General Best Practices
• Approach the campaign using Audience First framework
• Assume they haven’t seen every ad and won’t see the next ad or put another way
make this impression count
• If you were to measure message association what would be the key theme?
• If using video, it must be built for the platform
- Assume only 2 seconds is viewed…will it be worth it?

21.
Best Practices

22.
Creative Best Practices
• Test multiple copy/image variations to allow for deeper learnings and
insights, and stronger optimizations
• Best practice is 4x different creative variations per week
- Use variations of branded imagery vs. product shots to identify the top
performer
• Keep copy short and concise and use 1 CTA to incite an immediate
purchase (buy now, shop now)
• Cater messaging to specific target segments to make creative more
relevant

23.
• Data we can track: Sales revenue, sale volume across Mobile and Desktop, post
click and post impression actions
• Gap: Cross device tracking with vendor pixels but no de-duplication across
platforms
• Will need to use media analytics as proxy for cross site attribution directionally
from desktop performance and overlap
Recommended Tracking Approach
Tracking Tool Action Note
Step 1 Vendor Pixel Place Vendor pixels on site Sync post impression and post click
windows between Vendor and Media
tracking
Step 2 Site Analytics Append tracking parameter to
URL
Reported numbers from 2 and 3 will not
match due to methodology differences
Step 3 Media Analytics Use URL from above for
media trafficking
Custom URL shortener can be used for
visual consistency of tracked posts

24.

28.
Facebook: Canvas
Immersive “choose your own adventure” format
• Best for education, multiple use cases, finding qualified interest

29.
Facebook: Dynamic Ads for Retail
This is the holy grail for brands that
own the POS
• Dynamically updated inventory based on
location
• Proximity based store locator in carousel
• Calls to action, maps, and text are
always based on the business location
nearest the person served the ad

30.
Facebook: Business Location Based Targeting
Radius-Based Targeting
Specify the targeting radius around all your
locations, or choose a different radius for each –
best if locations are far apart
Area Targeting
Target an entire city or region. The ad will
always show the closest location – best if
there are dense areas of locations in one area

31.
Instagram: Dynamic Ads
• Help you promote relevant products to
shoppers who have browsed your
website.
• Import you entire product catalog to
Instagram (via Facebook), and
automatically promote any of your
products without having to create
thousands of ads.
