Industrial
Advertising

With almost the entire globe using at least one of the top three social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), industrial advertising is a viable and quantifiable marketing resource for industrial and manufacturing companies.

We have researched, tested, and pushed the limits of industrial advertising to know exactly what works and what doesn’t with these powerful advertising channels. Before we offer any strategy to our clients, we conduct a comprehensive analysis so our recommendations result in a valuable return on investment for our clients.

LinkedIn

An expensive B2B advertising platform but the most targeted with specific criteria based on the profile or current employers. Sponsored posts ($5-$15 CPC) and Sponsored InMail ($0.7-$1.25 CPS) are the most effective tactics to use.

Facebook

Most cost-effective for job opportunities or highlighting your company culture allows your employees to brag about their job.

Google Adwords

We break Google AdWords into 2 categories; Search and Remarketing. With search, our PPC campaigns are very targeted and we have a heavy focus on strategic quality, not quantity. A remarketing campaign is great for B2B brand awareness or to get users back into your sales funnel.

YouTube

Build out your channel for brand awareness and hosting content to be used everywhere else. Keeping SEO in mind, Google is positioning videos over static organic content. YouTube pre-roll video advertising is great targeting for search history, view history, and channel targeting and is very cost-effective per impression. The first 5 seconds are free.

  • LinkedIn Advertising: LinkedIn offers several advertising options, but we’ve identified the two that provide the best return on investment for our industrial and manufacturing industry clients.
  • Facebook Advertising: With the wide range of Facebook Advertising options, everything is customized around the client and there is no specific tactic to use. It depends on how much attention your target demographic give to Facebook, there are some services that aren’t a fit and won’t have a fast enough ROI.
  • Instagram Advertising: Instagram has gained more popularity since 2017 and continues to be an underpriced platform for attention. The key to making your campaigns work is to focus heavily on the creative style and advertising placement location.
  • Improper Setup: 95% of the time your PPC campaigns ARE NOT set up correctly and your Ads aren’t showing up to the right people. Focus on the quality of traffic, not the quantity. Instead of spending your entire monthly budget, try and spend the least amount of money to get 1-2 solid high-quality leads then increase your spending.
  • Audit Results: You do not know the intent of the person searching. It could be a competitor, researcher, spammer, student, or a potential lead. Audit your traffic on a daily/weekly basis to reduce the total percentage of nonrelevant lead traffic, however, you can never stop it… just increased the efficiency.
  • Monitor Bound: Bounce rate: The fastest way to determine the overall effectiveness of a campaign. Most often we audit campaigns that are an 85% bounce rate and above, good campaigns should be under 70% worst case.

Social Media
Advertising

Regardless of social media platforms, the biggest mistakes are creating content that doesn’t relate to their products, and not creating a specific landing page for the traffic that comes from advertising.

Spend the upfront time setting up the strategy and the resources to make your social advertising campaigns successful, don’t just reuse something that ‘kind of worked’ previously.

Narrow Your Target

Your target demographic (audience) needs to be as specific as possible, on Facebook focus on behaviors or upload a custom audience list.

On LinkedIn, use all of the filtering fields to yield the most effective results (title, job function, industry, groups, seniority).

Landing Page is Key

Your campaigns should direct your audience to an internal landing page with a targeted, specific call to action. The look and feel of the landing page should match the ad graphic and copy.

Don’t let all the time and money you’ve spent on advertising go to waste – corresponding landing pages are the best way to minimize your bounce rate and maximize your ROI.

Content Relevancy Matters

Generic content or graphics won’t produce results. Develop highly specific content and graphics and run micro-campaigns to a very niche audience.

Your ad graphic and the copy must catch your audience’s attention, but it also must be relevant to their needs.
