Understanding Campaign Objectives for Medicare
Facebook offers 11 Campaign Objectives, each tailored to different business needs.
For Medicare insurance agents, the most effective objectives are Traffic and Lead Generation.
These objectives help drive potential clients to your website or capture their contact information directly through Facebook.
Choosing the Right Objective
For Medicare agents, Lead Generation campaigns are typically the most beneficial. They provide direct leads with names, phone numbers, and emails—essential information for follow-ups.
- Traffic Campaigns: These are designed to send users from Facebook to your website or landing page.
- Lead Generation Campaigns: These allow prospects to submit their contact information, anticipating a follow-up call.
Crafting Ad Sets and Target Audiences
Right Audience
Identifying and targeting the right audience is crucial. Here are some ideal target audiences for Medicare insurance ads:
- People turning 65 in the next three months: These individuals are about to become eligible for Medicare.
- People over 65: Particularly during Open Enrollment periods.
Detailed Targeting
Utilize Facebook’s detailed targeting to focus on users in specific locations where you’re licensed to sell. For example, you can target users within your county or within a 50-mile radius. This precision ensures your ads reach the most relevant audience.
Optimizing Ad Delivery
When setting up your campaign, it’s essential to manage your bidding strategy carefully. Start conservatively, especially if you’re new to Facebook advertising. Adjust your Cost Control settings to indicate what you’re willing to pay per lead, ensuring you stay within budget while competing effectively for ad space.
Creating Compelling Sponsored Ads
Make Every Element Count
The key to a successful ad is to capture attention quickly. You have just 1-2 seconds to engage your audience, so make every element count:
- Strong Visuals: Use eye-catching images or videos with captions.
- Clear Message: Directly address your audience and offer a clear call-to-action (CTA).
- Essential Information: Include your phone number and tell prospects what to expect next.
Designing the Lead Form
A Facebook Lead Generation Campaign allows you to create an “Instant Form” to capture leads. Keep it simple—ask for only the necessary information (Name, Email, Phone Number) to maximize form completion rates. Remember, the less you ask for, the more likely users are to fill out the form.
Budgeting for Facebook Ads
When it comes to budgeting, start with a significant amount, like $1000, to give Facebook’s algorithms enough data to optimize your campaign effectively.
If your average cost per lead is $35, a $1000 budget could yield approximately 28 leads. Always remember, not all leads will convert immediately, so follow up with a text, email, and phone call to increase your chances of making a connection.
