The work
One of the important things we had to bear in mind that for TPC, the lead quality was much more important than the quantity since the main target audience was high net worth individuals who had a significant amount of spare capital to invest.
What we also had to bear in mind is that these leads had a higher tolerance to risk as trading is essentially a higher risk proposition than other forms of capital growth tools such as long term investing or savings.
Since we have the experience of having managed over 2k projects carried out several lead and sales generation campaigns in the finance sector, we knew from our experience and past data that Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are likely going to be the best drivers of qualified leads here.
On Facebook and Instagram, we created tens of audience groups highly segmented into interests and behaviours which are likely to result in qualified leads.
We had to be careful not to end up targeting people who only liked the aforementioned brands on an aspirational basis with no current buying power which is where taking the time to brainstorm and do some creative matching comes in.
For example, we were able to create mini groups of audiences that are interested in trading but also hire jets or are customers of brands such as Rolex or Maserati. This way we weren’t only targeting people who were interested in trading but may not be the right f it (or even have spare capital) or liked a Rolex watch but wouldn’t be able to afford it.
LinkedIn was the 2nd platform of choice for its ability to allow targeting on a profession basis.
Since the target professions were doctors, lawyers and other high paying jobs, we were able to target those people on LinkedIn but then using additional qualification tools to make sure they’re interested in trading, too.
