Google Ads For Beginners: The Most Simple Way To Separate Out Your Campaigns (Details!!)

As my last post said that we can set up multiple campaigns under one Google Ads account, so thinking about how to separate out campaigns is your first task to start with.

Many brands like to create campaigns by advertising on products or services. Unfortunately, it is wrong because it is not effective.

You want to start off thinking about the CORE GROUP of services or products. They could be your best sellers or top-rated services. Concentrating on the core group shows what's the most important thing or the best products (services) directly to the users.

You could also focus on LOSS LEADERS. Loss leaders are the products or services that might not generate profits on the first initial sale, but you know from your own data that typically those customers will come back and buy more later on. You have to build that into the lifetime value of your consumer calculations.

There are different ways to set up campaigns. The most simple way to separate out your campaigns is to study your website navigation. Good navigation will show a clear website structure and group the related information into the right categories. Users could easily understand your website by reading the navigation, and it could direct users to the right place.

You could set up your campaign based on the top-level categories of that navigation. For example, if I want to set up campaigns for IKEA, I could set up five campaigns: offers, products, rooms, ideas & inspiration, and new at IKEA.



Then, the ad groups under each campaign would be the subcategories of each primary navigation. I could create different ad groups under the product campaign such as good deals, furniture, seasonal ideas and etc.



Next, you need to think about what page you want to send the traffic to, so you don't want to be too broad and also don't want to be too specific. The point is that we are using the navigational structure of the website to inform users' decisions about how we want to work on our campaigns.

How is your information structured is how you are going to get landing pages for your ads. What area of your site and what page on your site are you going to be sending traffic to? That's obviously going to increase the usefulness of the information you provide to consumers, and you are going to have a higher conversion rate.

How specific a page you want to send traffic to?

It is better to give a person a sense of ownership of his perception. For example, if I am searching for baby toys, I want to be able to find it by myself. I want to explore more and then select the toy I like. This experience makes me feel better about to take everything in control.



If the landing page is too specific, you are not allowing the user to make his own decision to evaluate his own buying choices. That's the thing you don't want to take away from users.

Moreover, you could also build campaigns based on the value and the aggressiveness you want to bid for a specific product or service. In general, a searcher that's closest to the flagship location will have a very high bid.

At last, it is very important that we keep your campaign data clean because you don't want to have a lot overlap between campaigns. Make sure you break campaigns out in a way that is organized.

Starbucks: Three Main Benefits For Writing Customer Name On The Cup

Whenever I order a small Starbucks coffee, I am always asked "What's your first name?" by a cashier. Even I was the only person to order, they still asked my name. Not only Starbucks, now many other bubble tea brands such as Vivi, Coco, Gong Tea also start calling customer's names. Why does Starbucks write customer name on the cup? What're the benefits to do that? Image from writingelves.com Self-Promotion In the beginning, Starbucks wrote customer names because they received too many orders. Marking down names would prevent mistakes. Later on, Starbucks found that writing names do not only improve work efficiency but also increase brand awareness.   Sometimes (most times) Starbucks spell the wrong name. You think customers will get angry? Actually no. In contrast, people feel Starbucks is not only a coffee shop but also a coffee shop with its own personality.  Image From Memeguy Some customers also make fun with Starbucks. They come up with...

Pantene "Power of Grey" Campaign: Every Color Is Shining

Many of my girlfriends started to change their hair color. A new hair color brings a new look which makes them feel different.  I never color my hair because I love my black hair. If one day I get white hair, I might change the color because I don't want to look old. See, white or grey hair means old. It is a very common thought in society. What if someone was born in grey hair?  Pantene found that 80% of Brits have grey hair, but 40% cover them because they feel less confident with grey hair.  So, Pantene launched "Power of Grey" Campaign to encourage people to embrace their unique trait: grey hair.  Yes, grey hair is different, but they are also beautiful the way they are.  The new Pantene hair care product is special for grey hair and will make them shiner. "Power of Grey" campaign turns the negative perception of grey hair to a positive view. As the Katharine Newby Grant commented: "We're committed to continui...

Pampers "Love The Change" Ad Review: Good Story Always Comes From Real Life

Being a parent is exciting but also challenging. The new Pampers Ad "Love The Change" tells the true story of being new parents and how a baby changes our life. As a new parent, we may feel fear and worried when the baby throws up. We may be still awake in the late night to hold our baby to sleep. We may forget to bring some baby care supplies when we need it. We may search for our concerns online to get help. No matter how difficult to deal with every trouble, once the baby smile, all we could feel is happiness.  As long as we are together, we want to accompany our baby to change and grow up. A baby brings surprise, happiness, and a wonderful memory. When I see this ad, I feel touchable and real. I am a new mom, too. All these scenes in the Ad I have been through. I was afraid when my baby was crying; I woke up every two hours to feed my baby every night, and I also search for a lot of weird questions on Google. Instea...
