However, based on his experience of creating and executing strategies for customer segmentation, Jack says that the biggest mistake many brand owners make is not segmenting their users into \u2018<strong>potential\u2019 and \u2018existing \u2018clients<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Advocating the importance of <strong>audience segmentation<\/strong> in ad marketing, Jack says:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>\u201cWhat I really encourage a lot of people to do is; when you&#8217;re creating marketing campaigns, when you&#8217;re creating email drips, when you&#8217;re creating videos or images and that sort of thing, always think about which segment is this getting created for?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Personalized campaigns help the brand owners know for whom they are targeting, the <strong>\u2018prospecting segment\u2019<\/strong> or the <strong>\u2018remarketing segment.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jack explains that if it is a \u2018prospecting segment,\u2019 they need to cater to someone who is entirely novice about your brand.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>However, if it is the \u2018remarketing segment,\u2019 who already knows you, all you are trying is to get them to purchase, sign up or submit timely forms.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Depending on the segments, the nature of content and visuals change.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customizing content for client segments<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Regarding the difference in content for both the segments, Jack explains one needs to keep in mind the difference in the \u2018purpose\u2019 or the \u2018expected call to action\u2019 while addressing these segments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, for the <strong>\u2018prospecting client,\u2019<\/strong> the agenda is to grab their attention and stop scrolling. For this, entertaining content works better than informative.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While on the <strong>\u2018remarketing\u2019<\/strong> side, the content needs to be a bit informative<strong>,<\/strong> explaining the brand\u2019s products and services and what value these can add to the customers\u2019 life and experiences.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Regarding the other aspects that matter while targeting the different audience groups after customer segmentation, Jack lists the below factors:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Geography<\/li><li>Gender<\/li><li>Person\u2019s persona<\/li><li>Relevancy to the customer<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measuring the performance and refreshing creative content&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As a <strong>marketer,<\/strong> you need to think about another factor while trying to cater to the two segments after the initial customer segmentation is donr: \u2018prospecting\u2019 and \u2018remarketing\u2019 are the <strong>performance metrics<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to measuring the <strong>results of the personalized ads<\/strong>, first, one needs to understand the end goal. The most common goals of any marketing campaign will be either:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A purchase, or<\/li><li>Sign up<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And for measuring the performance, you need to check the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On-platform metrics<\/li><li>Off-platform metrics<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While <strong>on-platform metrics<\/strong> tell the number of likes, shares, hits, post savings, and commenting on social media and google ads, the <strong>off-platform metrics<\/strong> are about submission of contact information on the landing page or purchase on the web.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On-platform metrics help the <strong>marketers<\/strong> understand what is working in content, visuals, or your <strong>value proposition<\/strong>. On the other hand, off-platforms metrics tell what improvements can be done in terms of collaterals to encourage action from the customers\u2019 side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Paxton further adds that <strong>testing the creatives\u2019 performance<\/strong> helps in <strong>content revival<\/strong> and in ensuring the kind of collaterals that work and don&#8217;t work. Based on this, new creatives can be reworked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Understanding the analytics<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Jack spills some secret tips about how in his own company, they try to <strong>decode the analytics<\/strong> based on <strong>engagement<\/strong>, <strong>click-through rate<\/strong>, <strong>comments<\/strong>, <strong>shares<\/strong>, <strong>post-sales reports,<\/strong> etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Preparing <strong>data studio reports<\/strong> and studying the <strong>top ads<\/strong> help them understand better which ones have the best <strong>ROI<\/strong> and <strong>ROAS<\/strong> and the most engagement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While understanding the <strong>performance analytics of ads<\/strong> and the posts, reviewing the on-platform and off-platform metrics play an important role.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While the on-platform metrics are more accessible for creative review, the off-platform metrics, because of the attributions like windows and iOS updates, are a bit harder to analyze.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Hence the key is to start with analyzing the on-platform metrics and then shift to off-platform metrics to understand the ROAS on your website, bounce rate, time spent by the users, etc. As per Jack:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>\u201cGood marketing professionals will take a look at all these things, and that\u2019s why they will be able to come up with good ads.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Harnessing the Technology for Creative Production<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about the importance of technology in creating different kinds of visual content and the challenges involved in it, Jack says:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>&nbsp;\u201cThe fight for data is a massive problem in the marketing world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He explains that things have become tougher for marketers and advertisers with developments like frequent iOS updates and Apple restricting information.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Unraveling some facts about how they at Vyper use technology, Jack explains that they pull off data from the entire ad networks and then collate them in a report. He also shares how they use interfaces like <strong>Supermetrics Google Data Studio Airport.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about easier ways to channel and record ad performance data, he advocates using <strong>UTM tags<\/strong> and <strong>Google analytics<\/strong> for every ad created and an email sent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>He also emphasizes<strong> solid naming convention<\/strong> and ensuring that you add campaign name, ad set name, and ad name at the end of your URLs for your ads, and while creating UTM tags,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201c<em>And that&#8217;s going to make filtering that information in Google analytics super easy to see which creative is working and which creatives aren\u2019t<\/em>,\u201d Paxton says.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In conclusion, Jack says that<a href=\"https:\/\/rocketium.com\/academy\/smart-ad-testing-with-creative-automation-test-banner-video-ads-faster\/\"> running tests<\/a> is crucial to understanding what works in terms of creatives, tags, and visuals. And while doing these tests, one must take note of the <strong>performance data in Google Analytics<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, marketers need to ensure there needs to be a balance between \u2018creativity\u2019 and \u2018targeting,\u2019 as usually both don\u2019t go hand in hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Usually, the creative people don\u2019t necessarily look at data, and the media buyers don\u2019t look at the creative very well.
