not.

Facebook vs. Search
Search: User says,“Here’s what I want”
Facebook: Advertiser says,“You’re the one
that I want” (hoo hoo hoo!)
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
This Is Where Facebook Excels
It pinpoints physical location and personality
“location” to help you reach exactly the type
of person you want.
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
We Are Gonna Talk About…
• User location as a mindset
• User location as a physical presence
• Tailoring creative based on these
• Custom audiences
• Lookalike audiences
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub

you need it.

Also, have your address on your
Facebook Business Page

“Let’s Run the Same Ad For

Sounds silly when you say it out
loud.
(But most businesses do exactly that.)

Make Warm Audiences Warmer

• How segmented is your website?
• How much data do you have?
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
Custom Audiences: Email
Upload your email list segments into Facebook
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
Custom Audiences: Email
Create complementary, localized ad content to current customers
Great for: weather/seasonal, style preferences, supporting low in-store sales
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
Custom Audiences: Email
Supplement Email Efforts:
•Remarket to unopened emails
•Test imagery and messaging in Facebook before using it in email
•Segmented audiences based on how email was acquired:
conferences, networking events, etc.
•Target based on captured important dates: i.e., subscriber
anniversary, birthdate, etc.
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
Custom Audiences:
Website Remarketing
Bonus: Use ads as a test for images and copy that you can then
apply to your emails and site experience.
Anyone who visits your site: lowest level intent
People who visit specific pages: Product/service specific targeting,
higher intent, higher conversion rates
People Visiting Specific pages but not others: Segmented
audiences, even higher intent, i.e. shopping cart abandons
People who purchased: Upsells and testimonial requests
#DSCLT16 @SusanEDub
Custom Audiences: Lookalikes
Find similar audiences based on site and email
customers. Note: Larger audiences give better accuracy
in matching.
Note: Don’t forget, you can add layering to get more specific!
