Facebook Debuts Additional Measurement Tools to Help Gain Advertiser Trust

Facebook Debuts Additional Measurement Tools to Help Gain Advertiser Trust | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The social network said it plans to begin launching a series of features every month in the hopes of providing more “transparency and understanding” about how ads work on the platform. The first set, announced today, include metrics related to how ads increase web site traffic by measuring how many people actually click on an ad and then visit a landing page.


According to Facebook, mobile websites that are slow to load often keep people from actually visiting a site after they click on an ad. However, the company said the updates will more accurately track traffic and illustrate the importance of mobile optimization.


Another new feature will be able to tell whether a person who clicks on an ad has had any previous experience with the brands. The feature, called a “pre-impression activity breakdown,” will arrive in a few weeks and will compare new visitors to previous ones....

'The audience there is huge': A guide to the most popular publisher Facebook video hacks - Digiday

'The audience there is huge': A guide to the most popular publisher Facebook video hacks - Digiday | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

When Helen Havlak, engagement editor at The Verge, looks to the future, she sees video — and Facebook. Last year, the Verge’s video views overtook its pageviews. This year, she expects the tech site to more than double the number of videos it produces this year. “Video right now is the only way to build a Facebook page,” she said. “The audience there is huge.”


Publishers are all trying to become video producers, tantalized by the prospect of lucrative video ad rates and exposure on Facebook, where publishers have a better chance of getting their content seen by posting video than they do photos and text links. Media companies uploaded 931,000 social videos to Facebook in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 109 percent year over year, according to Tubular Labs (measuring across 2,000 media companies).


But producing video is time-consuming and expensive, which is why, for better or for worse, they’re turning to various hacks. Here’s a guide to some of the most common tactics. We’ll let you decide if they’re brilliant or despicable....

How to Sell Your Products on Facebook | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

According to AmeriCommerce, Facebook accounts for 60% of all social traffic driven to retail sites; however people don't really log on to Facebook to make purchases. People go on Facebook to connect with others, so the real trick is figuring out how to connect those people with your content, and consequently your products.

Did you know that you can sell your e-commerce products directly on Facebook? The world's largest social media network offers a simple and effective platform for online sales. And with its massive user base of 1.7 billion monthly users, it's incredibly effective.

To get started, you'll first need to create your Facebook Page. Unlike personal profiles, Pages are intended specifically for commercial purposes, with the ability for users to “like” them. To create a Facebook Page, simply visit https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/ and follow the on-screen instructions.

After setting up your Facebook Page, you can sell your e-commerce products by using a compatible app. There are more than a dozen different e-commerce store apps for Facebook that are designed for this purpose. Once installed, they'll automatically pull product listings from your e-commerce site, posting them directly on your Facebook Page.

Facebook offers great opportunities to attract, engage and convert would-be customers, but building a high-converting Facebook page has been elusive for many organizations.

It's important to know the elements of a successful Facebook page; it's even more crucial to recognize the reasons your Facebook page is failing.

You also have to incorporate Facebook ads to promote your content, increase clicks to your website and turn fans into customers.

Facebook Will Soon Let Brands Target Ads at Entire Families or Specific People Within Households

Facebook Will Soon Let Brands Target Ads at Entire Families or Specific People Within Households | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

While brands have been buying ads for niche audiences on Facebook for years, they’ll soon be able to target ads down to the specific household.


Just in time for the holiday-planning season, the social network is introducing a new household audience feature that will let brands direct ads to entire families or to specific people within a household. The tool, which the company announced today, could help aim ads at people who influence purchasing decisions and other ads to the people making the actual purchases.


Here’s how it works: Brands can select a source audience—a custom audience uploaded to Facebook that represents their customers based on an email list, for instance—and then turn on the household audience feature to reach not just the person they’re targeting, but also other people in the same household....

Why Your Facebook Ads Aren't Working (And How To Fix It)

Why Your Facebook Ads Aren't Working (And How To Fix It) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

I can’t get Facebook Ads to work for my business.” Matthew Ganzak, Facebook Ads expert and disruptive innovator, hears this statement multiple times each day from prospective clients. How can something so simple to set up be so difficult to “get working” for your business?


Facebook’s organic reach has been trending down over the past few years, due in part to the fact that more than 60 million business pages are now competing for consumer eyeballs. Facebook now requires brands to spend more money to get the same reach as in the past. To optimize their spend, brands need to stay in touch with the latest trends. This means learning to work the evolving Facebook system to get more activity on posts.

Do Men Use Facebook Differently Than Women? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Facebook is all about connecting with others. Your connections are called “friends” whether you actually know them in real life or not. Men and women both friend others on the network, but they’re very different in how they do it.


Social media has become ubiquitous. It seems like everyone has a Facebook or Twitter account these days. It’s actually more common to hear some say, “Message me on Facebook,” than it is to hear them say, “call me” or “email me”. Social networks have become our online homes where we interact and communicate with friends and family, as well as with businesses that we patronize.
