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
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:

https://fashrevo.com/ - ROAS 5.42

www.nurturethelabel.com/ - ROAS 24.17
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.
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!
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.
