Types of Linkedin Ads and How to Use them
There are two types of Linkedin Ads recently launched, which you can use for the better growth and marketing of your company’s profile. These are:
1) Boosted Posts: Just like Facebook’s boost post feature, now brands can boost any post directly from their Linkedin Page to increase its organic reach. To boost a post, you have to create a campaign in an ad account associated with your Linkedin page.
This new ad type will allow users to boost their organic posts based on real-time performance. You can identify which posts are performing well and then convert them into a promoted post in just a few below-mentioned steps:
- To advertise or boost a post, click on the boost button above the post you’d like to promote.
- Now select your objective from options like website visits, post awareness, event awareness, post engagement, or video views.
- After selecting your objective, now choose your target audience based on your profile, audience interest, or Linkedin Audience template.
- Set your audience’s profile language, target locations, and other targeting areas to keep your ad more specified.
- Then set a daily budget and schedule the post.
2) Event Ads: Now, you can highlight important company events on Linkedin via Event ads and expect more people to register for it. These ads appear in the feed and highlight essential details related to events like date, time, how to register, etc. Also, if there is any of your mutual connection is interested in attending that particular event, that will also be shown in event ads.
To create event ads, follow these steps:
- Log into Linkedin Campaign Manager with your details, and it will show a Linkedin page associated with your ad account.
- You can only create event ads from the page if you are the super admin or content admin of the page.
- Now Click the Create campaign button in the top right of the page.
