The company already had a full-blown Web site and a solid PowerPoint presentation. So I was hopeful that I’d find some ready made testimonials or at least some material I could use to create some.

As it turned out, they had one case study with a couple of customer quotes. I pieced the material together to create one measly testimonial. It was less than adequate.

Well, maybe it’s no big deal. After all, I wrote strong copy. Why even bother with testimonials? I’ll give you four good reasons.

1. Credibility

Testimonials give your company, product, or service credibility. Everyone is bombarded with advertising messages every day. It’s a brutal marketplace. If you want to sell something to somebody, you stand a much better chance if you can convince them that you’re credible. Testimonials are like references on a resume. They’re the people who vouch for you.

2. Identification

Your prospects identify with your customers who are providing the testimonials. They have similar concerns, problems, hopes and desires. They commiserate. This is good. You want this in your marketing. (Sorry, but your prospects don’t identify with you. Not really. You’re trying to sell them something!)

3. Proof

Proof, alone, is reason enough to gather and use testimonials. This is where your customers say, in effect, “They’re right, Mr. or Ms. Prospect. They can save you 50% … or  make you feel 18 again … or make you enough money to retire at 50. They did it for me and I’m thrilled!” Testimonials notarize your marketing speak.

4. Closure

Testimonials help close the sale. Sure, they can be used throughout a marketing piece. But they definitely come in handy toward the end. You’ve introduced the problem or need, your product or service, the features and benefits, and more. Then you line up your testimonials, all the customers whose heads are nodding and saying, “Yep, it worked for me.” Soon after, you ask for the order.

For many reasons, testimonials give your prospects the confidence they need to buy from you for the first time. And once your prospects turn into new customers, the door to repeat sales swings wide open.

The other day I was writing a sales brochure for a West Coast manufacturer. As I got to what I’ll call the “proof” section of the brochure, I was rummaging around for testimonials.

Have you ever noticed how companies now choose to promote their Facebook pages instead of their respective official sites?

This is indicative of how much Facebook's influence on social media has grown over the years. And that premise is explanation enough why Facebook Ads Marketing is a great tool in promoting your products and services. To get the best results in Facebook Ads Marketing, here are a few useful tips you can use.

Set Up Goals
By using built-in features like Facebook fanpages and groups, you can make use of the site's social networking capabilities. First, you need to set a goal in relation to social media, such as acquiring many "fans" and members as you can. Traditional campaign goals (site traffic, direct sales) will be instrumental as well.

Whatever you do, it's important that you keep your campaigns definitive. Facebook marketing tasks such as writing ad texts, linking URLs, and doing calls to action should have a concrete goal in mind.

Select the Perfect Image
An option to select a thumbnail for your Facebook ad will be made available to you. Of course, the image you pick should be relevant to the niche your business is involved with. Ads can benefit tremendously from images that are noticeable. It would probably wise to experiment with a few images to determine which one makes a big impact.

Targeting Methods
Facebook ads can give you a bevy of targeting options that will help direct people to your Facebook ads. These include geography, age, gender, education, relationship status, workplace, and keywords. Assign a value that corresponds to each of them in order to engage people who might express an interest on your ad according to the aforementioned target variables.

Set Up A Budget
Facebook advertising is not much different from Google's Adworks in a sense that you also bid for keywords in order for your ads to be displayed frequently. There are two types in doing this:  the cost per click (CPC) model and the cost-per-thousand (CPM) model. The CPC model is where you pay only for each click made on your ads; whereas the CPM model charges you for every instance your ad gets 1000 views.

Each model has its own merits, and it's entirely up to you which one you think would work best. As for the budget, it's recommended that you start small. Test the waters first; once you determine the set of keywords that result to better results, that's the time to increase the daily budget to the recommended amount, which is $50 or more.

Analyze
Facebook has a useful analytics tool called Facebook Insights which gives you the metrics that provide an account of every target variable. The information obtained can tell you how each variable of the campaign has contributed to the "sign ups" made by Facebook users. This gives you an idea on the adjustments that have to be made to assist the advertising campaign.

Following all the tips mentioned in this article will certainly bolster your Facebook Ads Marketing campaign. Follow everything to the letter, and you're bound to reap all the rewards.
