Paid social and retargeting, from first look to enquiry

Most people don’t enquire the first time they see your business. A homeowner planning a new driveway, or an installer weighing up a new supplier, will look, leave and come back, often more than once.

Paid social puts your work in front of the right people in the first place. Display advertising introduces your business across relevant websites and apps. Retargeting brings your adverts back to people who’ve already visited your website, with something more useful each time, and stops once they’ve enquired.

Homestyle Windows: paid social for homeowners in the South East

  1. The brief

    Homestyle Windows is a retail window and door installer with ambitious growth plans. It needed a stronger paid media strategy to bring in more good-quality leads.

  2. The campaign

    Purplex took responsibility for the paid media plan: consultancy, paid social advertising and creative design, aimed at affluent homeowners across South East England.

    500+ leads a month since Purplex took on the plan.

    870+ leads in a traditionally quiet month.

Adverts that give customers a reason to enquire

Your advertising needs to give people a reason to choose you over another supplier. We’d rather show the detail of a great installation or demonstrate a product advantage than rely on a stock photo and a vague promise.

  2. Instead of “Precision engineered”

  3. Instead of “A team you can rely on”

You get the adverts and the people to run them in one place.

Copy, design and video are made alongside the targeting and campaign management, so you’re not coordinating separate suppliers or briefing the same idea twice.

Campaigns built around the customers you want

Your campaign is planned around the business you want to win: the products or services you’re promoting, the areas you cover and the customers you can help. Your targeting, creative and offer all need to make sense to those people.

Our creative and website teams carry that through after the click, showing your products and completed work clearly and giving customers the confidence to enquire. What matters is the opportunities your campaign creates, not how many names it collects.

  1. Audience and offer

    Your campaign starts with what you want to sell, who you want to reach and why those customers should pick you over the alternatives.

  2. Creative development and testing

    Your adverts are written, designed and filmed by our creative team, then tested against each other, so the response decides which ideas get more of your budget.

  3. Budget and priorities

    You’ll see where your spend is producing a worthwhile response and where the campaign needs to change, within the budget you’ve agreed.

  4. Enquiry quality and cost

    You’ll know what each enquiry costs. Tell us which ones turned into work, and the targeting and creative get sharper.

How does paid social differ from organic social?

Paid social lets you buy advertising space and select an audience for your campaign, including people who don’t follow your business. Organic social covers the content you publish through your own accounts. We handle either or both.

Do you create the adverts as well as manage the campaign?

Yes. Our creative, content, video and paid-media specialists develop your adverts and manage your campaign. If you already have good creative, we’ll look at using or adapting it.

Can retargeting help when customers take time to decide?

Retargeting keeps your business visible to people who have already visited your website. Your adverts might show them completed work, product information or an offer that encourages them to return. Suitability depends on your audience size, platforms and the data and permissions available.

Which platforms do you advertise on?

We advertise across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, alongside display advertising and retargeting across other websites and apps. The mix depends on who you’re trying to reach. Homeowners and trade buyers don’t always spend their time in the same places.

How quickly will a campaign bring in enquiries?

Paid social reaches people as soon as a campaign goes live, but the first weeks show which audiences, adverts and offers bring the right response. We review that early activity closely and adjust before putting more budget behind what’s working.
