Advertising Intangible Products on Facebook

What Are Intangible Products?

Intangible products are non-physical items such as:

  • Software & SaaS platforms

  • Online courses

  • Coaching & consulting services

  • Digital subscriptions

  • Financial services

  • Travel experiences

These products don’t have a tangible form, which means traditional product-focused advertising needs a major shift in strategy.

1. Sell the Outcome, Not the Product

People don’t want your software—they want what it does for them.

Focus your ad copy on:

  • Results: “Get organized in under 10 minutes a day”

  • Feelings: “Gain confidence in your next job interview”

  • Transformation: “From beginner to fluent in 30 days”

 Use aspirational language and emotional storytelling.

2. Use High-Impact Visual Metaphors

No product box? No problem. Use visuals that reflect:

  • The benefit (a stress-free person meditating = peace of mind service)

  • The result (calendar filled with booked calls = productivity SaaS)

  • The emotion (happy family = financial planning service)

Animations, icons, and clean text overlays also work well for intangible offers.

3. Leverage Testimonials and Case Studies

Social proof is everything when your product isn’t visible.

Use:

  • Video testimonials from real users

  • Screenshots of results (e.g., dashboard analytics, revenue growth)

  • Before-and-after comparisons (even in words)

 Highlight transformation, even in service-based industries.

4. Offer a Quick Win

Since there’s nothing to “touch” or “unbox,” offer something to bridge the trust gap:

  • Free trial or demo

  • Ebook or checklist

  • Instant access to a lesson/module

This encourages engagement and builds belief in the product’s value.

Tip: Tools like Adsspeed help automate campaigns promoting trials, even across multiple markets and time zones—ideal for SaaS and subscription-based businesses.

5. Use Educational Ad Content

When selling a concept or expertise, educate first:

  • Carousel ads explaining key pain points and solutions

  • Short-form Reels offering 3 tips

  • Story Ads walking through a “how-to”

This builds trust and authority—key to converting cold audiences.

6. Drive to an Experience-Driven Landing Page

Your landing page should:

  • Reassure users with clear value

  • Have social proof front-and-center

  • Make the first step frictionless (e.g., one-click signup, chatbot demo)

Visual consistency between ad and page builds credibility for abstract products.
