Social Networking vs. Social Advertising

By just observing public information of a user profile, we now:• Where he grew up• What he listens to• What sports (organizations) he likes• Where he works• (and actually many other features)• With him only partially telling it about himself – his social network
did so
OK, so now how can I get to the data?

Facebook Applications – why?

Why should you use them?
They add functionality to your Facebook Page• Virtually, any function can be “transmitted” into a Facebook Page
using Facebook application, from “subscribe to a newsletter” to the Farmville game
• They are simple, effective, not widely used
They gather data • A Facebook application asks for permission to “touch” stated
amount of data from Facebook about the user that wants to use it• Is he/she accepts, the app will create a database

So complimentary/alternative:• Step 1: permission dialogue, asking for gender, age, contact,
location• Step 2: shaping the introductory questionnaire (type of skin,
problem, favorite treatments, budget… (with optional surprising things that make this part already very precise in what we suggest)
• Step 3: offer of location of the branch/shop according to the location the application grabs from user’s information
• Step 3: making a reservation in the schedule• Step 4: Thank you!

So what exactly happens?

Facebook ConnectThe Login app creates a “bridge” between Facebook and a website, microsite, mobile application…• The app receives some data from Facebook and some from the
other service, matching them together• That means that the user “Kaoklai Kaennorasing” living in
Sukhumvit Soi 11 with the e-mail [email protected] becomes Facebook user “Kaoklai the Great” with:
• Facebook ID 456893 who likes Metallica, AC/DC, Manchester United, Aloft Hotel Bangkok
• plays Farmville• is in relationship with Sunghuyn Cho, Facebook user ID
576822943• has two dogs• studied Bangkok University

Facebook Connect
The Login app creates a “bridge” between Facebook and a website, microsite, mobile application…• In addition, Kaoklai’s actions on the website, microsite or within the
application can be automatically published on Kaoklai’s Facebook profile using the Open Graph functions so his friends see what has been doing on the site (this is set-up and executed by the service owner and Facebook team). This brings:
• Traffic for free• Quality leads thanks to the fact that the people brought know
Kaoklai and are interested in his actions and the service• Resulting as well in Facebook engagement

FACEBOOK ADVERTISING

Facebook Ads
24
There are 2 main types of Ads:
Ads – voice of business• Paid messages sent out by the advertiser• His “voice”• They can be based on Advertiser’s presence on Facebook (such as
his Facebook Page) or even not, and they can or don’t have to have any social context – simple small banners are also available
Sponsored Stories - Voice of friends• Advertiser pay in order to show the interaction in between them and
Facebook Users – people – to more people• This format will end in April this year

Page post ads – combining Facebook and your businessThe Page posts are no longer “chatting with fans” – they are understood by Facebook itself as a commercial message. You support reach of the message:- Among you existing fans- Their peers- Outside your fanbase- “Dark posts” are posts that are visible
only to those “hit” by advertising, not to “standard” fans – this allows you to create tens or even hundreds of segmented messages target at very precisely selected audiences
Formats?
33
Sponsored stories – Facebook human interaction turned into advertisingFacebook allows you to tell your fan’s friend that:- He likes you- He comments on your activity- He plays your game- Listens to music on your platform
(web, application, mobile app)- …- Combined with Open Graph, that he
created his own football squad in your game, created her favorite outfit on your fashion site, uploaded a picture in a photo-contest

Audiences – who can I target?
36
1. People selected based on very detailed behavioral information Facebook know about them:• Their “affinity” to segments such as industries, hobbies, education,
holiday destinations and activity, careers, celebrities• Content they like and consume (read, listen to, watch, play…)• Their actions and activity – events they go, posts they make,
pictures they upload…
2. Your own audience!• Do you have an e-mail or phone number database? Segment users
in it according to their behavior, upload this selection to Facebook and target these people with Facebook Advertising.
3. Audience similar to your custom audience• You know that women that are 26, love fashion, love cats and have
a degree from Bangkok University are the best customers. You can try to hit those who fulfill all these criteria with one exception – they say they love dogs instead of cats.
