Ad Creative

Your ad creative is the images that you’ll be using to sell your Viralstyle campaigns on Facebook.

Single image ads are the standard for Facebook advertising. They are easy to make, offer a clean format for you to promote your campaigns, and are one of the most effective ad formats. In one Facebook study, a series of photo-only ads outperformed other ad formats in driving unique traffic.

Viralstyle automatically generates an ad image for you when using your campaign URL.

Remember the design should be the focus of the ad so make sure it’s easy to see (especially on mobile devices).

Ad copy

The copy is the test above your ad that you’ll use to describe your product and get people to click. Here’s some quick tips.

• Include a call-to-action and tell your audience what you want them to do, i.e. “Share with friends!”, “tag a friend who would like this shirt”, “buy yours now”.
• You can ask a question to engage your audience, i.e. “Would your husband love this shirt?” “How many of you would be proud to wear this design?”
• Use short sentences that are easy to read; it’s best to stack them using the enter key so your ad copy is not one line of text (as shown in the examples below)
• Always make sure the listing URL is accessible (either by clicking on the ad image or a direct link)—use links with UTM variables for better tracking.
• Check out Facebook’s recommendations for creating engaging advertisements.
