Story Bumping
Facebook saw…
• 5% increase on
interaction with
stories from
Friends
• 8% increase in
interaction on
stories from
Pages
• Overall increase
in stories read
from 57 percent
to 70 percent
Last Actor
• Facebook has added more real-time signaling to
help decide what should show in the News Feed.
• Facebook tracks last 50 interactions you do on a
rolling basis; uses those as signals to rank your feed.
• Ranking bump is temporary as Facebook tracks last
50 interactions on a rolling basis.
• Facebook’s internal testing showed only a minor
increase in engagement with this change.
Facebook Ads
• Facebook will offer advertisers interest-based
advertising
o Another way to tailor ads in the U.S. based on information gathered from
other websites you visit and the apps you use.
• Facebook already serves "retargeted" ads
o If you visited Zappos.com, you might see the same shoes pop up in a
Zappos ad on Facebook.
o With interest-based targeting, a company selling socks might show you an
ad based on your interest in shoes — even if you did not previously visit its
website.

What’s a Brand to do?
Page managers learned that only a fraction of
their Facebook Fans – 16% on average – see their
Page posts in their News Feeds. And, that fraction
keeps getting smaller and smaller.
Remind your Fans they can click to view their ‘Pages
Feed’ on the left sidebar of their News Feed to see
content from Pages they've liked.
Educate your super fans that they can ‘Get
Notifications’ from your Page.
Encourage fans to engage with your posts when they
do see them, so they see more of them.
Re-allocate Your Time and Effort Toward Your Owned
Assets – Your Website and Blog
Start Treating Facebook Like a Paid Ad Platform
If you advertise, go beyond basics. Maximize the effectiveness of their
campaigns with:
Conversion Tracking
Track the actions of site visitors after viewing your Facebook ad.
Custom Audiences
Target Facebook ads based on your email list.
Lookalike Audiences
Target Facebook users similar to your customers.
Audience Insights
Learn about your existing Facebook audience to better target your ads.
Website Custom Audiences
Target Facebook users who have visited your website before.
Facebook Exchange
Place retargeted ads on Facebook for users who’ve visited a certain product
or service page on your site.
Partner Categories
Target users based on information, such as purchase history, from 500+ third
party data providers like Datalogix.
Customizable Reporting
Create reports based on metrics that matter most for your business.
Best practices (the Not New!)

• Ask questions
o Should, would, who perform best!

(customers & employees)
• Tag other Business Pages

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Anonymous Login, a brand new way to log into apps without sharing any personal information from Facebook, along with a new version of Facebook Login with even better privacy controls. Anonymous Login: An easy way for people to try an app without sharing any of their personal information from Facebook. Facebook Login: A new version that gives people the option to pick and choose what information apps get. A Redesigned App Control Panel: A central place for people to see and manage the apps they use.
  • #10 Your Paper is made of stories and themed sections, so you can follow your favorite interests. The first section in Paper is your Facebook News Feed, where you’ll enjoy inspiring new designs for photos, videos, and longer written posts. You can customize Paper with a choice of more than a dozen other sections about various themes and topics—from photography and sports to food, science and design. Each section includes a rich mix of content from emerging voices and well-known publications. Storytelling and sharing have been reimagined in Paper to show stories at their best. Everything responds to your touch so you can pick up or thumb through stories with simple, natural movements You can tilt your phone to explore high-resolution panoramic photos from corner to corner, and see faces and other important details up close Fullscreen autoplay videos come to life and bring you deep into the action Beautifully detailed covers make it easy to spot articles from trusted publishers and decide what to read or watch Articles unfold in the app and appear fullscreen for a focused reading experience When you’re ready to tell your own story, you know exactly what your post or photo will look like because you see a live preview before you share it
  • #15 When writing a status update, you’ll have the option to use your phone’s microphone to identify what song is playing or what show or movie is on TV.
  • #17 The right-side column of your timeline now displays all your Page’s posts. This one-column display means that all of your posts will appear consistently on your Page and in News Feed. The left-side column of your timeline features information about your business, including a map, your hours of business, phone number and website URL, as well as photos and videos.
  • #18 No matter where you are on your Page, you can now view information about the ads you’re running and new likes on your Page, as well unread notifications and messages. You can click on any section in the This Week section for more detail. We’ve also added new navigation options to the top of the Page, making it easier to access your activity, insights and settings. The Build Audience menu at the top of the Page offers direct access to your Ads Manager account.
  • #19 As we roll out the new design of Pages, we’re also opening up our new Pages to Watch feature in the Page Insights tool to all admins. Pages to Watch allows admins to create a list of Pages similar to their own and compare the performance of their Page with that of the businesses they care about. On the “Overview” tab of Page Insights admins will see some key stats about the Pages they are watching. The “Posts” tab of Page Insights includes a feature to view the past week’s most engaging posts from the Pages you’re watching.
  • #28 Spend the vast majority of your effort creating content (blog posts and long-form content such as ebooks, case studies, or videos) that will continue to garner inbound traffic, leads, and customers long after they’re first created. If you have time and budget, share those assets to Facebook for additional reach.
