Steps for creating Facebook Sales Funnel

Step 1- Create Varied Content

To begin, you need to have a few different forms of content at your disposal.

You have to come up with different forms of content for warming your cold audiences. This may include a blog, eBook, video, slideshow or anything else.

You shouldn’t bother about the path when you’re keeping high quality, ample engagement and relevancy to your product you’re advertising.

Ensure such content is on your website as this will help you later on while retargeting leads and work them further down your funnel.

Multiple forms of content help you in satisfying your varied range of consumers. Remember, a one-size-fits-all approach would not work here as many of the consumers would be cold and won’t show much interest in buying and some may be enough warm and immediately ready to buy your product.

So, bringing different kinds of engaging content will make sure that you’ve got something for all of the valued consumers.

And once, you’ve got their attention towards your content, they’re in your funnel.

Step 2 – Make Content to Catch Your “Warm Audience”

In the next step, focus on promoting content to “Warm Audience” of yours. By, warm audience, it means those users or customers who have already been exposed to your brand and shown some level of interest.

Warm audience may be existing Facebook fans, followers as well as website retargeting list.

Now, you’ve to keep eyes on engagement levels of your posts and find which content has been most visited by your warm audiences. This can be video, blog or anything else.

Analyzing your data will help you in taking your cold audience in the funnel as well.

Step 3 – Target “Lookalike Audiences”

Create and target Facebook “lookalike audiences”. These are the customers “who look similar to your existing customers or Facebook fans”.

What is noticeable with them is that they similar interests and behaviors like your current audience. Lookalike audience can help you in boosting your sales outreach in one time as you’ll target two different sections of consumers at the same time.

So, who could be your “lookalike audience”?

You can pick any demographic of your cold audience which has not been targeted yet.

So, go for targeting them.

For creating “Lookalike Audience”, go to Audiences of Facebook ads. Then click on “Create a Lookalike Audience.”

See the next page-

Now, what you’ve to do here, choose your source that “can be a Custom Audience rather than created with pixel data, data partner or any other resources”.

Whatever fits the most?

Now, here you’ve to choose the location and audience size ranging anywhere from 1 to 10 percent of the total population of the country.

Remember, the smaller is your audience size percentage, more probability of the lookalike audience to match your current audience.

Now, click on “Create Audience”.

Step 4 – Show Your Best Performing Content

Now it’s turn to promote your best content, so what does it mean? It means the content which has got most engagement now needs to be distributed to your cold audience.

Again that content can be anything like blog post or webinar. Thus, you’ll able to transfer your cold audience in your Facebook sales funnel and turning them into warm ones.

They’ll be now aware of your brand and would show some interest in making a purchase.

Till this step where your audiences have gone through your content, products, services, and everything promoted, but never went to the final checkout page.

Now, what to do for the hard sell, create a personalized video ad saying that “Thanks for watching our video, but for some reason, you didn’t make a final purchase of product or service”.

Now offer them a sales message stating them a reason to purchase.

At this point, all of your leads should be familiar with your brand and warmed up about as much as they’re going to be.

Till here, all of your audiences have gone familiar with your products.

They’re now ready to buy.
