  • 3 Tips Marketing/Branding

  • 2 Contoh Iklan/Kempen Menarik

  • 1 Perkongsian Buku, Tool, Video yang Best

Untuk recap emel playbook sebelum ini:

Hari ni saya nak share 3 teknik iklan yang nampak biasa-biasa je... Tapi kalau tahu cara guna betul-betul, boleh dramatically improve sales + ROAS.

Let's dive in!

3 MARKETING TIPS

  1. Static Ads - Sometimes Simple Wins

Kadang-kadang kita terlalu obsess dengan video content. Tapi jangan underestimate power of a clean image dengan strong hook + clear CTA.

Why static ads work:

  • Lower production cost vs video

  • Perfect untuk retargeting campaigns

  • Users scroll slower = lebih attention pada message

Real results dari my recent tests: Saya test 2 static ads for the past 7 days - both achieved high ROAS dengan low CPA:

Key insight: Let your product become the hero. Jangan overshadow produk dengan too many elements.

Pro tip: Youtube video ni sangat membantu dalam process buat effective static ads.

  1. Carousel Ads - The Power of Swipe

Jangan underestimate the power of swipe! Carousel format perfect untuk:

✅ Step-by-step storytelling
✅ Multiple product showcase
✅ Sequential testimonials
✅ Before/after transformations

Why carousel works:

  • Higher engagement rates

  • Lower cost per interaction

  • More real estate untuk convince users

Users yang swipe through carousel shows genuine interest - easier to convert!

  1. Creative Boost di TikTok GMV Max (Hidden Gem!)

Ramai tak tahu kita boleh boost existing creator content terus dari dalam GMV Max.

The beauty: Tak perlu buat video sendiri, tapi boleh dapat massive views & sales - especially kalau produk dah ada organic traction.

How to set up Creative Boost:

Step 1: Identify videos yang stuck dalam status "Not Delivering/In Learning"

  • GMV Max system tak perfect

  • Jangan biarkan algorithm decide everything

  • Manual intervention sometimes needed

Step 2: Pilih video yang worth boosting

  • Guna marketer instinct - tanya diri sendiri: "Aku nak beli ke produk lepas tengok video ni?"

  • Kalau jawapan yes, that's your winner

  • For affiliate videos yang stuck dalam "Need Authorization" - reach out to creator dan minta approval

Step 3: Test dengan budget minimum

  • Start dengan RM10/day minimum

  • Run selama 3 hari dan monitor performance closely

  • Ada improvement? Scale up gradually

  • Takde results? Stop dan try video lain

Bottom line: Creative boost ni underutilized strategy yang boleh unlock hidden gems dalam your existing content pool.
