind of activity.
  • Customer reward app: to encourage target customers to install the reward app of your brand, you should combine with the promotion offer when installing the app. To evaluate the performance of this plan, the number of app installs is the suitable KPI.
  • Online order page: to motivate customers to try the online order page of your F&B brands, applying the promotion code on the first order will drive the traffic to your page.

Facebook Ads KPIs

Awareness

  • Brand awareness: reach people more likely to recall your ads and increase awareness for your F&B brand. This is the number of impressions your ads reach to the target audience.

  • Reach: show your ad to the maximum number of people in your target audience. This is the number of unique people your ads reach to. This KPI is evaluated the number of unique target audience seeing your ads while brand see awareness is evaluated the number of times showing your ads. So that 1 unique people - 1 reach see your ads in 2 times - 2 impression.

More likes will lead to more people seeing your status updates, hence resulting in higher engagement with your posts.

  • Event Responses: use this objective to promote your store event and get responses from target audiences: interested in or going.

  • Video views: promote videos that show behind-the-scenes footage, product launches or customer stories to raise awareness about your brand.

  • Conversion: get more people to use your website, Facebook app, or mobile app. To track and measure conversions, use the Facebook pixel or app events. This objective allows you to track how many people purchase your products after accessing your online ordering platform through the Ads.
