Want more leads without simply spending more money on advertising?

Rather than focusing solely on getting more ads in front of people, businesses want to get the advertising traffic they already receive converted into qualified leads, contacted and closed as customers and have a system in place to nurture potential customers who aren’t ready to make a purchase yet.

We transformed the Meta Ads campaign into a full lead generation system for our client at Creatika Media Group and saw huge improvements in both quantity and acquisition cost of leads.

The results included:

• 1,619% increase in leads
• 460 leads generated
• Cost per lead reduced from $9.85 to just $2.58
• 900+ leads generated throughout the campaign period

Transform your Oakville advertising into a lead generation machine. We used this case study for a new lead generation campaign for a local business in Oakville and shows how the same Meta ads can be used for lead generation and improved return on investment (ROI).

The Challenge: More Leads Without Simply Increasing the Ad Budget

Most online advertising campaigns need more leads but the target for this increased spending is wrong: spending more money does not necessarily generate better leads.

Just because you have spent more money in advertising, does not necessarily mean you have generated more quality leads.

Rather, a business should evaluate their entire customer acquisition process, or where customers discover them, what messaging will trigger action, how they can most simply submit information to become a lead, and what happens after they have become a lead.

Where are potential customers discovering the business?

What messaging is encouraging them to take action?

How easy is it for them to submit their information?

What happens immediately after they become a lead?

How quickly are they contacted?

Are there processes in place to nurture your leads and move them along your customer journey as necessary?

These questions were central to our approach.

Turning Meta Ads Into a Lead Generation System

As opposed to treating Meta ads as an isolated campaign, at Creatika Media Group we approached them as part of a larger system.

The objective here was to develop a system which would tie the advertisements to the lead generation processes, CRM management and subsequent follow-ups and nurtures.

The above point is critical to developing a solid lead generation strategy in Oakville.

Generating a lead is only the beginning.

All prospecting techniques aim to generate leads. After a lead has been generated a complete lead-generation system also aims to move that prospect through the customer journey.

Improving the Campaign Strategy

First, re-examine the campaign strategy itself.

Instead of only pumping more money into the campaign, we enhanced the overall campaign and started optimizing it for better performance.

This breakdown includes a review of the Campaign Structure, Target Audience, Messaging, Creative, and the generation of Leads.

The rest of the campaign is waste if the strategy does not effectively map out interactions with potential customers.

Advertising can be very efficient when the advertising strategy is aligned with the target audience’s needs and your desired action.

Improving Creative and Messaging

This new campaign that we are launching, incorporates new creative, and improved messaging to better appeal to our target audience.

An ad has only a few seconds to grab someone’s attention.

The creative aims to stop the viewer’s finger on the screen and the messaging aims to guide the viewer to the next step to buy.

We refactored the messaging and the creative to better offer value to the defined target audience.

The campaign’s messaging and creative approach was also re-vamp’d to better communicate the value proposition of the offer to those who engage with the ad, to drive deeper engagement and a more direct path to lead for the target audience.

Building an Automated Follow-Up and Nurturing Process

Not every lead is ready to become a customer immediately.

Some prospects may require additional information to consider purchasing from your company. Others may need time to compare different products or services, discuss the option with a friend or family member, etc.

Generating the lead is only one part of the process.

We are able to continue the conversation with the prospect who is not ready to buy immediately and move him or her through the rest of the buying process.

You can continue the conversation with prospects not ready to make a purchase immediately.

These additional communications can be sufficient to move a late-in-the-buying-cycle prospect over the edge to make a purchase or vice versa.

The Results

The transformation produced impressive results.

The campaign achieved:

+1,619% lead growth

Significant increase in lead volume demonstrating the increased value of the campaign as opposed to simple ad spend increase.

460 leads generated

The campaign generated hundreds of new prospects using the newly optimized Meta lead-generation system.

Cost per lead reduced from $9.85 to $2.58

One of the biggest achievements of the campaign was the decrease in the average cost per lead.

By transforming the campaign’s strategy, creative, messaging and lead management process, the cost per lead (CPL) was dramatically reduced to $2.58 from $9.85.

900+ total leads generated

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lead generation in Oakville?

Lead Generation in Oakville refers to the process of attracting prospective customers within Oakville and surrounding areas with the goal of acquiring contact information from those prospects and/or encouraging them to complete another desired action. The strategies which are often utilized as part of Lead Generation in Oakville include Search Engine Optimization, Paid Advertising (such as Google Ads, Meta Ads), Social Media Marketing, the development of special web pages known as Landing Pages, Lead Generation Forms, and automation of contact information collected within CRM (customer relationship management) software and by means of follow-up via email.

How can Meta Ads help generate more leads?

Meta Ads allow you to target specific audiences on Facebook and Instagram. But Meta Ads by themselves are not a lead generation solution. You also need creative, message, and an Instant Form that converts. Once the lead is captured, CRM integration and automated follow-up can help to close the sale.

Do I need to spend more on advertising to generate more leads?

More exposure through your advertising dollars does not necessarily mean more leads. A more efficient strategy can yield many more leads, often with better cost per lead than you are experiencing now. We can assist you to optimize your targeting, creative, messaging, lead capture, CRM and follow-up processes to name a few areas for improvement.
