Why Multi-platform feature helpful?
This is not the first time Microsoft Advertising launched such a campaign. It was launched in 2021 and open for the same countries and after its success, new features were added to the Microsoft Smart Campaigns.
The SMM tools by Microsoft Advertising come with these features that help you to schedule posts in advance, track platform performance, and provide actionable feedback to improve your content. This can be done for the four major platforms- Instagram, LinkedIn, Face, book and Twitter on a single dashboard comfortably.
It ideally requires 6-8 multiple touch points to make a sale but more than 70% of the marketers drop their swords before fighting. With the new Smart Campaign feature, Microsoft makes sure that your ad reaches your ideal audience on platforms they are active on.
Microsoft also makes it possible to reach your target audience not just via ads and getting sign-ups but via multiple touch points like emails, websites, and social media making it a more cohesive journey. Think about it this way: if someone sees your ad on Facebook, they might not be ready to buy right then and there. But if they see your ad again on Instagram a few days later, they might start to become more interested. And if they see your ad for a third time on Google, they might finally be ready to make a purchase.
