D2C Brands think they must sacrifice FB ad sales for brand equity. Would you sacrifice brand equity to make $1,000,000s with FB ads? You don't have to. You can have both. Hear me out. People buy solutions to problems, and they stay for the community. At the top of the funnel, customers don’t care about your brand. They care about how you can solve their problem. Direct-response ads on Facebook bring customers in. Your brand makes them stay. Take luxury brands, for example. They're known to write the most persuasive ads in print media and high-end magazines. They don’t sell billions because their logos are beautiful. It’s deeper than that, people crave status. That’s why they buy luxury. Then, they stay for the experience. The trap many D2C brands fall into is trying to stay "on brand". They forget that people don’t care unless they solve their problems. And in some cases, it’s putting them on the path to bankruptcy. Truth be told, they don’t even have a brand yet. They have a logo and colors. Building a brand takes time. Using direct response now means scaling customer acquisition while building for a household-name company tomorrow. P.s. Posted this on LinkedIn and thought it could be useful to you. |
