How Do I Create A Tinder Ad?

Tinder’s, and any other dating app’s, ads are comprised of 5 basic elements:

• An Image
• A URL
• A Headline
• A Caption
• A CTA

Sound like a social post? It’s similar! These ads should be optimized to be eye-catching and easy to read. Most people will swipe fairly quickly, so you want a clear, concise headline and memorable image. Keep your audience’s perspective in mind. What aspect of your business will capture their interest the quickest? Use high-quality images and save the headline for the most essential information while the caption does the heavy-lifting for extra details. Use emoticons to convey mood and tone quickly. Keep your ads’ “frequency” high enough to let your audience see your ads a few times a day, but don’t contribute to ad fatigue.Need an expert strategist to help you build a content marketing plan that’ll have your audience “swipe right” on your business?
