Facebook ads

[stuartm1962]

Good afternoon all.

Is there anyone that you would recommend on here to do an image for a Facebook advert?

I can provide the wording, just need an eye catching image, or ideally 2, for A/B testing.

Hi Stuart

Have you tried Canva? It's free and it has several image templates.

Hi Stuart,

what's your budget & timescale?

Hi @stuartm1962! What are you trying to achieve with your Facebook ad?

If this is your first ad, you can try this on your own and see what results you get back from it.

Or if you have done ads in the past, you can also check on the creatives to see what worked best, but it helps if you have done A/B testing in the same campaign.

You can test with many different creatives, headlines, and descriptions. Even more than 2 images if you're starting from scratch.

It will be a new campaign and would rather use 2 professional images for A/B testing, than trying to create one with Canva.

Hi Stuart,

Hi Paul, need it within 7 days ideally, was hoping around £100 for 2 images.

Not really my skill set, so would rather leave it to the experts!

If you are looking for a simple design or just using images, I think it's possible to get it done yourself, although I can see the benefit of asking a creative professional during the testing phase. I would personally recommend more than 2 images so you are strengthening your A/B testing to just two images.

Was going to use 2 images and 2 sets of text, so 4 variations. Run each for 3 days and then run the best performing one for a few weeks/months.

For you or for someone else?
Facebook ads are not for everyone.

I'd start with at least three set of creatives. Make sure that you three different formats for feed, story, and in-page. Have different sets of text as you said with different headlines and descriptions. I'd keep it on for at least 7 days so you can have more data available. Make sure you have the basic pixel enabled, although it doesn't track all actions.

If you are a service, messaging ads tend to work best on Facebook. This is something you could explore now or in the future. But something to be mindful of.

Great! You have the option of messaging in Facebook or going to your website. If you don't have advanced tracking implemented, I'd advise sticking with Facebook's system for the meantime. Plus users typically like to stay on the platform as much as possible.

Have you had a look at www.unsplash.com - it is free and there are lots of images?
