Your Social Media Campaign Facebook should not be the de-facto social media portal just
because everyone is on there. Make sure its part of your arsenal not the only weapon
Remember to create compelling content in order to engage your users. Without content, your advertising money will be wasted and you will be left wondering why things are not working
What is Facebook Advertising
According to Facebook, Facebook advertising is the ability to reach your exact audience and connect real customers to your business.
Bidding takes place on the demographic and geographic of the user, instead of the actual keyword. Because of this, keyword associations that people have with their Facebook accounts are correlated quite highly with true interests
Facebook advertising allows you to play in the same league as the big guys and even beat them to the punch.
Facebook marketing requires communicating, not advertising.
Who Uses Facebook Advertising
Small businesses, medium business and large businesses all use Facebook advertising. Just because you are a small business, does not mean that your can’t use Facebook Advertising
Applications use Facebook advertising. Ever seen an ad for Movin Up on Farmville, or Mafia Wars?
Case Study 1 – CM Photographics
Objective – CM Photographics chose to advertise on Facebook to drive traffic to their site and acquire qualified leads.
Solution – Facebook Ads provided CM Photographic the ability to target their exact demographics which was 24 to 30 year old women whose relationship status on Facebook indicated that they were engaged.
Results - Over 12 months they generated nearly 40,000 in revenue from $600 dollar investment in FB.
60 percent became qualified leads from click throughs and actively expressed interest in more information
Case Study 2 – Provo.com
Objective – Povo.com needed a geo-targeted and cost-effective way to support the initial launch in the Boston area. They needed a way to target prospects who would be most likely to use the site while keeping costs low for both creative development and media spend.
Solution – Povo.com created a series of campaigns and creative executions that included messaging related to both overall brand and specific events and promotions. This enabled the start up to test and measure the real world impact of alternative marketing approaches. They adjusted ads on a daily basis to optimize CPC’s.
Result – Drove thoses of new visitors to the site and exposed a large local audience. Generated the lowest CPC’s of all povo.com display advertising activities.

45 percent of all FB users who started the survey complete it versus 28 percent from other marketing channels
Case Study 4 – All Nippon Airways
Objective – ANA aimed to attract a younger, more leisure baed audience in NA who followed Japanese culture

Graphs and Measurements
Customized Reporting
Pro’s
Ability to use images to create emotion in advertising
Ability to run multiple ads to very targeted demographics
Ability to target geographically as well
Social action ads
Over 200 million users world wide
Low competition levels and low barrier to entry
It works REALLY well in local advertising
Con’s
Testing the right ad can become very time consuming to manage
More of a short term strategy vs a long term money maker
Ads are mysteriously denied without any reason
Click fraud can become a real problem with higher ad spend campaigns
Consumers are in social mode not search mode, so your ad’s and your value you proposition has to be directly proportionate with social interaction not direct sales
Additional Secrets
Engage in conversation. Not really a big secret, but do not be salesy, be social
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket (Facebook advertising might not work for your product or service)
Keep it on a short leash. Put a daily spending budget into place at a low level while you see how much traffic and at what cost you will get it.
Think like a user. Put yourself in the mindset of the people who would buy from you and ask yourself what their demographics would be. If you are selling toasters, females in their late 20s and early 30s might be better than 16 year old males
Use Great images. Creativity is key. Joint levers of keywords and companies seem like a powerful
tool.
Conclusion
FB advertising is least effective at direct sales (relationship marketing)
Use a greater volume of ads that targets less people
Friend your users before you sell them
COMPLETELY understand your true demographic
Slit test ads by demographics
Develop creative ad copy
If a campaign isn’t working, try switching out the image
