William Noel Asked:
“Do you have a media preference (i.e., image vs. video) for Facebook ads?”
The Answer:
Both images and videos can be highly effective in Facebook ads, depending on your campaign goals and audience preferences. However, video ads often deliver stronger engagement, more storytelling potential, and better performance metrics. Let’s explore why video is a top choice and how to use it strategically with tools like the Video Domino strategy.
Why Video Ads Often Outperform Images
- Higher Engagement Rates
- Videos grab attention quickly and keep users engaged longer than static images.
- Enhanced Storytelling
- Videos allow you to explain complex concepts, showcase products, or tell your brand’s story more effectively.
- Better Algorithm Support
- Facebook’s algorithm often prioritizes video content, giving your ads more reach.
- Stronger Call-to-Action Opportunities
- Video content naturally leads viewers to take action, whether it’s clicking a link, filling out a form, or watching more.

When to Use Images in Facebook Ads
While video is often preferred, there are cases where images can shine:
- Quick Promotions: Images are great for simple, time-sensitive offers.
- High-Quality Visuals: If you have a striking photo or graphic that grabs attention, it can perform exceptionally well.
- Testing Audiences: Use images to test different audience segments before investing in more expensive video campaigns.
Pro Tips for Facebook Ads
- Combine Media Types
- Test both image and video ads to see what resonates with your audience.
- Optimize for Mobile
- Ensure your videos and images are optimized for mobile viewing, as most Facebook users access the platform on their phones.
- Use Captions in Videos
- Many users watch videos with the sound off, so include captions to convey your message clearly.
