Linkedin advertising converts sales opportunities
LinkedIn Ads allow you to promote your company page through an ad campaign. There’s not a ton of room to work with due to these ad limits, but you can still craft effective calls to action, branding, and visual impact. Remember to test your Ads! Try different pictures, headlines, and offers to depend on your goals.
- Ad Campaign Name: Your ads in LinkedIn are grouped by Campaign so if you’ll be testing multiple targets and goals, you should name your campaign something relevant. There can be up to 15 ads in each Campaign.
- Ad Destination: Are you going to send them to a page on your website or one of your company pages on the social media network? This all comes down to what your goal is for advertising in the first place.
- Ad Copy & Image: LinkedIn Ads allow you to have an Image of 50×50 icon, at LinkedIn Ad Title Headline Length of 25 characters, and a LinkedIn Ad Body Description Length of 75 characters across two lines.
