Have you set yourself up for success with inbound call campaigns? Inbound call campaigns connect advertisers with high-intent, interested consumers the moment they’re ready to engage, resulting in 100% contact rates. But, for a call campaign to be successful, proper preparation is key. Careful planning is needed on both the advertiser and publisher sides for a call campaign to perform well. The following four tips can help you set up inbound call campaigns for long-term success.

1. Identify A Reputable Call Network

Call networks that work with high-quality publishers attract high-quality advertisers with a wide array of offers to entice consumers. Reputable call networks with recorded call access help advertisers feel comfortable that their brand standards are being maintained. Publishers benefit from working with quality call networks that offer robust call tracking platforms, significant call volume demand across a variety of call campaigns and offers, plus wide acceptance across days of the week and hours of the day. 

Digital Media Solutions (DMS) understands the value each publisher brings to our call network and the advertisers the network supports. We offer multiple pay-per-call solutions, including consumer-generated calls, warm transfers, search-generated click-to-call and SMS-generated calls.

2. Know Your Call Campaign Audience & How To Create Urgency

It’s important to know your audience, the best way to reach them and how to encourage inbound calls. Social media, particularly Facebook and Snapchat, continues to grow as an effective channel for encouraging calls. Successful social media call campaigns create urgency, which prompts consumers to “stop the scroll” and take action to speak immediately. Highlighting the urgency of promotions that offer value to consumers at little to no cost, like the opportunity to lower monthly credit card or auto insurance payments, can encourage immediate action. 

3. Set Up Targeting To Match Call Campaign Objectives

Targeting criteria must match campaign objectives. Specific criteria, whether it’s location, age or income, can help call publishers target their ad buys and placements to match the target audiences for offers. Additional qualification and targeting is useful for campaigns related to auto, health insurance, life insurance and consumer finance, including tax/credit card consolidation and refinancing. Advertisers working with data-driven networks, like DMS, often share their customer lists to enable lookalike targeting, which combined with robust data signals, helps get the right message to the right person at the right time to drive conversions.

4. Share Call Campaign Performance Results

Open communication is critical, especially regarding the disposition data of call campaigns. For publishers to be able to optimize performance, advertisers, publishers and networks must share data on what is working well and what isn’t. Publishers who do not receive call-specific disposition data often resort to optimizing based on talk times, which may not necessarily correlate with conversions.
