Jeff Kamikow Provides Tips for Advertising on Facebook

Is Facebook cool again? Nobody knows for sure, but the social networking giant is certainly still making a lot of money. Its money is coming in the form of mobile advertising. In total, there are about three million advertisers on Facebook. There are about another 500,000 advertisers on Instagram, the photo-sharing social media platform that Facebook owns and made open to advertising last year. Facebook made over $17.9 billion dollars last year. According to Mashable, 84% of that came from mobile advertising.

Mobile advertising expert, Jeff Kamikow, would tell you that Facebook advertising is essential to any media campaign. There are so many new ways to create an engaging ad and track that ad’s traffic to determine its success. If you are new to advertising on Facebook, you might not know where to start. In order to advertise effectively on Facebook, here are a few tips you might want to keep in mind:

Try Out Different Designs: Going with your instinct is fine with a lot of things. With mobile advertising, it’s best to give yourself several options. If you find that you are doing the same type of ad all of the time too, don’t be afraid to mix it up. If you’re bored with an ad, so is your audience.


Add a Testimonial to Your Ad: One of the easiest ways to convince your audience to try your product is by providing evidence in the form of a testimonial or statistic that highlights your product’s or service’s capabilities. Try to include at least one proof in every ad that you do.

Use a Call to Action: This is essential. When a user is given the option to view an ad, he or she should know what will happen next if he or she clicks on the ad. A call to action answers this question and sets the audience’s expectations.

Include an Image that Catches the Eye: On a Newsfeed, your ad will be facing a lot of competition for attention. Jeff Kamikow would tell you that you need an image that will draw their attention. Try a high quality image that is relevant to the text and elicits a specific emotion. Obviously, don’t be too provocative though as this could cause your ad to be rejected.

Will Jeff Kamikow and Other Advertisers Use Driverless Cars to Enhance Their Advertising?

Could automobiles become the next source for ad revenue for businesses? We’ve already seen the mobile ad business boom in the last few years as mobile ad spending has soared past desktop ad spending in the past year. While businesses might have to worry about whether or not they should invest more in mobile web advertising or in-app advertising, the next generation of mobile advertisers, like Jeff Kamikow, may be going on the road. There was a recent article in Ad Adage that discussed the role driver-less vehicles will have in the advertising world. Although drivers will still have control over a vehicle if they need to, they will have a lot of free time on their hands. When the average American adult can spend as much as an hour a day in a vehicle, that could potentially be a lot of advertising. Ad Adage makes it a point of saying that we can’t be too far away from Uber and Lyft starting to bring in advertisers to their drivers’ cars. Who knows what the future may hold? From using bea...

Jeff Kamikow | How will Google AMP Affect Your Mobile Strategy?

Jeff Kamikow  "Google’s AMP project, short for Accelerated Mobile Pages, sounds great on paper for consumers of content, but for mobile advertisers and businesses it represents a tremendous shakeup." Put simply, an AMP-enabled page uses a stripped-down version of HTML and Javascript to render text and images much faster. It one sense, it’s like Google is trying to bring back the simplicity of mid-1990s internet. Why is Google doing this? Page speed and mobile-friendliness. It is in Google’s interests to make its search engine as friendly as possible, and people do not like to wait for pages to load. More to the point, Google wants to deliver the information people are seeking as quickly as possible. That’s why they’ve developed things like knowledge cards and quick snippets. But if someone just wants the latest info from a news story, that’s too much information for a quick snippet.  Enter AMP pages. AMP-enabled pages require less rendering time and less data to transfer, bot...
