Hello Everyone

I created my first onlinestore a few days ago. Now I'm done designing it and want to start making some sales. 
The store is a dropshipping store, which sells personalized gifts for lovers. The targeted audience is german speaking lovers, who want to make their loved ones personalized gifts.

I ordered one of my products for testing and to make some ads.

Now my question is, where and how should I start making ads?

My shop: lovegifts.ch

Hi @lovegifts_ch , thank you for posting here!

With your target audience being German-speaking lovers seeking personalized gifts, you need to choose the most effective format(s) to deliver your message. Each format has different strengths and weaknesses, and you may find that using a combination is best for your campaign.

• Display ads. Appearing in websites and apps, these visual ads are usually served as banner ads or popups. According to Statista, display ads account for 30% of all digital advertising spending. Consider using Google Search Ads to target people searching for keywords related to personalized gifts, couple gifts, or specific gift ideas. Google Shopping Ads can also be effective for showcasing your products visually.
• Video ads. Video’s ability to convey a lot of information quickly makes it popular, and research shows that 91% of businesses use videos as part of their marketing strategy. Video marketing spending is expected to reach $120 billion in 2024. Video ads can be long or short but must be tailored to the advertising platform, whether streaming services, social media, or websites.
• Influencer marketing ads. Powered by social proof, influencer ads use an influencer discussing or using your product to convince their audience to buy. Influencer ads come in several types, including online videos, product reviews, influencer takeovers on social media, and sponsored content.
• Search engines. These text-based search ads look like a typical search entry plus a “sponsored” note on search engine result pages (SERPs). Because these are usually pay-per-click ads (PPC), how often your ad shows when a person searches for certain phrases or keywords may vary based on what your competition is paying for ads on the same keywords.
• Social media. Social media advertising is one of the fastest-growing advertising channels, with revenue expected to reach $262 billion by 2028. Ads on social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (formerly Twitter) are available in several formats. Text, images, videos, carousels, and even sponsored content are available on different networks.
• Podcasts. Often overlooked, podcast advertising is relatively low-cost and reaches a well-targeted audience. Audio ads can be placed before, in the middle, and at the end of episodes, with some podcasts also offering video placements on streaming platforms. 
• Pinterest: This platform is popular among women, who make up a significant portion of the gift-giving market. You can create visually appealing pins that showcase your products and target users based on their interests.
• TikTok: If your products align with trends on TikTok, consider using TikTok Ads to reach a younger, more engaged audience.

Tips for Effective Ad Creation

• Strong visuals: Use high-quality images and videos that showcase your products and evoke emotions.
• Compelling copy: Write ad copy that is persuasive, easy to understand, and highlights the benefits of your products.
• Targeted campaigns: Use the targeting options available on each platform to reach your ideal customers.
• A/B testing: Experiment with different ad creatives, targeting options, and bidding strategies to optimize your results.
• Track performance: Monitor your ad campaigns to measure their effectiveness and make necessary adjustments.

I trust these recommendations will assist in enhancing your website's conversion rate.

Hello lovesgifts_ch,

Firstly, you have made a beautiful store. congratulations on your newly launched store.

As you are seeking suggestions on paid ads first pick few platform to go. recently TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat have had a good time for paid ads. 

Most of the young boys and girls prefer these platforms. So I would suggest these platforms for better outcomes. 

Before running ads on any platform, don't forget to configure the conversion Tracking. Conversion Tracking Helps to gather users data and optimize the ads performance by providing data to ads manager.
