Day 12 - How to Create a FB Ad Campaign
Below you will find a clear, step-by-step guide for creating a Facebook ad campaign that actually works for supplements (while staying compliant): 1. Prepare Before You Open Ads Manager - Know your offer: Which product, bundle, or promo are you pushing? - Define your audience: Age, gender, interests, behaviors, location. This should have been already completed in Step 1 of your onboarding process with Rocktomic Labs. - Compliance check: Facebook is strict with supplements, so avoid disease claims (no “treats,” “cures”), focus on supporting or helping. - Creative assets ready: At least 3-5 ad images/videos + 3 versions of ad copy. 2. Create Your Campaign In Meta Ads Manager: a. Click “Create.” b. Choose Objective: For sales, pick Sales; for lead gen, pick Leads. c. Name your campaign (e.g., “Berberine Launch - Cold Traffic - US Men 40+”). d. Turn on A/B testing if you want to compare creatives or audiences. 3. Build Your Ad Set (Audience + Placement + Budget) - Conversion location: Your website or Shopify store (pixel required). - Audience targeting: Cold traffic: demographics + interest targeting (“Health & Wellness,” “Low Carb Diet,” “Men’s Health”). Warm traffic: website visitors, email list uploads, FB/IG engagers. - Placements: Start with Advantage+ Placements (FB + IG feed, Stories, Reels). - Budget: $20–$50/day per ad set to start (enough for learning phase). 4. Create the Ads - Format: Single image, carousel, or video. Video often works best for supplements. - Primary text (first 2 lines = hook): “Men 40+: Struggling with energy, weight, or focus? Here’s a better way.” - Headline: Short & benefit-driven (“Support Healthy Blood Sugar†”). - CTA button: “Shop Now” or “Learn More.” - Destination URL: Direct to product page or a dedicated landing page. 5. Compliant Copy Tips for Supplements - Use structure/function language: “Supports healthy…” or “Helps maintain…” - No before/after pics that imply medical change. - Avoid “you” + symptom in same sentence (“If you have high blood sugar” is a no). - Always include your disclaimer in small print or on the landing page.
