In today’s crowded digital space, running ads isn’t enough — you need ad strategies that actually convert. At CHI-Exclusive Hub, we help brands create smart advertising funnels that turn clicks into customers.
So, if you’ve been burning money on ads with little or no results, this blog is for you. Let’s show you the Instagram and Facebook ad strategies that bring real, qualified leads in 2025.
Why Instagram & Facebook Still Work
With over 250 million Africans active on Meta platforms, Instagram and Facebook remain powerful tools for:
- Driving awareness
- Building trust
- Generating high-converting leads
But here’s the secret — success comes down to strategy, not budget.
Top 6 Instagram & Facebook Ad Strategies That Actually Work
1. Laser-Focused Audience Targeting
Stop targeting “everyone.” Instead, get specific:
- Use Custom Audiences (retarget people who visited your website)
- Use Lookalike Audiences (target people similar to your best customers)
- Layer interests, location, and behavior for super-precise reach
Example: A fashion vendor can target women aged 20–35 in Lagos who follow style influencers and shop online.

2. Hook-Based Creatives
You have 3 seconds to grab attention. Your image or video must hook the viewer instantly.
Tips:
- Use short videos with bold text overlays
- Start with a question: “Tired of low sales?”
- Show quick transformations (before vs. after)
Bonus: Use customer testimonials as ad creatives!
3. Offer-Driven Copy
People don’t scroll Facebook to buy — they buy when they see value.
Write ad copy that:
- Solves a problem
- Offers a clear benefit
- Includes an urgency trigger
Example:
“Struggling to get customers online? Get our FREE business toolkit and start converting leads today. Offer ends Sunday!”
4. Lead Ads + Messenger Chatbot Combo
Instead of sending users to a website, try Facebook Lead Ads or Messenger bots to collect details directly in the app.
Why it works:
- Less friction = more leads
- You can automate replies and qualify leads instantly
- You control the conversation
Pro tip: Use a CHI-Exclusive chatbot to follow up and schedule a call with live agents automatically.
5. Retargeting Warm Audiences
Only 2% of cold traffic converts right away. The rest? You need to retarget them.
Set up retargeting ads for people who:
- Watched 50%+ of your video
- Visited your product or landing page
- Added items to cart but didn’t buy
👉 Retarget with testimonials, discounts, or urgency-based messages.
6. A/B Testing Everything
Never assume what will work. Instead:
- Test different images/videos
- Try short vs. long captions
- Experiment with CTA buttons (“Send Message” vs. “Learn More”)
Track what works, kill what doesn’t, and scale what converts.
Bonus Tips
- Run ads during peak hours (evenings and weekends in Nigeria work best)
- Use WhatsApp CTA for instant engagement
- Keep landing pages fast and mobile-optimized
- Collect emails and phone numbers — leads are assets
