Hinweis der Redaktion
Number of hours and minutes the average user spends on Facebook each month.
For example, if you are a childrenâs toy store located in Springfield you may want to target people who live in your city who are parents.
Hereâs an example of the power of interest targeting: State Bicycle Co., purveyor of hipster bikes, targeted fans of hipster bands Arcade Fire, M83 and Passion Pit. As well as people who âŚ
Liked other bicycle shops such as Big Shot Bikes, Mission Bicycle and other general interest topics about bikes
Live in cities with ads promoting specific events such as a bike ride in Austin, Texas
As a result, they were able to:
Drive close to $500,000 in incremental sales annually through promotion codes and traffic generated exclusively from Facebook
Limit ad spending to 1/5th cost per click compared to other ad platforms
Facebook will automatically allocate more of your daily budget to higher performing ads
The average Facebook user has 130 friends. So if you advertise to friends of your fans and you have 100 fans you will be able to reach 13,000 of their friends⌠not bad!
Use a simple, eye-catching image that is related to your ad text
PNG format
110px x 80px
Evocative (but not "shocking")
No stock photos (boring!)
Too often advertisers/marketers will launch a Facebook ad campaign and see that they just spend $100 and got poor results and generalize that this must be the case for all campaigns on Facebook.
Not necessarily an either/or situation!
Test both platforms, crown a winner
Adv. Facebook: brand building or for products that a specific demographic always wants
e.g. shoes for all women aged 25-30 with a college degree making $75K/year
Adv. Google: you have a product that people need when they need it
e.g. buying a car or getting your iPad fixed
