and use Manus AI inside Ads Manager to diagnose issues and scale what’s working.

By Erin Siemek, CEO of Forge Digital Marketing Last updated: March 2026

If you’ve tried to advertise supplements on Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), you’ve probably experienced the same headache: ads get disapproved, appeals go nowhere, and your acquisition pipeline stalls while you scramble to figure out what went wrong. Meta’s policies for health and wellness are stricter than ever, and 2025–2026 AI changes (like Andromeda and Manus AI) have made the system less forgiving if you stray outside the lines.

This guide breaks down how Meta actually treats supplement ads today, the specific claims and creative patterns that trigger rejections, how to structure compliant copy and landing pages, and how to optimize campaigns using modern best practices—including Andromeda‑driven Advantage+ campaigns and the new Manus AI assistant inside Ads Manager.

Why Meta Keeps Rejecting Supplement Ads (The Policy Overview)

Meta doesn’t have a blanket ban on supplements, but many supplement products fall into restricted Health and Wellness and Drugs & Supplements categories, which get far more scrutiny than general ecommerce. Meta faces regulatory and reputational risk if it allows unapproved or misleading health claims, so it enforces strict rules and expects advertisers to align with FTC and local health regulations—not just platform policy.

Three big forces drive rejections for supplement ads:

Regulatory risk and unapproved health claims Meta’s Health and Wellness policies prohibit ads that claim to cure, treat, or prevent diseases or serious medical conditions, especially when the product is not an approved drug.
Sensitive personal attributes and health conditions Meta’s Personal Attributes rules prevent you from stating or implying that you know someone has a specific condition (for example, “Sick of your anxiety attacks?”), or from targeting based on sensitive health traits.
Misleading results and transformations The platform has tightened enforcement on exaggerated claims, dramatic before‑and‑after imagery, weight‑loss promises, and strong expert endorsements, all of which it views as high‑risk for vulnerable users.

Meta isn’t trying to make life impossible for legitimate brands; it’s trying to filter out bad actors without reviewing every single ad by hand. In practice, that means supplement advertisers have to work with automated systems that default to “no” unless your copy and creative are clearly safe.

Meta’s Specific Rules for Health and Supplement Ads

To stay out of trouble, you need to understand where Meta draws the line on claims, creative, and targeting.

1. Avoid explicit and implied disease claims

Meta’s unapproved health claims policies are fundamentally about stopping disease‑level promises from unregulated products.

You should avoid language (and imagery) that says or strongly implies your supplement:

“Cures,” “treats,” “prevents,” “heals,” “reverses,” or “eliminates” a disease or diagnosable condition.

“Reduces the risk of” or “protects against” named diseases (for example, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, arthritis).
Directly addresses users as if they have a diagnosis: “If you suffer from chronic anxiety, this is for you.”

Even softer phrases like “fight off illness,” “stop getting sick,” or “finally get relief from your back pain” can be interpreted as disease claims and trigger disapprovals.

2. Use structure–function style claims (carefully)

You’re safer when you stick to structure–function style language—claims about supporting normal body function—rather than implying medical treatment.

Safer patterns include:

“Supports immune function.”
“Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.”
“Supports joint comfort and mobility.”
“Helps maintain a calm and relaxed mood.”

However, “safer” doesn’t mean guaranteed. Meta can still reject copy if it feels like disease prevention or over‑promises results, especially around immunity, mental health, and weight.

3. Claims must be truthful and substantiated

Meta’s general ad standards require that all claims be truthful, not misleading, and supported by evidence. For supplements, this means:

Don’t use precise improvement numbers (“Increase strength by 30%”) unless you’re prepared with clinical proof.
Avoid sweeping transformations (“life‑changing results,” “total body reset”) when they could be read as health outcomes rather than lifestyle aspiration.

You can still speak aspirationally, but keep the claim grounded:

Safer: “Designed to support endurance and power.”

Risky: “Guaranteed 20% strength increase in 30 days.”

4. Be careful with experts and endorsements

Meta does not have a single, explicit line that says “no doctor endorsements for supplements,” but in practice, ads that feature professionals personally recommending a product for a specific health outcome are frequently rejected.

High‑risk examples:

“I’m a physician, and I recommend this supplement to my patients with anxiety.”
“I’m a registered dietitian and this is my #1 recommendation for weight loss.”

Lower‑risk alternatives:

Educational content from a professional explaining general ingredient benefits, without personal use or specific health outcomes.
Brand‑level credibility markers on your site (ad copy keeps the expert out of explicit recommendation territory).

5. Transformation and body imagery rules

Meta is highly sensitive to appearance‑ and weight‑related content.

Avoid:

Dramatic before‑and‑after images for weight loss, muscle gain, or skin conditions.
Zoomed‑in “problem area” shots that could be read as body shaming (for example, close‑ups of bellies or acne).
Visuals that clearly imply a medical transformation (for example, severe joint damage vs. normal joint).

Lean on:

Lifestyle imagery: people moving, cooking, working, and living—where the product is part of a healthy routine, not a magic fix.
Clean product shots: bottle, packaging, simple benefit callouts that pass policy muster.

6. Targeting and age restrictions

Meta’s policies on Personal Attributes and Health and Wellness significantly limit how you target and speak to users.

Key principles:

Don’t build or speak to audiences based on implied conditions (“people with anxiety,” “people trying to fix their gut issues”).

Don’t phrase copy as if you know someone’s health status (“Tired of your chronic insomnia?”).

Expect under‑18 targeting restrictions for weight‑loss, cosmetic, and many supplement categories, and stricter age rules (often 21+) for alcohol and certain regulated substances; check Meta’s latest age‑gating rules for your category.

Broad, behaviour‑based targeting plus Meta’s AI is now the norm; manual micro‑targeting on sensitive health interests is both less effective and more dangerous policy‑wise.

The Most Common Reasons Supplement Ads Get Disapproved (With Examples)

Below are typical disapproval triggers, with safer rewrites that stay inside Meta’s current guardrails.

Example 1: Health claim crosses into disease territory

Rejected copy: “Our turmeric supplement reduces inflammation and joint pain.”
Why: “Reduces inflammation and joint pain” sounds like treating a medical condition (for example, arthritis), not supporting normal function.
Safer alternative: “Our turmeric formula supports healthy joint comfort and mobility.”

Example 2: Implied health claims through visuals

Rejected ad: Before‑and‑after photos showing dramatic weight loss with text “Try our weight loss supplement.”

Why: The imagery and copy together promise a specific transformation and treat weight loss as a health outcome, which Meta flags as high‑risk.

Safer alternative: Lifestyle imagery of people being active, paired with copy like “Supports metabolism and healthy energy levels”—no numerical loss claims, no transformation visuals.

Example 3: Health professional testimonial

Rejected ad: “I’m a registered dietitian, and I recommend this supplement to my clients for better sleep,” with credentials visible.
Why: Combines professional authority with a specific health outcome, which often triggers rejection.
Safer alternative: “Formulated with magnesium to support relaxation and quality rest,” with no expert endorsement in the ad itself.

Example 4: Vague disease‑prevention language

Rejected copy: “Boost your immune system. Fight off illness with our premium multivitamin.”
Why: “Fight off illness” implies disease prevention, not just support of normal function.
Safer alternative: “Support your immune system with our premium multivitamin.”

Example 5: Unsupported performance promises

Rejected copy: “Increase your athletic performance by 30% with our pre‑workout supplement.”
Why: Specific numeric improvement requires strong evidence and can still be treated as misleading.
Safer alternative: “Support your athletic performance with our pre‑workout formula, designed for endurance and power.”

How to Write Compliant Supplement Ad Copy (Do’s and Don’ts)

Think of your copy as a conversation with both your ideal customer and Meta’s policy engine at the same time.

Do: Use safe, structure–function phrasing

Use verbs like “supports,” “helps maintain,” “helps promote,” “helps you feel.”
Tie benefits to normal body function: “supports immune health,” “helps maintain normal cholesterol levels,” “supports calm and focus.”
Keep timelines and promises modest; hint at support, not guaranteed outcomes.

Do: Focus on ingredients and education

Highlight what’s inside and why: “Contains vitamin C to support immune function,” “Formulated with ashwagandha, traditionally used to support stress resilience.”
Use simple infographics or carousels to explain ingredient roles without implying medical treatment.

Do: Emphasize lifestyle and wellness

Frame your supplement as part of a healthy lifestyle: “Build a daily wellness ritual,” “Support your training routine,” “Fuel your active days.”
Make the user the hero, and your product a tool—not a miracle cure.

Do: Use required legal disclaimers

For US dietary supplements, include: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
Keep this language clearly visible on the landing page, not buried in fine print.

Do: Highlight third‑party trust signals

Show NSF, GMP, organic, or third‑party testing badges where applicable.
These build credibility without making health claims and are generally safe from a policy standpoint.

Don’t: Use disease or desperation language

Avoid verbs like “cures,” “treats,” “prevents,” “heals,” “reverses,” “eliminates,” “controls,” or “manages” in a health context.

Skip desperation‑based hooks like “Finally, relief from…” or “Suffering from…?” that imply diagnosis or exploit vulnerable users.

Don’t: Make guaranteed or quantified promises without proof

Avoid “guaranteed” results, “clinically proven” without actual clinical data, or specific percentage improvements.
If you do have research, mirror the conservative framing used in the study and be prepared for extra scrutiny.

Don’t: Lean on expert endorsements

Don’t use “doctor‑recommended” or show doctors and dietitians endorsing specific outcomes in your ad creative or primary text.
Keep expert credibility on your site (about pages, articles) and let ads focus on compliant product benefits.

Don’t: Use dramatic transformations or weight‑loss imagery

Avoid before‑and‑after photos, extreme physique changes, and visuals centered on “problem” body parts.
Use movement, energy, and lifestyle shots instead.

Creative and Imagery Guidelines That Pass Meta Review

Meta’s automated systems review the image or video as aggressively as the text, so your creative must be policy‑safe even on mute.

Lifestyle imagery

Show real people using your product in natural settings: working out, cooking, working at a desk, hiking, playing with kids.
Avoid expressions of pain, distress, or visible “suffering” that could tie back to medical conditions.

Product‑centric imagery

Use clean product shots—bottle, jar, sachets—with neutral backgrounds and short, compliant benefit phrases.

Don’t print disease claims or dramatic promises directly on labels or overlays; reviewers see those as part of the ad.

Educational graphics

Infographics that explain how ingredients support body functions (for example, “Vitamin D: supports bone health”) tend to perform well and pass review.
Keep charts and diagrams simple and avoid medical imagery like scans, x‑rays, or symptoms photography.

Testimonials (with caution)

Customer testimonials focusing on experience (“I feel more energized,” “I stay focused longer at work”) are safer than claims framed as medical outcomes.
Avoid reviews that mention diagnoses or cures (“This cured my anxiety,” “My arthritis is gone”).

Landing Page Requirements for Supplement Ads

Meta doesn’t stop at your ad; it checks the landing page for consistency and policy compliance. If your page makes stronger health claims than your ads, expect disapprovals.

Align messaging from ad to page

Match your landing page language to the tone and claims of your ad: if the ad says “supports energy,” the page shouldn’t say “eliminates fatigue forever.”
Keep structure–function framing consistent across headlines, bullets, and FAQs.

Include legally required disclaimers and transparency

Display the FDA disclaimer prominently for US dietary supplements.
Provide clear supplement facts, ingredient lists, serving sizes, and usage instructions; transparency helps reviewers and builds consumer trust.

Avoid medical positioning and disease content

Don’t include disease‑oriented blog posts, graphs, or claims on the same product page (for example, “Our supplement prevents heart disease”).
Keep disease education, if you choose to publish it, in separate educational content that is not used as a destination for ads.

Use social proof responsibly

Include customer reviews that describe experiences, preferences, and lifestyle benefits, not diagnoses and cures.
Avoid star‑rating widgets that specifically rate medical outcomes (“Pain relief: 5/5”) next to the primary product pitch.

What to Do When Your Ad Gets Rejected (Appeal Process)

Even with best practices, some supplement ads will get flagged by Meta’s automated systems. Here’s how to handle disapprovals efficiently.

Read the disapproval reason Look at which policy bucket got triggered: “Unapproved health claims,” “Misleading or false content,” “Health or personal attributes,” etc.
Audit your ad and landing page
Check for disease language, implied diagnoses, dramatic transformations, expert endorsements, or misaligned claims between ad and page.
Edit and resubmit
Make targeted changes: soften verbs (“supports” instead of “fixes”), swap imagery, or remove expert references.
Resubmit once you’ve made meaningful adjustments; don’t spam the same creative hoping to randomly get approved.

Request manual review with an explanation
Use the “Request Review” / appeal option and briefly explain how your ad complies: “This ad makes only structure–function claims and does not reference diseases or conditions.” “Our landing page includes the FDA disclaimer and no disease claims.”
Escalate to account review if patterns persist
If multiple compliant ads keep getting rejected, request a broader account review and consider simplifying your structure so Andromeda can re‑evaluate your setup.

Alternative Growth Channels When Meta Is Too Restrictive

Some supplement categories—especially weight‑loss, anxiety, and other sensitive health topics—will always be tough on Meta. When you hit that wall, diversify.

Google Shopping and Search – Often more tolerant of supplement listings, especially for brand and ingredient terms; great for capturing clear intent.
TikTok Ads – Still more flexible on supplement creative (though tightening); short‑form UGC‑style videos and education‑first content work well.
YouTube Ads – Excellent for long‑form education (for example, explaining formulations, ingredient sourcing, and rituals).
Organic social – Content series, ingredient breakdowns, and community building on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube that don’t rely on ad approval.
Email and SMS – Turn visitors into owned audiences with content‑driven lead magnets, then educate and convert without platform policy constraints.
Influencer partnerships – Let creators integrate your product into their content within each platform’s rules, expanding reach even when your own ad account is constrained.
Tiktok Affiliates – Get on Tiktok Shop and leverage “the social snowball effect” of an affiliate “swarm” – if you need a good example of how effective that can be, check out the brand Comfrt on TT.

How to Optimize Supplement Ads on Meta in 2026 (Andromeda, Advantage+, Manus AI)

Meta’s ad ecosystem changed dramatically with its Andromeda AI engine and the rollout of GEM and Advantage+ enhancements in 2025. In early 2026, Meta integrated Manus AI directly into Ads Manager, giving advertisers an embedded assistant to analyze accounts and propose optimizations. To make supplement ads work now, you need to design around these systems rather than fighting them.

1. Simplify account structure and go broad (within policy)

Use Advantage+ Shopping / Sales campaigns as your main acquisition levers instead of dozens of small, segmented ad sets.
Consolidate into a handful of campaigns by objective and funnel stage (for example, Prospecting, Retargeting, Win‑Back), giving Andromeda enough volume to learn.
Start with broad targeting constrained only by geography, age (respecting health‑category age rules), and legal limitations; let AI optimize whom to show your ads to.

2. Feed Andromeda diverse, compliant creative

Andromeda rewards campaigns that give it multiple creative angles to test within a stable structure.

Include, at minimum:

Ingredient‑education ads (highlighting a key ingredient and its structure–function benefit).
Lifestyle ads (people using the product in daily life).
Social‑proof ads (testimonials framed as experiences, not cures).
Offer‑driven ads (bundles, subscription discounts, or trials) with compliant language.

Use Reels and short vertical video as core formats; Meta is heavily favoring these, and supplement brands see strong CPAs when they pair UGC hooks with compliant claims.

3. Optimize for high‑quality purchase signals

Andromeda’s decisions are only as good as the signals it sees.

Optimize your primary campaigns for purchase (or subscription) events, not just clicks or views.
Tighten your pixel + Conversions API setup so events are deduplicated, firing correctly, and mapped to the right standard events (for example, ViewContent, AddToCart, Purchase).
Use value‑based optimization where AOV justifies it—higher conversion values give Andromeda better feedback on which audiences and creatives drive profitable orders.

4. Use Manus AI inside Ads Manager to troubleshoot and scale

With Meta’s acquisition and integration of Manus AI, you now have a native assistant that understands your account data in real time.

For supplement brands, Manus AI can:

Run account health audits to spotlight patterns: which campaigns are learning‑limited, which creatives frequently trigger disapprovals, and where CPAs are drifting.

Group campaigns by funnel stage and recommend consolidation or budget reallocation based on performance under Andromeda.

Surface creative insights—for example, that your ingredient‑education ads are driving most purchases, while certain testimonial formats underperform or cause policy flags.

Use Manus AI as your first stop before a rebuild: ask it what’s working, what’s not, and where policy issues cluster, then make surgical changes instead of starting from scratch.

5. Lean into Meta’s AI creative tools with guardrails

Meta’s AI tools can generate headlines, text variations, and visual tweaks, but they don’t inherently understand supplement regulations.

Best practice:

Use AI suggestions for formatting and angle variety, not for core claims language.
Lock guardrails in your briefs: clearly specify no disease terms, no guarantees, no expert endorsements, and no before‑and‑after metaphors.
Have a human (or your internal compliance checklist) review every AI‑generated variant before it goes live.

6. Measure incrementality, not just in‑platform ROAS

With so much automation, it’s easy to over‑ or under‑credit Meta for supplement performance.

Pair Ads Manager reporting with blended CAC and LTV from your ecommerce platform to see the full picture.
Run periodic geo‑based or audience hold‑out tests to estimate incremental lift from Meta versus baseline performance driven by search, organic, email, and influencers.
For subscription and replenishment‑heavy supplements, track the impact of Meta‑sourced cohorts on long‑term retention, not just first‑order ROAS.

How Forge Navigates Meta Compliance for Supplement Brands

At Forge, we’ve built a compliance‑first Meta playbook specifically for supplement brands living under Andromeda and Manus AI. We focus on minimizing rejections and maximizing profitable scale.

Our process:

Claims and positioning audit – We review your product, labels, and website to identify disease‑adjacent language, risky testimonials, and compliance gaps.
Ad copy and creative rewrite – We rebuild your messaging using structure–function framing, safe emotional hooks, and policy‑friendly visuals.
Landing page alignment – We align product pages with compliant claims, add legally required disclaimers, and ensure there are no hidden disease claims that could trigger disapprovals.
Andromeda‑native account structure – We consolidate campaigns into Advantage+‑driven setups optimized for purchase signals and high‑performing creative angles.
Ongoing monitoring and appeals – We use Manus AI and manual reviews to quickly address disapprovals, adjust creative, and keep your account in good standing.
Channel diversification plan – We help you layer in Google, TikTok, YouTube, email, and influencers so your growth isn’t dependent on Meta alone.

Instead of guessing what Meta will approve, we treat policy and AI systems as fixed constraints and build a creative and performance engine that works within them. If your supplement brand is stuck in disapproval hell, the problem is usually structure and messaging, not the product itself.

The Smartest Way to Advertise CBD, Kratom & Cannabis: Why Programmatic Beats Meta, TikTok & Google

By Erin Schnittker Siemek on

- Category : Advertising

- Tags : 2022, affiliate, agency, automation

TL;DR

Programmatic advertising is the smartest way to market CBD, THC, and Kratom brands when platforms like Meta, TikTok, and Google block or heavily restrict your ads. By automating ad purchases across a vast network of websites, apps, and streaming platforms, programmatic delivers precise targeting to compliant 21+ audiences in legal markets while navigating complex regulations. At Forge, we pair programmatic campaigns with conversion-optimized websites and email flows to maximize every ad dollar. One of our THC Brands achieved 8.5X ROAS where traditional platforms would shut them down completely.

Key Points

• Programmatic advertising reaches compliant 21+ audiences in legal markets through advanced geo-targeting and contextual placement on cannabis-friendly sites.

• Compliance flexibility allows pre-approved creative workflows with real human reviewers instead of automated bots that instantly ban CBD or THC content.

• Cost-effectiveness comes from real-time bidding that secures premium ad spaces at lower costs while scaling budgets dynamically during peak seasons.

• Real-time optimization tracks granular metrics like click-through rates and conversions, allowing instant campaign adjustments for maximum ROAS.

• Multi-channel reach spans display ads, streaming video, connected TV, audio, and digital billboards for broader visibility than restricted social platforms.

Marketing CBD, THC, and alternative herbal products demands precision, compliance, and innovation in a landscape fraught with regulatory hurdles.

At Forge Digital Marketing, we’ve become experts in crafting compliant, high-revenue-generating strategies for these highly regulated industries, while also excelling in other regulated sectors like dietary supplements.

While platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Google Ads dominate mainstream marketing, their restrictive policies make them nearly unusable for CBD, THC, and Kratom brands (unless you’re willing to pay a ton out of pocket for LegitScript certifications).

Programmatic advertising, paired with strategic foundations like website conversion rate optimization and email nurturing, offers a powerful, flexible solution for both new customer acquisition as well as retargeting and retention.

In this post, I’ll explain why programmatic ads are the superior choice for marketing CBD, THC, and Kratom, and how Forge’s step-wise approach maximizes your marketing budget.

What is programmatic advertising for CBD, THC, and Kratom brands?

Programmatic advertising is like a smart, automated assistant that buys and sells digital ad space in real-time, using artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time bidding (RTB) systems.

Imagine an auction happening in milliseconds, where your ad competes to appear on websites, apps, or connected TV (CTV) platforms like streaming services (“Hey Mom, I’m on Roku!”).

Unlike TikTok, Facebook, and Google Ads, which lock you into their specific ecosystems (like social feeds), programmatic ads operate across a vast network of digital spaces (specifically unlocking targeting for 21+, legally viable placements).

This flexibility is a game-changer for CBD, THC, and Kratom brands navigating strict regulations, especially when paired with a well-optimized website and email follow-ups to capture every opportunity.

Why programmatic advertising outperforms TikTok, Facebook & Google for CBD & THC brands

1. Superior Precision Targeting for Compliant Audiences

TikTok, Facebook, and Google Ads offer targeting options, but their strict policies block or heavily restrict ads for CBD, THC, and Kratom. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) bans CBD and THC promotions outright, TikTok prohibits content related to controlled substances like Kratom or THC, and Google Ads requires pre-approval with tight restrictions, often rejecting campaigns for these products.

Programmatic advertising uses advanced targeting options like first-party data (information from your website visitors or customer lists) and contextual targeting (placing ads on relevant websites, like a cannabis blog for THC gummies).

✅ Reach compliant audiences

Adults 21+ in legal markets (e.g., Colorado, Oregon, California)
People actively browsing cannabis, CBD, Kratom, or wellness content
Visitors of cannabis-friendly publisher sites via contextual targeting
Retargeting past site visitors or engaged users using first-party data

This lets us reach compliant audiences, such as adults over 21 in states where CBD, THC, or Kratom is legal, like Colorado or Oregon. At Forge, we use platforms like StackAdapt or cannabis-specific ad networks like Safe-Reach to implement geo-targeting (focusing ads on specific regions) and exclusion filters, ensuring ads don’t appear in states where THC is prohibited.

✅ Use advanced geo-targeting

Show ads only in approved states (exclude restricted regions)
Target specific ZIP codes, cities, or delivery zones
Layer in time-of-day and device-based filters

Our targeting capabilities are robust – just check out these options:

Audience Type	Description
Cannabis consumers	Recreational or medical users based on browsing behavior
CBD buyers	Users shopping for CBD oil, gummies, or skincare
Health & wellness enthusiasts	People interested in supplements, pain relief, recovery
Alternative medicine seekers	Individuals exploring herbal remedies like Kratom
Retargeting segments	Past site visitors or add-to-cart users
Custom CRM uploads	Lookalikes from email lists or past purchasers
Contextual categories	Ad placements on cannabis blogs, product reviews, and more

At Forge, our Programmatic Ads Strategists don’t just “set and forget.” We:

Continuously analyze click-through rates, engagement, and conversions
Adjust targeting, creative, and bidding strategies in real time
Focus spend on high-intent, compliant audiences—not wasted impressions

2. Unmatched Compliance Flexibility

Compliance is a major challenge on TikTok, Facebook, and Google, where automated systems often flag or reject ads for CBD, THC, or Kratom, even when they meet legal standards.

For example, a TikTok ad mentioning “CBD oil” might be banned instantly, and Facebook’s review process can delay campaigns for weeks. Google’s strict rules often reject Kratom or THC ads due to their association with controlled substances, limiting creative options.

Here’s what we do to stay agile managing your ads here at Forge:

Pre-approved creative workflows

Ads are vetted in advance against an internal checklist to align as much as possible with state, FDA, and HIPAA guidelines*
No delays from automated moderation bots – we work with real humans at our ad exchange partners to get your ads pushed through and running
Reduce the risk of takedowns, blacklisting, or suspended accounts

*As a marketing agency, we make every effort to stay current with advertising regulations and platform policies. However, we are not a legal entity and cannot provide legal advice or assume liability for compliance-related outcomes. Clients are responsible for ensuring final legal approval when required.

We know how to strike the right balance between performance and policy. Instead of risky language like:

❌ “Relieves pain” or “Cures anxiety”

We use compliant alternatives like:

✅ “Supports relaxation”
✅ “Helps promote calm and wellness”

This keeps your ads compliant—without watering down your message.

At Forge, we’ve mastered crafting ads that promote CBD, THC, and Kratom responsibly, ensuring campaigns run smoothly without risking penalties—something social platforms struggle to deliver.

We also employ brand safety tools:

Ensure ads appear only on verified, reputable sites
Avoid associations with inappropriate or off-brand content
Customize rules for content exclusions or site categories

3. Cost-Effectiveness and Scalability

If an ad is rejected for policy violations, you’ve wasted time and money.

Programmatic advertising is like a budget-savvy shopper, automating ad purchases to secure premium ad spaces at lower costs.

By eliminating manual negotiations, we make it affordable for small to mid-sized CBD, THC, and Kratom brands to reach high-value audiences.

Real-time bidding allows us to adjust budgets dynamically, scaling campaigns up during peak seasons (like 4/20 for cannabis products) or down to save costs.

At Forge, we ensure your Shopify or WooCommerce store is conversion rate optimized (CRO)—fine-tuned with fast load times, clear product descriptions, and easy checkouts (e.g., trust signals like lab reports for CBD)—to boost return on ad spend (ROAS), the revenue earned per ad dollar.

We also set up email flows—automated emails like cart abandonment reminders—to nurture prospects who don’t buy immediately, ensuring your ad spend doesn’t leak through an unoptimized funnel. This step-wise approach maximizes every dollar spent.

4. Real-Time Optimization and Deeper Analytics

Programmatic advertising offers granular analytics, like a dashboard showing exactly how many people saw your Kratom ad, clicked it, or made a purchase.

We track these metrics in real-time, allowing instant tweaks—swapping out an underperforming ad creative or shifting budget to a high-performing cannabis blog.

Here are just a few of the core performance metrics you would receive to see how well your campaign is performing:

Metric	What it Measures	Benchmark / Context
CTR (Click-Through Rate)	% of users who click your ad after seeing it	0.10% is the industry baseline. Forge ads consistently exceed this—often achieving 0.15–0.30% for well-optimized creatives.
CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions)	How much it costs to show your ad 1,000 times	Varies by audience and vertical. Lower CPMs in broad prospecting; higher in niche cannabis segments.

These are tracked through pixel data and integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom landing pages:

Conversion Event	Campaign Type	What It Indicates
Add to Cart	Retargeting & Prospecting	User interest in a specific product. Forge segments audiences who add-to-cart but don’t purchase for retargeting.
Initiate / Begin Checkout	Retargeting	Stronger intent signal. Used to build high-value lookalike audiences.
Purchase / Order Complete	Retargeting (primarily)	Final sale value. Can be tracked with dynamic values for ROAS.
Landing Page Views	Prospecting	Measures qualified traffic and content engagement (deeper than a click).
Engaged Sessions (Time on Site + Scroll Depth)	Prospecting	Signals quality traffic even when no conversion occurs. Used to inform creative refinements.
Email Signups	Prospecting	Lead generation tactic for gated offers or future flows (especially useful for CBD/THC brands with limited remarketing).

At Forge, we use AI-driven insights to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) like engagement trends (e.g., how many users interact with your THC ad) or brand lift (how much your brand’s awareness grows).

With a CRO-optimized website ensuring clicks convert to sales and email flows nurturing non-converting visitors (e.g., sending a discount for a CBD tincture), we maximize ROAS, surpassing the limited, platform-specific data from TikTok, Facebook, or Google.

5. Diverse Channels and Broader Reach

Programmatic advertising spans display ads (banners on websites), video ads (commercials on streaming platforms), CTV (ads on smart TVs), in-game, audio and digital out-of-home (DOOH) (digital billboards in public spaces), reaching audiences on mainstream sites, cannabis-focused publications like Leafly or High Times, and streaming services.

Programmatic advertising gives your brand multi-channel visibility—across screens, devices, and even public spaces.

🔄 Where your ads can appear:

Channel	What It Means	Example
Display Ads	Banner ads on websites	Show Kratom promos on wellness blogs or cannabis news sites like Leafly or High Times
Video Ads	Short commercials before or during content	Run a CBD tincture ad on Roku, Hulu, or streaming fitness videos
CTV (Connected TV)	Full-screen TV ads on smart TVs	Target 21+ audiences relaxing at home with premium video spots
In-Game Ads	Banners or video spots inside mobile and console games	Great for reaching younger, engaged users in a compliant way
Audio Ads	Ads played during music or podcast streams	Place your CBD brand in front of podcast listeners on Spotify or Pandora
DOOH (Digital Out-of-Home)	Digital billboards and kiosks in public areas	Feature your THC brand on screens in dispensaries, gyms, or malls in legal states

We’ll select the perfect channel mix for your brand—think video ads for CBD tinctures on a streaming platform or display ads for Kratom on a wellness blog.

This diversity bridges niche and mainstream audiences, offering far greater reach than the restricted ecosystems of social platforms.

Tracking the effectiveness of outbound marketing campaigns and accurately measuring return on investment can be challenging compared to the more measurable metrics of digital marketing.

- Tags : 2022, affiliate, agency, automation

In the ever-evolving realm of e-commerce, staying at the forefront is essential for achieving success. One of the most powerful tools at your disposal is email marketing, and when it comes to seamlessly integrating it into your online store, Shopify stands out as a leader. Shopify merchants can leverage email marketing to distribute newsletters, receipts, promotions, and transactional emails such as abandoned cart recovery or welcome messages. However, with a plethora of email marketing apps available for Shopify, setting them up efficiently can be a challenge. It is crucial to acquire the knowledge of creating a successful email marketing campaign within the Shopify platform. In this ultimate guide for 2024, we’ll explore the ins and outs of Shopify email marketing to help you drive sales, build customer loyalty, and elevate your brand.

Why Email Marketing Matters?

Email marketing remains a cornerstone of online business strategies for a reason. It provides a direct line of communication with your customers, allowing you to nurture relationships, promote products, and drive sales. Here are some compelling reasons why email marketing should be a priority for your Shopify store:

1. Personalization and Targeting

Using Shopify will allow you to collect valuable customer data, enabling you to create highly targeted and personalized email campaigns. Tailoring your messages to specific customer segments can significantly increase engagement and conversions.

2. Automation for Efficiency

With Shopify’s robust automation tools, you can set up email sequences triggered by specific customer actions, such as abandoned carts, first-time purchases, or product views. This automation streamlines your marketing efforts, saving time and ensuring timely communication.

3. Building Customer Loyalty

Email marketing is an effective way to build and nurture customer loyalty. By delivering valuable content, exclusive offers, and personalized recommendations, you can turn one-time buyers into repeat customers and brand advocates.

4. Measurable Results

Shopify’s analytics and reporting features allow you to track the performance of your email campaigns. This data-driven approach helps you understand what works and what doesn’t, enabling continuous improvement.

What is Known as Shopify Email Marketing?

Engaging in Shopify email marketing involves selecting email campaigns as a key channel for promoting your brand. This strategy begins when visitors to your website willingly subscribe to receive communications from your brand via email.

This marketing channel enables you to build awareness and enhance customer loyalty through regular, non-intrusive email communication.

Explore the comprehensive Shopify marketing guide to discover techniques for:

Boosting lead generation
Enhancing open, click-through, and conversion rates
Implementing targeted Shopify automated emails, Shopify email templates, and more!

Shopify email marketing can be approached in two main ways:

Utilize a third-party email marketing service that seamlessly integrates with Shopify. The pricing and available features will vary depending on the chosen service.
Use Shopify Email Marketing app, developed directly by the Shopify team. This option provides a specific number of free monthly sends (up to 10,000 emails), and any additional emails beyond that allocation are charged at $0.001 per email.

Setting Up Your Shopify Email Marketing Strategy

Email outperforms all other channels in driving sales significantly. Given this, it’s essential to craft content that ensures your presence remains prominent in subscribers’ inboxes.

However, before delving into content creation, it’s crucial to comprehend the various types of email marketing.

In general, email marketing campaigns can be categorized into three main types:

Promotional emails – designed to secure sales.
Engagement emails – centered around brand values and top-of-mind awareness.
Automated emails – triggered by specific subscriber actions.

Pro Tip: Before finalizing your email campaign, it’s advisable to familiarize yourself with best practices in email design.

1. Collecting Subscribers:

Leverage Shopify’s built-in tools to collect email addresses from your store visitors. You can offer them incentives like discounts or exclusive content to encourage sign-ups.

2. Segmentation:

Divide your email list into segments based on customer behavior, preferences, or demographics. This type of segmentation will enable you to send targeted and relevant content to specific groups.

3. Compelling Content:

Craft compelling and visually appealing emails. Use Shopify’s customizable email templates to create branded and professional-looking campaigns. Incorporate engaging visuals, persuasive copy, and clear calls to action.

4. Automation Workflows:

Take advantage of Shopify’s automation features to set up workflows for various scenarios, such as welcome emails, abandoned cart reminders, and post-purchase follow-ups. Automation may ensure timely and relevant communication with your subscribers without manual intervention.

Advanced Strategies for Shopify Email Marketing

1. Dynamic Product Recommendations:

Implement dynamic product recommendations in your emails based on customers’ browsing and purchase history. This personalized touch can significantly increase the chances of conversion for your products.

2. Abandoned Cart Recovery:

Fine-tune your abandoned cart recovery emails to entice customers to complete their purchases. Consider offering discounts or highlighting the benefits of the products left in the cart.

3. Customer Feedback and Reviews:

Encourage customer feedback and reviews through email campaigns. Positive reviews can be showcased in future email campaigns, building trust and credibility.

4. A/B Testing:

Start experimenting with A/B testing to optimize your email campaigns. Test different subject lines, visuals, and calls to action to identify the most effective elements for your audience.

Compliance and Best Practices

1. GDPR Compliance:

Ensure that your email marketing practices comply with data protection regulations, such as GDPR. Obtain explicit consent for collecting and using customer data.

2. Mobile Optimization:

Given the prevalence of mobile users, optimize your emails for mobile devices. Shopify’s email templates are mobile-responsive, ensuring a seamless experience for users on smartphones and tablets.

3. Monitoring and Analysis:

Regularly monitor the performance of your email campaigns through Shopify analytics. Use the insights gained to refine your strategy and improve future campaigns.

How to Create Your Email List on Shopify?

Achieving success in Shopify email marketing begins with effectively growing your email list. Before you can initiate email campaigns, you need a base of subscribers. So, how do you convince individuals to sign up for your emails? Here are a few strategies:

Exit-Intent Pop-Ups: Utilize exit-intent pop-ups, a less intrusive method targeting visitors leaving your website without making a purchase. This approach effectively captures the attention of departing visitors, providing an excellent opportunity to convert them into valuable email subscribers.
Add an Opt-In Bar to Your Homepage: Complementing pop-ups, placing an opt-in email form directly on your homepage can entice users to subscribe. Positioning opt-in forms strategically, such as at the bottom of the page or in the footer, ensures visibility as visitors navigate through your site.
Create a Landing Page for Sign-up Forms: Design dedicated landing pages that motivate people to join your email list. These pages offer additional space to elaborate on your products or highlight the benefits of subscribing. Including social proof, such as testimonials or subscriber counts, enhances credibility.
Run a Contest and Announce a Giveaway: Engage your audience by organizing contests that encourage email sign-ups. Contests, being highly shareable, can effectively promote your Shopify store through word of mouth. Ensure the prize is appealing, incorporate social media sharing buttons, and create a theme relevant to your target market.
Give Them What They Want: Offer incentives for joining your email list that may not necessarily be tied to an ecommerce transaction. Understand your audience’s challenges and provide content that helps them resolve issues while subtly directing them to your products. This approach not only encourages sign-ups but also positions your brand as an authority in your niche.

In addition to these strategies, consider leveraging the expertise of an email marketing agency. Choose an agency with a good reputation, aligning with your budget and schedule, to enhance the effectiveness of your Shopify email marketing efforts.

Types of Shopify Email Campaigns

1) Introduction to Welcome Emails

One of the most effective ways to engage with new email subscribers is by promptly sending an automated “welcome email” upon their registration. These initial test emails play a pivotal role in shaping the tone and character of your email interactions with the subscriber, underscoring the need to accord them the highest priority.

Neglecting to dispatch welcome emails to new subscribers equates to overlooking a valuable opportunity and potentially forfeiting substantial revenue.

Shopify welcome emails serve the additional purpose of establishing clear expectations for your email communication practices. This involves detailing the types of emails you intend to send and specifying the frequency of their delivery.

2) Confirmation of Orders via Email

Emails confirming orders, similar to other automated messages by Shopify admin such as welcome emails, thank-you emails, or confirmation emails, go beyond being a mere formality to inform your customers about the transaction. They also serve as an excellent means to build a connection with your customers.

Utilizing personalization is a fantastic strategy to ensure that your Shopify order confirmation email comes across as genuinely sincere to your customers!

3) Emails for Abandoned Carts

Utilize Shopify’s abandoned cart emails to reconnect, communicate, and establish connections with individuals who abandon their carts without finalizing their purchases. Various factors contribute to cart abandonment on Shopify.

In conclusion, Shopify email marketing is a potent tool for driving engagement and sales. By leveraging the platform’s features, personalizing your communication, and adhering to best practices, you can create powerful marketing emails that propel your Shopify store to new heights in 2024. Stay connected, stay relevant, and watch your business thrive in the competitive world of e-commerce.

6 Tips for Hiring a Facebook Advertising Agency

By Erin Schnittker Siemek on

June 21, 2023

- Category : Advertising, eCommerce

- Tags : 2022, affiliate, agency, automation

Recent statistics reveal that there are 2.96 billion monthly active users on Facebook. Further, the average adult is on Facebook for approximately 30.1 minutes daily.

That makes Facebook an ideal place to advertise. Not only is it brilliant because of the volume of users, but Facebook also can hone in on users who are more likely to buy your product or solution. This means you can get a better ROI for your marketing dollars.

To optimize results, you need to hire a superior Facebook advertising agency. There are many agencies, and all will deliver a variation in results. Rather than finding a diamond in the rough, target your search in a way that will help you uncover the ideal vendor to partner with.

To find the one who can perform the best for your business and market, keep reading and follow these smart tips.

1. Ensure They Offer the Services You Need

Not all Facebook advertising agencies are the same. You will find variations in what they can and can’t do. Therefore, you must work with one who will handle your needed services.

Such services include copywriting, ad design, bid optimization, target market research, and campaign management. Think about what precisely you need a vendor to handle with your Facebook advertising and check their proposals that it has exactly what you expect. This will also help you allocate your budget appropriately.

2. Research the Agency’s Online Reputation

It will be a critical part of your digital marketing strategy and directly impact sales. Before spending on Facebook ads, vet the Facebook advertising agency thoroughly. This can be from reviews on Google and reviews on Facebook.

You can also check other online sources like Indeed and Glassdoor to see what employees say. When users can leave unsolicited feedback online, they will get an authentic look at how the agency operates. This will give you a sense of their reputation.

Indeed, ask the agency directly for references, too. During your research, you must contact their past clients and ask how they performed with the services you are interested in. You will want to hear firsthand how they function and how they can help you.

3. Ask for Case Studies

You want to work with a Facebook advertising agency that has been in business for a while. It is essential to choose a partner with experience. While researching the firm, ask them to provide you with case studies.

Not only that, but ask about their past results. They should be able to point to results from a current or past client that proves they will do an excellent job. If they cannot give you a specific example, take that as a red flag.

4. Request Details on Which Target Audiences They Have Experience in

Every client will have their specific demographics to contact when advertising on Facebook. This includes age ranges, gender, location, etc. Therefore, you want the agency to provide details on the audiences they have experience with.

Finding an agency with expertise in your target audience is critical for success. They should have experience in what will work well to grab the attention of your potential customers. Ask the name of the brand with a similar target audience to yours, and request an example of the Facebook ad they ran for them.

5. Discuss Your Budget

You should have an amount set aside for your Facebook ads. Not only that, but you will need to pay the agency. Before reaching a final agreement, you must discuss your budget.

This will also directly impact your success. Your advertising spend will dictate the size and scope of the project. Many agencies have packages to help you select the best service offering, while others can charge by the hour.

You will want to clarify how they charge before you begin working together. If they offer “package” deals, choosing a package that includes what you need is vital.

Check that you are not purchasing one with line items that won’t help you. This will only take up resources for things you do not need.

Choose wisely, and dedicate your spending to where it matters most.

6. Get the Support You Need

For every Facebook ad you run, you want each one to help you grow your business. A successful partnership means the agency is on the same page as you. This includes ongoing support.

When you have questions or want to change a campaign, you need a representative to help you. The agency should be able to respond to you quickly by phone or email. Please don’t wait and see about their customer experience.

During your initial discussions, ask about ongoing support. Ask how they handle issues with their customers should they arise.

Find the Best Facebook Advertising Agency

They say that you must spend money to make money. While you spend, you need the reassurance that you will create revenue as a result. Following this advice can generate results in your digital marketing efforts.

A Facebook advertising agency is a crucial component in boosting revenue. Make sure they offer the services you need, research their reputation and past results, choose a firm with experience, and work together on a budget to meet your needs.

Forge is a digital marketing company that will meet your requirements. That’s because we obsess over forging growth. We evaluate your business and create a plan according to your unique needs.

Get a creative digital strategy that will maximize your reach. Boost your traffic and online revenue. At Forge, you get the service your company deserves.

A Quick Guide to Digital Marketing for Your Cannabis Company

By Erin Schnittker Siemek on

November 21, 2022

- Category : Advertising, SEO

- Tags : 2022, affiliate, agency, automation

Cannabis is no longer the countercultural staple it used to be. With legalization sweeping the nation and statistics saying that nearly 1/5th of all Americans have used cannabis, this substance is becoming an essential part of our everyday lives. If you run a cannabis company, you might be wondering how to use cannabis marketing ideas to boost your business. The legal cannabis business is new, so there aren’t many tried and true marketing plans out there. Keep reading, and we’ll give you the top cannabis marketing tips to succeed in the market today.

Get Everything Online

First things first, you need to make sure you’re making use of online marketing. Attention simply just doesn’t go out into the “real world” anymore. You can buy the biggest billboard in the world. People won’t notice it because their attention is all on their phones. Digital marketing can be as complicated as a pay-per-click plan or as simple as making posts on social media. No matter what your budget is, you can promote yourself through the world of online marketing.

Consider Using SEO

SEO, or search engine optimization, is a little marketing technique you’ve probably never heard about. But to make it big in the digital age, you’ll have to understand SEO tactics. SEO is all about optimizing your page to appear high on search engine results. Plenty of businesses are buried just because people don’t want to scroll down a page. Less than one percent of all users make it to the second page of a search engine result. If you want to stand out, you have to be one of the top results. The key to SEO is “keywords.” These are the specific phrases that people use when searching for a particular good or service. Search engines look at specifics, not generals, so you’re far more likely to succeed if you can figure out exactly how your potential customers are searching for your products. There are many tactics to improve SEO, but the most common is to produce blog content that repeatedly embeds specific keywords into the content to boost search engine results. However, don’t use too many; Google calls this process “keyword-stuffing” and will punish your ranking for this.

Seek out Display Advertising

It’s hard to get the reach and impressions you deserve when marketing cannabis on Facebook or Instagram isn’t possible due to community guidelines. Cannabis companies face marketing challenges and adversity online. But there are solutions specifically tailored to advertising Cannabis or THC products online. One of these solutions is Programmatic Display Advertising. This solution allows us to run ads for our cannabis clients to those with interests in all things THC! We can target those with search intent to prospect new customers or run retargeting ads to those who have already visited your site to encourage them to come back and check out, often times with a click-enticing offer.

Set up Email Automation

Your foundation for a well operating THC company selling online should be strong email marketing and email automation practices. Klaviyo is our favorite ecommerce email marketing platform and bonus points: they whitelisted cannabis to run on their platform (as long as you’re not making outlandish medical claims of course). Through establishing proper flows like a welcome sequence, abandoned cart flow and customer winback sequences, as well as ongoing timely email campaigns you can expect 20-30% of your revenue to come from this channel.

Brand You or Your Company

Running a company doesn’t mean running a brand. A brand has a specific identity; a company is made into an identity. Making yourself into a brand is key to spreading your business. You’re letting your customers advertise for you by branding your business correctly. Just take a look at the perfect example of branding apple. Their sleek designs align with their message of simplicity, progress, and efficiency. In their stores, employees wear t-shirts and are instructed to speak to customers casually. The result of this is that every apple product is immediately identifiable. It relates to a way of living. As soon as someone sees one of these products, they’re reminded of Apple. You can create a great brand by making advertisements that don’t just focus on the bottom line but are memorable, quotable, and feature unique visuals. You can even put these visuals on shirts, creating walking advertisements.

Know Your Customers Well

Cannabis is so popular now that you can’t rely on one type of person to populate your business. Many cannabis businesses focus on a sort of “stoner” image. This can work if your customers are young, countercultural figures. However, it’s not the only game in town. More and more older people are using cannabis to aid symptoms of certain health conditions. This means a discomfort-relieving, family-friendly image is possible for new cannabis companies. You’re engaging in niche marketing when you find out exactly who your customers are and market to them. In the 21st century, this is a crucial tactic. People are tired of big, general advertisements aimed at everyone; they want someone to appeal to them. Take the time to get to know your regular customers by name. If you can identify them and provide them with specialized services, they’re more likely to recommend their friends.

Don’t Make Claims Without Evidence

While cannabis is legal in many states, it’s not legal everywhere. It’s also a drug. We don’t mean this in a moral way; it’s a medical product, just like Nyquil or Advil; drugs have certain restrictions placed on them. You have to make sure that you don’t make any claims that cannabis can treat things that it hasn’t been proven to treat. Anecdotal evidence is not enough, and any story, book, or documentary about cannabis “curing cancer” should not be followed; you need to go by scientific studies. Generally, cannabis hasn’t been found to cure anything. However, it can treat the symptoms caused by plenty of problems. When it comes to conditions like arthritis or anxiety (where the symptoms cause medical issues), it’s highly effective. Make sure you don’t claim that cannabis treats “pain”; you’ll enter some murky legal territory. Instead, suggest that it “alleviates discomfort.” While claiming certain things like this will undoubtedly increase attention, it’s not worth it for the legal ramifications.

Marketing for Your Cannabis Company

As you can see, marketing for the world of cannabis obeys many of the same principles as marketing for the rest of the business world. The big exception is that there are specific claims you can’t make for cannabis. For more information on marketing, whether for a cannabis company or otherwise, contact us today.

Beauty Marketing 101: The Dos and Don’ts

You’ve created top-notch beauty products and are ready to show them to the world, and you couldn’t be more excited about the impact they’re going to have on consumers. But how do you go about marketing them successfully?

Marketing (especially digital marketing!) can make or break your business, and it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the best tactics to use as well as the worst ones to avoid.

Keep reading for a guide to beauty marketing that will help you promote your beauty brand while making it outshine the competition.

Marketing for Beauty Businesses

Since the beginning of the pandemic, marketing has seen an even larger shift to online content. While in-person marketing tactics are still super useful, many of these tips highlight digital methods that will increase your sales in no time.

When consumers think about buying something, they often go straight to the web and type in a question or specific item to be found. If you want your products to be considered, you’ll want to create engaging content that’s easy to find, offer insightful information, and build a sense of community that others want to be a part of.

The Dos

There are so many marketing tactics that can help boost your beauty business to where you want it to be. Here’s a look at the things you should make an effort to tackle first.

Use Social Media

Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and TikTok are essential for getting your beauty products seen by people all over the world.

Start with one or two platforms and begin cultivating a following by posting consistent high-quality images and videos of your products, giving your audience valuable information about why they should choose them.

Create an Easy-to-Use Website

If you don’t already have a site where people can go to find out about your business and purchase your products, it’s time to build one!

Web design for beauty companies is a key factor since so many people are purchasing their beauty products online these days.

Make sure the website has detailed product descriptions, a contact page, and easy ways for customers to buy your items. The more engaging and visually pleasing your site is, the better!

Develop a Unique Brand

Let’s say you’re selling lipsticks. There are a lot of other lipsticks out there to choose from, so you need to tell consumers why they should choose you over your competition. This all starts with creating a unique brand.

How do your products stand out against others? What makes your company special? For example, maybe your products are all made of organic ingredients, or you donate a percentage of every purchase to an organization that’s important to you.

Look for things that make you unique from other beauty retailers, and highlight those things so customers are more likely to purchase from you.

Include Testimonials

Consumers are much more likely to trust a product if they read reviews from real people telling them it’s great.

When people leave positive reviews for your product or post on social media raving about one of your beauty items, take advantage of this! Post testimonials on your website and your own social media page so consumers can read and view them when doing their own research.

Utilize Tiktok and Instagram Ads

TikTok is a social media app that has more than 500 million monthly active users. It allows users to create short videos with fun effects and then share them on the platform. TikTok is an excellent tool for beauty brands to advertise their products because it is a visual-based platform.

The TikTok app has become one of the best platforms for beauty brands to advertise their products. It’s a visual-based app, which means that it’s perfect for marketing makeup, skincare, and other beauty products.

Deploy Google Shopping Ads

Google Shopping Ads are a great way for beauty brands to increase their visibility and sales. They allow you to promote your products on Google Search and Google Product Listing Ads.

The Don’ts

While there are marketing strategies that help your business make its mark, there are also things to watch out for. Here are a handful of marketing points to avoid.

Focus on Follower Counts Instead of Audience Relationships

If your beauty business is all about social media, it can be easy to get wrapped up in how many followers you have. But when you’re only focused on your follower count, you may be gaining more followers without those followers turning into buyers.

People want to feel valued and like a real part of your beauty company’s community. One of the best ways to foster this sense of community is to make an effort to interact with users, whether that’s by liking their comments, responding to direct messages, etc.

Underestimate the Power of Quality Content

With so much content out there vying for people’s attention, people want to spend their time reading and watching content that’s going to offer them something of value in return.

Try to make any content you put out (blog posts, videos, social media live streams) as informative and engaging as possible. Give a tutorial, answer questions from followers, or create other educational content that draws consumers in and leads to them trusting your brand.

Respond Negatively to Feedback

It can be difficult to know how to respond to negative feedback, whether it comes in the form of a negative social media comment, angry customer service call, or poor product review.

Remember to always respond in a professional tone, as you’re representing not only yourself but your entire business. Work to give every customer a positive experience, but also remember not to take negative comments personally.

Forget About SEO

SEO, or search engine optimization, is a crucial part of any marketing strategy. If your website or blog posts don’t rank highly in a Google search, it’s going to be trickier for potential buyers to find your business.

Optimize your content so that it contains the keywords necessary to show up in searches. If you’re unsure of how to get started with SEO, there are experienced and professional companies out there who are more than willing to help!

A Beauty Marketing Guide to Unstoppable Success

Don’t let beauty marketing leave you feeling stressed and uncertain. By following these marketing dos and don’ts, your business will flourish.

Heart Worthy Instagram Ideas for Beauty Brands

By Erin Schnittker Siemek on

About 1.22 billion people use Instagram each month, with users ages 18 to 34 taking up 60% of Instagram’s audience. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of adults use Instagram daily, nearly 30 minutes a day.

Adding Instagram to your cosmetic social media marketing strategy can help you expand your reach online. With the right Instagram ideas, you can help your beauty brand stand out from the crowd.

Not sure where to start? Read on to discover the top Instagram content ideas you need to add to your beauty brand marketing strategy this year!

Create Helpful Tutorials

When creating content for Instagram, it’s important to focus on quality over quantity. Posting quality, helpful posts will help you stand out from your competitors. It can also help encourage consumers to come back to your account for more tips.

Once they realize you post the beauty tips and tricks they need, they’ll follow your account for more!

Start by creating helpful video tutorials for your audience.

Consumers don’t want to learn about the products you offer; they want to know how to use them. Tutorials have high engagement rates. They can also help you promote products without off-putting sales language.

Instead of sales language, you can highlight the value you’re offering through your beauty products.

For example, you can show consumers how your beauty products can hide acne or create a natural look. You can demonstrate how they can line their eyes or contour their faces, too.

As you start reviewing these Instagram content ideas, keep your unique value proposition in mind. Highlighting your unique value will set you apart from competing brands.

Pay attention to the questions your customers are asking. Then, create tutorial content that helps demonstrate an easy solution.

Post Quality Images

Successful beauty social media marketing relies on high-quality images. Otherwise, your brand might look cheap. Make sure to avoid unbranded stock images, too.

Consider working with an experienced social media marketing agency to start creating graphics for your brand.

You’re no longer limited to posting still images, though. In fact, nearly 87% of all Instagram users post Stories. About 60% of millennials either post or watch Stories, while 70% of Gen Z watch Stories.

Meanwhile, 36% of businesses use Stories to promote their products. Businesses are responsible for creating one-third of the most-viewed Stories as well. A quarter of Gen Z and millennials use Stories to find products and services to buy in the future.

Share User-Generated Content

User-generated content (UGC) is content your customers have posted regarding your brand. You can start mixing UGC into your feed for more authenticity. UGC can show on-the-fence consumers people love your beauty brand.

Consider sharing before and after photos of people using your content, too.

Otherwise, start working with influencers! Influencers can promote your beauty products, helping you reach new customers.

Make sure you’re choosing beauty influencers who already have strong, loyal followings.

Host a Contest or Giveaway

As you explore the latest beauty brand marketing ideas, consider hosting a contest or giveaway. Contests can help you boost brand engagement. You could even start reaching people who are unaware of your brand.

For example, you can tell your followers that tagging three friends in the post will add their submission to the contest. As more people tag their friends, your post will appear in their notifications. Then, you can get even more people engaged with your brand.

Remain Inclusive

Make sure you appeal to all consumers. Inclusivity will ensure you don’t neglect any portion of your target audience.

Show diversity in your posts with UGC or models of every skin tone, body type and sexuality. After all, it’s not just about marketing, it’s the right thing to do. Your customers are different and unique in every way; treat them as such.

Use Stickers for Interactive Content

As you start reviewing your list of Instagram Story ideas, don’t forget to create interactive content. You can use polls, emoji sliders, and quizzes to encourage people to engage with your brand.

You can also use these stickers to learn more about your target audience.

Maintain Brand Consistency

Make sure you’re remaining true to your brand as you begin applying these Instagram ideas. Brand consistency will help awareness and recognition grow.

Use the same color palette, font, and imagery styles throughout your posts. Make sure your Instagram branding matches what appears on your website, too.

Go Live

Looking for more Instagram Story ideas? Consider going live! Live video sessions are a great way to engage your audience in real-time.

For example, you can host a weekly Q&A session to let consumers ask questions about your products.

Remember, offering them immediate help could encourage them to trust your brand further.

Respond ASAP

Once you start using these Instagram ideas, make sure you remain accessible.

One of the top benefits of using social media is having the ability to communicate with your customers. People who love and use your brand can reach out through direct messages or by commenting on your posts. As you receive questions, feedback, and complaints, make sure to respond in a timely manner.

If people have to wait too long for you to respond, they might get frustrated.

Quick responses can show consumers you’re there to help.

Create a Branded Hashtag

Create a branded hashtag and encourage your customers to use it when posting about your products. Then, you can start building your library of user-generated content. Having a branded hashtag will show other consumers how many people love your brand, too.

Analyze and Adjust

Once you start using these Instagram ideas, review your analytics. Which posts help you generate the most engagement? Review how many comments, impressions, shares, and saves you generate.

Think about the content format (Stories, still images, etc.), hashtags, and topics you’ve used as well.

Then, use your data to determine what kind of content to create in the future. You’ll know exactly what kind of content your followers want from you, too.

Adjusting your Instagram content strategy accordingly can help you generate more leads, followers, and sales.

Lots of Likes: Start Using These Effective Instagram Ideas Today

Improving your beauty brand marketing strategy with these Instagram ideas can help you reach new customers. As brand awareness grows, you could start gaining a loyal following. In time, consumers will start to rely on you for their favorite beauty tips and tricks.
