Tip #1: Include All of the Right Elements

Like other low-cost lead generation strategies, Facebook advertising won’t work if it lacks certain key items. Before pushing out a Facebook ad, it’s important to ensure that it contains the elements essential for success, which include:

A Headline

A good headline captures the audience’s attention and inspires them to take action. Without one, your ad will fall flat.

Post Text

Building from the headline, your post text should further entice the audience to take action. Offering a solution to one of the audience’s problems is a good way to do this.

A Link Description

Finally, following the same theme as your headline and post text, the link description serves as your ad’s call to action.

Tip #2: Select Strong Images That Stand Out

A well-written Facebook ad won’t generate great results if it’s not used in conjunction with a strong, relevant image.

Since Facebook ads target specific groups of people, the images used in your ads should be relevant and meaningful to your targeted groups.

When targeting first-time home buyers, for instance, an image of a family closing on their first home might be a good choice. Getting as specific as possible can boost the effectiveness of your images.

The bottom line is this: you should always think about who you’re targeting and what will capture their attention when selecting an ad image.

Tip #3: Utilize Templates for Real Estate Facebook Ads

When it comes to crafting an effective Facebook ad, starting from scratch often isn’t the best strategy.

Instead, utilize one of many real estate Facebook ads that have already been proven effective at generating clients and commissions. You can find these ads online and attempt to recreate them, but there’s a better way.
