Create Killer Facebook Ads with These Copywriting Formats


October 15, 202311 min read

Did you know that there are different copywriting formats you can use in your Facebook ads that can help you create the perfect copy?

Well, in this post, I'm going to discuss four popular formats - AIDA, BAB, PAS and SLAP - and provide an example of each one.

 

The first copywriting format you can use for ads is called the AIDA format and it stands for Attention, Interest, Desire and Action. The purpose of this format is to grab the viewer's attention, create interest in your product or service, build desire for it, and encourage them to take action.

 

Let's take an example of an online coach who has a Mastermind program to level up entrepreneurs sales strategies.

 

(ATTENTION:) Are you feeling stuck in your sales strategy, and not seeing the results you desire? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs face this challenge, and it can be frustrating when you're putting in the effort but not seeing the growth you want.

 

(INTEREST:) But the good news is, there is a solution. Our Mastermind program is designed to help you level up your sales strategy and achieve the success you've been striving for.

 

With our proven methods and expert coaching, you'll gain the confidence and skills necessary to take your sales strategy to new heights. We'll provide you with the tools you need to create a winning sales plan, attract and convert more leads, and close more deals.

 

(DESIRE:) Our Mastermind program is designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to take their business to the next level. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for years, our program is tailored to meet your needs and help you achieve your goals.

 

As part of the program, you'll have access to a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who are also focused on growth and success. You'll be able to share your experiences, ask questions, and receive support from others who are on the same journey as you.

 

Our program is led by experienced coaches who have a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals. They'll provide you with personalized guidance and support, and help you overcome any challenges or obstacles that may be holding you back.

 

(ACTION:) Don't miss out on this opportunity to transform your business. Sign up for our Mastermind program today and start seeing the results you deserve. Let us help you level up your sales strategy and achieve your business goals.

 

NOTE: Do not put the words in the brackets in your ad, that is just to show you what part of the formula they are.

 

Next up is the BAB format. The BAB copywriting formula is a technique used in marketing and advertising to create compelling messages that resonate with the target audience. BAB stands for Before, After, and Bridge, and it helps marketers to structure their copy in a way that connects with the reader's emotions and desires.

 

Here’s an example of some possible ad copy for the same online coach mentioned previously.

 

(BEFORE:) Before you joined the world of entrepreneurship, you had a vision for the future you wanted to create. You dreamed of the impact you could make and the lifestyle you could achieve. But as time has gone on, you've realized that your sales strategy isn't quite cutting it. Despite your efforts, you're not seeing the results you want, and it's holding you back from achieving your goals.

 

But don't worry, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle to take their sales strategy to the next level. It can be frustrating when you're putting in the effort but not seeing the growth you want. However, the good news is, there is a solution.

 

(AFTER:) After all, imagine if you could create a sales strategy that not only generated more leads and conversions but also helped you achieve the lifestyle and impact you always dreamed of. Imagine if you could finally break free from the limitations that have been holding you back and create a business that truly reflects your vision and values.

 

(BRIDGE:) Our Mastermind program is designed to help you achieve just that. With our proven methods and expert coaching, you'll gain the confidence and skills necessary to take your sales strategy to new heights.

Next, we have the PAS format. PAS stands for Problem, Agitation, and Solution. The purpose of this format is to identify a problem that your target audience is experiencing, agitate it, and then offer a solution that can help them.

 

Here's an example of a Facebook™ ad copy for the online coach in PAS format:

 

(Problem:) Are you tired of putting in effort into your sales strategy but not seeing the results you want? Are you feeling frustrated and stuck in your business growth?

 

(Agitation:) It can be discouraging when you're not seeing the growth you want, despite putting in the effort. It can make you feel like you're spinning your wheels, and prevent you from achieving the success you deserve. You know you're capable of achieving more, but you're just not sure how to make it happen.

With our proven methods and expert coaching, you'll gain the confidence and skills necessary to take your sales strategy to new heights.

Lastly, we have the SLAP copywriting formula. The SLAP copywriting formula is a framework used to create effective and persuasive marketing copy. SLAP stands for Stop, Look, Act, and Purchase, and it is designed to grab the reader's attention, hold their interest, and encourage them to take action.

 

And again, here is an example of the SLAP formula for the online coach.

 

(Stop:) Are you struggling to make sales despite putting in the effort? Do you feel like you're stuck in a rut and can't seem to achieve the growth you desire? It's time to stop spinning your wheels and start achieving the success you deserve.

And that's it for the different copywriting formulas for Facebook™ ads!

 

Remember to choose the format that suits your brand and message the best. And your copy may not be as long as the examples I shared... you'll have to test to see if your audience likes short form or long form copy best.

 

Whether it's AIDA, BAB, PAS, or SLAP the key is to grab the viewer's attention, create interest, build desire, and encourage them to take action.
