Paid media allows you to scale awareness and conversions by putting budget behind your highest-performing content and targeting the right audiences. When used strategically, paid media can complement your owned and earned efforts without requiring large or ongoing spend.
This article outlines recommended paid media channels and best practices for promoting your Bandwango Pass.
Quick Start: Paid Media Essentials
If you’re new to paid media or working with a limited budget, start here:
Boost one top-performing organic social post
Set up basic remarketing to users who visited your pass landing page
Track all paid links using UTMs
Focus spend on one channel at a time
These steps help you test performance and drive results without over-investing.
Social Media & Facebook Ads
Social media ads, especially Facebook, are strong drivers of conversions for Bandwango passes.
Why Social Ads Work
Social ads allow you to:
Target users by location, interests, and behaviors
Retarget people who’ve already interacted with your pass
Track conversions and performance in Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
Instagram ads can also be included, but Facebook often performs better for direct conversions.
Best Practices
Start with simple campaigns focused on signups
Use clear messaging that highlights value and urgency
Test short-form video or carousel formats
Retarget users who visited your landing page but didn’t sign up
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising
With PPC, you only pay when a user clicks on your ad, making it a cost-efficient option for intent-based traffic.
Best practices:
Target keywords related to your destination, experiences, or deals
Send all traffic to your dedicated pass landing page
Monitor clicks and conversions in GA4
Adjust spend based on performance data
PPC works best when paired with strong landing page messaging and clear CTAs.
Remarketing & Lookalike Audiences
Remarketing allows you to re-engage users who have already shown interest in your pass.
Best practices:
Retarget users who visited your landing page or clicked “Sign Up”
Create lookalike audiences based on existing passholders
Use tailored messaging that addresses familiarity or urgency
These tactics often deliver higher conversion rates than cold audiences.
Influencers & Local Media (Paid)
In some cases, influencer or local media partnerships may involve paid amplification.
Best practices:
Boost influencer posts that already perform well organically
Partner with local media outlets for sponsored placements
Use geotargeting to ensure local relevance
Track performance using UTMs
This approach extends the reach of trusted voices while maintaining targeting control.
Measuring Paid Media Success
To evaluate performance:
Track traffic and conversions in GA4
Compare results across channels and campaigns
Identify which audiences and creatives perform best
Pause underperforming campaigns and scale what works
Paid media should be flexible and data-driven—not set and forget.
Next Steps
Once paid campaigns are running, focus on extending reach through partnerships and offline channels.
