Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create Campaign

First, you need to go to your Facebook ad account and create a new campaign. Choose the "brand awareness" option to focus your ads on increasing brand awareness. Click "Create" and scroll down to complete the next steps.

Step 2: Enter Campaign Information

Here you need to enter some basic information. Set the campaign name, such as "Brand Awareness Campaign." Then specify which ad group you want to use. This could be a specific target audience, for example, interested in sports.

Step 3: Define Target Audience

Now define the target audience for your ads. You can set various parameters such as age, gender, and interests. For example, if you have a sports brand, your target audience could be between 18 and 35 years old and interested in sports.

Step 4: Set Budget

Next, set your budget. This is important to determine how much you want to invest daily. You can decide whether to set a daily budget or a total budget for the entire campaign. An example could be a budget of 4 euros per day.

Step 5: Customize Ad Group

Now it's time to customize your ad group. Make sure the name of the ad group reflects the content you want to promote. Remember that the target audience description should be clear and precise.

Step 6: Define Target Audience and Placements

Set the location options. You often don't just want to target one country, but also neighboring countries. If it's important for your brand to be known in Austria and Switzerland as well, add these countries. Also, specify on which platforms your ads should be displayed - on Facebook, Instagram, or only on Facebook.

Step 7: Create Ad Content

Now comes the creative part. Click on the option to add media. Here you can choose an image or video that fits your brand. Make sure the image is appealing and clearly conveys the message of your ad.

Step 8: Add Text and Call-to-Action

Once your image or video is uploaded, add a concise text that appeals to viewers. Formulate clear calls to action and think about the message you want to convey. An example could be: "Fancy a vacation in Switzerland? Visit us for more information!"

Step 9: Add Website URL

If you have a website, you can also add it to allow users to immediately get more information about your brand. This could be a tourism website highlighting the beauties of Switzerland.

Step 10: Publish Campaign

Once all information has been entered and reviewed, you can publish your campaign. Click the "Publish" button. It's important to note that costs are usually low if you optimize for impressions, meaning getting as many eyes on your ad as possible without exceeding your budget.
