Advertising for LinkedIn

Using LinkedIn when it comes to marketing and advertising is a very good aspect to promote who you are and what you do in the professional business. Me personally I love this social media option and glad it has come into the marketing industry because it is like a digital resume. LinkedIn is not just some ordinary social media website because it is for professional people trying to get “LinkedIn” with other business people. Someone who is into arts for example music, graphic designing, or even designing would use LinkedIn to promote his or hers talent. Just like any social media website, they are not always safe but the person can control what goes on within their social media lines. LinkedIn is very professional therefore, only business people add you, but the problem with that is you do not know who is adding you. In class my FRM teacher Frank Pinto says, “One day I asked a guy that goes to AILV did he have a business card and he said yes but he asked for his LinkedIn.” I had wondered why he said that or why he said, “I do not add students unless they are graduates.” According to LinkedIn their LinkedIn Advertising Plan Outline is:

*       A LinkedIn account to use LinkedIn advertising. While you don’t need a completed profile or company page if you are linking to your website in your ad, having both are good for your overall online presence.

*       A definition of your ideal customer for ad targeting purposes.

*       A landing page customized for the product or service you are advertising targeted to your ideal customer.

*       An idea of how you want your ad to look by researching other ads on LinkedIn.

*       Strong headlines, descriptions, and images for your LinkedIn ad variations.

*       Time to review your ad variations to only use the ones with the best conversion rates.

*       Time to measure your results to determine if LinkedIn ads are right for your business.
