Canvas and Carousel: Discover two ad formats to create killer campaigns on Facebook

Did you know that over 900 million people access Facebook every day and that 70% of them are connected to at least one business page?

With such impressive numbers, it's no wonder the social network has become one of the most widely used platforms by marketing professionals. Today, at least 93% of the most respected marketing professionals in Brazil and around the world already use Facebook in their campaigns. To attract these professionals and drive results, Facebook offers increasingly diverse and interactive ad formats. Learn about two ad formats for creating killer Facebook Marketing campaigns:

Canvas

The rise in mobile access has created a challenge not only for website developers but also for advertisers. According to Facebook's own data, 80% of the social network's users access the platform via mobile devices.

With this audience in mind, Facebook Marketing launched the Canvas ad format earlier this year, designed specifically for mobile devices, with the goal of providing a memorable experience for users as they discover new brands and products.

The main new feature of Canvas is its post-click feature, which allows you to create campaigns with an immersive full-screen layout and fully customizable multimedia content. It allows advertisers to create multiple stories and present their brand and products in a broader and more creative way.

Canvas works like this: when a user clicks on an ad, a full screen opens, which can combine images, videos, text, and call-to-action buttons. It also allows you to insert image carousels, explore panoramic images, or even zoom in to see every detail. All this with the same photo and video loading speed as Facebook.

Carousel

Carousel is a format that allows you to create ads with sequences of up to 10 different images or videos, providing the user with a more interactive experience.

Also called multi-product functionality, the great advantage of the Carousel format is precisely this: the possibility of displaying more than one product in the same ad, which multiplies the return on investment by reducing the cost per conversion, in addition to allowing the advertiser to tell several stories in the same ad or even fragment them sequentially to increase user engagement with the campaign.

Another attractive feature of the format for advertisers is the ability to measure the performance of the cards that make up the Carousel individually, as Facebook allows you to create different URLs, descriptions, and links for each image.

The Carousel runs on both desktop and mobile devices, with users simply clicking an arrow to see more products.

Social Media Management that Builds Brands and Generates Business

Social media is now the main channel of influence in the Brazilian consumer's decision-making journey. A consistent digital presence, with relevant content and a clear strategy, transforms followers into customers and customers into brand advocates. But this only happens with planning, creativity, and professional execution.

What does professional social media management include?

  • Monthly editorial planning aligned with business objectives.
  • Creation of custom video artwork, captions, and scripts.
  • Managing comments and direct messages
  • Paid ads (Meta Ads) integrated into the organic strategy
  • Monthly performance analysis with metrics on reach, engagement, and conversion.
  • Hashtag strategy, best posting times, and formats by platform.

The most common mistake companies make on social media is posting out of obligation, without a strategy. Content disconnected from business objectives generates likes, but not sales. Kaizen Agency develops a unique content identity for each client, with messages that educate, engage, and convert. We work with Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube, always focusing on metrics that matter: leads generated, cost per lead, and return on investment.

FAQ

How often should I post on social media?

Consistency matters more than frequency. For Instagram and Facebook, 3-5 posts per week are sufficient with good quality content. LinkedIn works well with 2-3 posts per week. The secret is to maintain a cadence that is sustainable and provides content of real value to the audience.

Is it worth investing in social media ads even if you have few followers?

Yes. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) allows you to target extremely specific audiences regardless of the number of followers. With R$500 to R$1.000/month, it's possible to reach tens of thousands of highly qualified potential customers.

Which social media platform is most important for my business?

It depends on your audience and product. Instagram is ideal for visual products and B2C. LinkedIn is best for B2B and corporate services. TikTok is growing rapidly for organic reach. The most effective strategy starts by dominating one network before expanding to others.

Do Reels and short videos really generate more reach?

Yes, significantly. Instagram's algorithm prioritizes Reels up to 3x more than static posts. Videos of 15 to 60 seconds with a strong hook in the first 3 seconds perform best. For local businesses, a well-made Reel can generate hundreds of new local followers.

How can I measure if my social media management is yielding results?

The main metrics are: reach (how many people saw it), engagement (likes, comments, shares), traffic generated to the website, leads originating from social media, and conversions (sales, appointments, contacts). Avoid focusing solely on likes—they don't pay the bills.
