CUSTOM & LOOKALIKE AUDIENCES
Facebook allows you to upload customer information, which it hashes to create an audience that can be used for narrowly targeted ads. Advertisers who use custom audiences have reported significant increases in fan acquisition, click-through rates and engagement.
Lookalike Audiences are users who aren’t already in your databases, but are similar to those who are. Advertisers using this feature have reported decreases in fan acquisition costs and significant increases in returns on ad spend.
BEST PRACTICES
● If you have a large budget, create and test multiple ads with different creative for different interest groups to see how they perform against each other
○ This helps identify high-return, low-cost groups and
eliminate groups that are eating ad spend
● If your budget is small, group relevant interests together across less ads to create “personas” to advertise to
○ Still allows you to achieve your goals, but may be
difficult to narrow down which targets are performing
BEST PRACTICES
● Do not group multiple ads with different targeting in a single campaign -- you won’t get a true performance test
○ The ad platform won’t give ads in a single campaign an equal run -- it’s best to build one campaign, one ad if you are testing different audience groups
● Experiment with Optimized CPM -- maximizes budgets by allowing you to prioritize spend by:
○ Actions
○ Clicks
○ Reach
○ Social Impressions
FBX (RETARGETING ADS)
Working with vendors, it is possible to run retargeting ads on Facebook, including on the News Feed and Right Hand Side
WEBSITE CUSTOM AUDIENCES
● Facebook allows for the creation of a custom audience from visitors to your website
● Install code and Facebook will begin to track and make the audience available for use in the ad platform
● Good alternative to retargeting ads for small businesses
USER RETENTION
● After you get users to reach your site, reduce your future spending by getting them to connect with you and visit through organic means.○ Popular tools:○ Like Button connected to Facebook page○ Like Box for Facebook page (better for blogs)
○ Modal prompt requesting Like -- aggressive, but
effective
