network, here and abroad Usage growing in NH waaaay
faster than population growth (15% vs. 0.16% since 2011)
Despite this, attention is starting to fragment across channels (Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, WhatsApp, SnapChat, Vine)

users are on mobile devices Think short, punchy, and
visual for Facebook Posts Custom tab installs must
offer mobile friendly links Mobile ad costs are higher,
conversion rates are higher, cost per lead is lower!

Select Sociographics
The State of NH on Facebook, 2014 Epiphanies, Inc. | Facebook.com/AhaYourself | Facebook.com/AhaSummit
Observations: Family information growing
as multi-generational Facebook use expands
“Partner categories” allow you to add extra demographic, sociographic, and purchasing behavior layers to advertising options

Interests and Behaviors “Interests” include interests from their
timelines as well as the interests tied to Pages they’ve liked or keywords associated with those Pages or apps they use.
“Behaviors” are constructed from both someone's activity on Facebook and through offline activity provided by data from Facebook's “trusted third-party partners” Acxiom, Datalogix and Epsilon.

Behaviors…
The State of NH on Facebook, 2014 Epiphanies, Inc. | Facebook.com/AhaYourself | Facebook.com/AhaSummit
Observations: Used separately, Interests,
Behaviors, and Partner Categories add to your target audience
Used together, Interests, Behaviors, and Partner Categories conflict/cancel each other out
Interests are not limited to the categories provided by Facebook
The State of NH on Facebook, 2014 Epiphanies, Inc. | Facebook.com/AhaYourself | Facebook.com/AhaSummit
Important Ad Features #1:Custom Audiences! Upload your email database or
segmented lists into Facebook Facebook matches your list against
its user database and creates a Custom Audience to target with ads
Use Interests, Behaviors, and Partner Categories to learn more about them and target your ads more effectively!
The State of NH on Facebook, 2014 Epiphanies, Inc. | Facebook.com/AhaYourself | Facebook.com/AhaSummit
Important Ad Features #2:Lookalike Audiences Based on a Custom Audience To create the Lookalike Audience,
Facebook matches the Custom Audience against similar users, based on internal and third-party- provided information
Play with a range of similarity versus reach, then target further based on Interests, Behaviors, etc.

Important Ad Features #3:Dark/Unpublished Posts This is how to get advertising posts
in the News Feed without it also appearing on your Page
Split test News Feed ads without spamming your Page Timeline
Call to Action buttons (i.e. “Shop Now,” “Learn More,” “Download”)
Bonus! You get to cheat Facebook’s guidelines of 25-character headlines and 90-character body copy blocks

Important Ad Features #4:Ad Sets New-ish layer between campaigns
and the ads themselves Where the campaign budgeting
takes place now Use to identify and divide up your
targeting (i.e., desktop versus mobile, different interest categories)

Important Ad Features #5:Pixels Facebook Conversion Pixels for your
website help you track checkouts, registrations, etc. from within your Facebook Ads Manager
Facebook Exchange (FBX) partners provide pixels for your website that allow you to “retarget” people who come to your site but don’t buy with new ads on Facebook

What Does This All Mean for Taking Flight With Facebook? This presentation was designed to give
a window into what’s possible with ad targeting on Facebook
You can also use the ads platform and Graph Search to understand your Page’s current Likers better
Whether it’s marketing or advertising, and no matter what the platform: The right message to the right person at the right time = business success!

The Big Takeaways: Facebook usage plateauing in the US
overall, but still on the rise in NH Mobile usage is overtaking desktop
usage, which affects your posting and advertising choices
More competition for News Feed space + Facebook’s revenue needs driving a “pay to play” Page model
New tools and targeting options make Facebook advertising more effective than ever before
