No Longer do we have
access to our target’s
attention.
( and our tools don’t work like they used to )
WEBSITES, DIRECT MAIL
BROCHURES, POSTCARDS,
FLYERS, BANNER ADS,
POSTERS, EMAIL, PPC
ARE THESE THE MEDIUMS PEOPLE
CONSUME & SHARE & ENGAGE
WITH CONTENT?
let’s see what happened to the
effectiveness of our tools when we
used them based on an outdated
marketing outlook:
EMAIL OPEN RATES
BANNER AD CTRs
CPC DEMAND OF ADWORDS
email open rates:
2002: 37.3%
2009: 26%
2011: 17%
2014: 9.8%
(Constant Contact)
email open rates:
2015: ?
Banner ad click-thru rates
Mid 90’s: 3.0%
Early 2000s: 0.5%
2010: 0.1%
2014: 0.04%
(Advertising and the World Wide Web by David Shuman and Esther Thorson, 2014
and Hubspot)
you are more likely to complete
NAVY SEAL training than click a
banner ad
cost-per-click demand of google adwords
GOING DOWN
15% Y.O.Y.
?(Google)
Now let’s take a look at
where ad spend in the
market currently stands
in 2018 smart phones will overtake
non-smartphones, skyrocketing to
3.5 billion consumer devices
worldwide (cisco)
So here’s that question again:
why do marketers continue to invest
so heavily in email, direct mail, ppc,
banner ads, etc?
When they themselves, as a consumer,
don’t fall for those tactics.
Social media content is seen by more
customers than any other medium at a
frequency higher than any other medium
Not investing in social media is equivalent to:
so much fun
yay

Unfortunately
Similar to email, ppc, etc.
The social realm isn’t
working like it used to either.
This makes us as marketers
have to work much harder to
get our message out.
In order for organic social marketing to really work, you
have to devote a large amount of resources* to:
LONG TERM COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT
CONSTANTLY CREATING MEANINGFUL CONTENT
ACTIVELY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
*Designers, videographers, front-end developers, back-end developers,
photographers, writers, creative directors, art directors, etc.
Last year, Nestle revealed that its teams produce more
than 1,500 pieces of marketing content each day for more
than 800 Facebook pages.
Assuming each FB post takes 2 hours of work,
that means they spend roughly:
$127,500/day on FB posts alone.
How can you as smaller, in-house marketing departments (with limited
resources) fully utilize these social platforms to:
AFFECT THE BOTTOM LINE
DRIVE ADMISSIONS
GATHER DEMOGRAPHIC INSIGHT
PAID SOCIAL
What is the goal?
Get our brand in front of
targets in a meaningful way,
in the places they spend
most of their time
What is the obstacle?
Organic reach isn’t working.
Not to mention it’s not like
sending another email is
going to get the job done.
What is the solution?
There’s a new way to find
our targets and get in front
of them
Facebook’s Data Partners
allow brands greater access to:

AUDIENCE

Any information users
input into Facebook can be
leveraged for targeted ads

Paid social is:
A great addition to your mix for driving leads

same bang for your buck as it used to.
