With FourSquare. FourSquare will show your Ad to people

searching for your solution in your area. When they click, you

get charged. FourSquare has a cool little feature they call

Check-in. Basically, they’ve made it fun for people to tell their

friends that they’re at your spot. Because FourSquare knows

when someone is at your spot, and they know if they clicked

on your Ad, they can tell you how many people came into your

spot after clicking the Ad. Use average party size and average

order size to estimate how much revenue the FourSquare Ad

brought in.

“Yes it’s possible to track how many people bought a gift card

after seeing that Ad.”With Facebook’s Conversion Pixel. Facebook’s

Conversion Pixel is a little snippet of words and

numbers that you can copy and paste onto your Gift

Card confirmation page. Whenever someone clicks on

an Ad for a gift card and clicks through to the checkout

page, that little bit of words and numbers is activated.

Facebook can’t tell you exactly how much the person

spent on the Gift Card, but you’ll know how many

people saw the Facebook Ad, clicked through and

eventually made a purchase.

With Facebook Custom Audiences. Facebook lets you target users

based on location, interests, gender, education, behavior and more. When you run an Ad you can optimize for website clicks, event commitments and more. Facebook won’t let you run the Ad if the targeting is too defined (less than 1,000 users).
