Audience Reach

Precise Targeting Options
Target by demographics, interests, behaviors, job titles, income, education, and dozens of other factors. Social platforms know more about users than any other ad channel. Leverage this data to reach exactly who you want with laser precision.
Visual Storytelling
Use images, videos, and carousel ads to tell your story in engaging ways. Social media is a visual medium where creative content captures attention. Showcase products, demonstrate services, and build emotional connections that text ads can't achieve.

Remarketing Powerhouse
Re-engage website visitors and platform users who've interacted with your content. Social media remarketing keeps your business visible to warm audiences across the platforms they use most. Stay top-of-mind with people who've already shown interest in what you offer.

When to Use Social Media Advertising
Building Brand Awareness
Perfect for new businesses or launching new products. Social media puts your brand in front of massive audiences who may not be actively searching for you yet. Build recognition and familiarity before customers even realize they need what you offer.
Targeting Specific Demographics
When you need precise audience control beyond just location and keywords. Social platforms excel at targeting based on age, interests, behaviors, job titles, income, education, and life events. Ideal when your customer profile is very specific and well-defined.
Visual Products or Services
If your offering benefits from being seen, social media is essential. Restaurants showcasing dishes, retailers displaying products, contractors showing before-and-after work. Visual storytelling on social platforms drives desire and action in ways text ads cannot match.
Longer Cycles
When customers need time to consider before buying. Social media keeps you visible throughout their decision-making process with multiple touchpoints. Perfect for high-ticket items, B2B services, or any purchase requiring research, comparison, and careful consideration before commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Social Media Advertising
What is social media advertising?
Social media advertising is the practice of placing paid ads on social media platforms. Users see these ads while browsing their chosen platforms, typically as they scroll through their feeds. The specific visibility and placement of your ad depends on how your campaign is set up. Different platforms offer various ad placement options including feeds, stories, sidebars, and more, allowing businesses to reach users where they already spend significant time online.
Which social media platforms offer advertising options?
The most popular platforms for advertising include Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, TikTok, and Snapchat. It’s important to note that platform effectiveness and popularity change over time as user behavior evolves and new platforms emerge. The best platforms for your business depend on your target audience, industry, and specific marketing goals. What works today may shift as social media continues to evolve.
What types of ads are available on social media platforms?
Social media platforms generally allow image ads, text ads, and video ads within feeds and other areas. While each platform has unique ad formats and specifications, these three core types are commonly available across most social sites. Additional formats may include carousel ads, story ads, collection ads, and interactive experiences depending on the platform. Specific options and placements vary based on which platform you choose for your campaign.
Should I advertise on every social media platform?
Probably not. It’s generally better to focus on one or two platforms initially and monitor their effectiveness before expanding. Spreading efforts too thin across many platforms is a common mistake that dilutes results. Consider your target audience and how it aligns with each platform’s user base. For example, LinkedIn is ideal for B2B businesses due to its professional user base and job title targeting. A B2C business seeking broader reach might find better results on platforms with more diverse demographics like Facebook or Instagram.
What type of budget do I need to run social media ads?
Your budget should align with your offering and average profit per client or customer. For high-ticket items generating thousands per sale, very small monthly budgets won’t be effective. Depending on your business and offering, effective budgets range from $500 to $50,000 or more per month. The key is ensuring ad spend makes sense relative to potential returns. Our job at OEPMA is finding that sweet spot and leveraging it to accomplish your business goals while maximizing return on investment.
How does remarketing work with social media?
Remarketing re-engages users who’ve already interacted with your business, either on the social platform itself or on your website. Social platforms offer tracking pixels you can place on your website to build remarketing audiences. You can also create audiences based on platform-specific interactions like users who viewed a certain percentage of your video ad. Remarketing keeps you visible to people who’ve shown interest in your brand while their interest is high, persuading them to contact you or make a purchase depending on your goals.
How much does OEPMA charge for social media advertising campaigns?
For ad spend under $6,000 per month, we charge a flat rate of $600 per month. For ad spend of $6,000 or more, our fee is 10% of ad spend, capped at $3,000 per month for accounts spending $30,000 or more.
