Social media is always changing, with new features and updates regularly introduced. By understanding and utilising the right tools, you can optimise your campaigns and achieve remarkable results.  

Let’s break it down by platform and explore some of the exciting opportunities that advertisers can leverage.

Instagram and META

Great tools for advertisers and shoppers

Instagram’s promo code ads are a fantastic way for advertisers to track sales more effectively, supporting better campaign measurement and optimisation. Plus, the convenience of in-app discounts is a strong incentive for purchases, making it easier to drive conversions.

Boosting engagement with frame-specific commenting

Instagram lets users comment on specific frames within a carousel post. This is a great tool as it encourages more focused discussions around individual product features or key points within a campaign video.

It supports richer user engagement, allowing brands to delve deeper into product features and potentially address user questions directly within the comments section.

Flexible advertising with Meta Advantage+ Shopping Ads

Meta’s Advantage+ Shopping Ads offer more creative freedom. Features like automatic video ad optimisation and the incorporation of branded videos can lead to more visually compelling and engaging ad experiences. These tools help create shopping ads that resonate better with target audiences, boosting click-through rates and ultimately driving more sales.

LinkedIn

Enhancing business communication

The LinkedIn company page messaging feature empowers businesses to engage directly with leads and customers. This helps businesses build stronger connections with their target audience, promoting brand loyalty and potentially leading to a more robust sales pipeline.

Collaborative articles for thought-leadership

LinkedIn’s collaborative articles feature is perfect for businesses looking to showcase their expertise. By co-creating content with influencers or partners, you can reach a wider audience and establish yourself as thought leaders in your field. Investing in collaborative articles can help build brand awareness, establish credibility, and attract high-quality leads.

Reddit

Creating impactful ads

Reddit’s ad creation tools—including AI copywriting suggestions and free form ads—streamline the ad creation process. These features create more effective and impactful Reddit ad campaigns, potentially reaching a highly engaged and niche audience with laser focus.

Engaging with relevant conversations

Reddit also has a tool that helps businesses identify relevant conversations and topics, allowing them to engage with users who are already interested in their products or services. Participating in relevant conversations on Reddit can build trust and allow you to connect with potential customers on a deeper level—championing brand advocacy and driving organic growth.

Pinterest prioritises user wellbeing

Pinterest’s focus on user wellbeing might impact short-term engagement metrics, but it aims to cultivate a more positive and engaged user base in the long run. This shift benefits advertisers by creating a more receptive audience for their content. By focusing on user-centric content, you can create informative and engaging Pinterest content that resonates with users.

BeReal’s challenges

BeReal’s struggles serve as a reminder of the highly competitive nature of the social media space. It highlights the importance of constant innovation and adaptation for platforms to maintain user engagement.

Advertisers should be aware of these dynamics and ensure their social media strategies are adaptable and responsive to changing user preferences and platform trends.
