- My name is RaeAnne Pae and I’m a Client Solutions Manager at Facebook. I help FinTech companies grow their business through Facebook ads.
- My sister owns farmland in KY, and has an event venue there. A couple of years ago I began helping her develop a strategy for engaging her community and raising awareness this great venue they have. She has a beautiful, rustic barn and courtyard that is perfect for a hosting vintage wedding. Each year I help her to fill her calendar with events by determining what her objective is, who her target audience is, and how to reach them using Facebook ads. We create ads that can reach people in the time of year they are most likely to be venue shopping and we tailor them to the parents who are likely to be searching for that perfect place to host their child’s wedding. We also focus on recently engaged people who are just beginning the planning process. When someone is interested, they can reach her directly through Facebook. After an event, she adds photos to her page to give visitors examples and help them to imagine their special occasion at Stone’s Throw Farm. Every day people share moments on Facebook and Instagram. When you understand what matters to people, you can be what matters to them. (video next)
- This is a sample Text and Screen Capture slide ideal for including a screen capture and supporting text. To Replace the Picture on this sample slide (this applies to all slides in this template that contain pictures in placeholders) Press the Tab key on your keyboard to select the picture in the background, and then press Delete. (Press the Tab key on your keyboard to cycle through the objects on your slide.) From the Insert menu, select Choose… and navigate to the desired photo Crop and resize picture to fill slide (hold down Shift key while resizing to maintain picture aspect ratio) With the picture selected, on the Arrange Menu, choose Send to Back to position the picture behind the text, logo and graphics. When resizing use shift and drag from a corner to maintain the aspect ratio of the image. Note: Do not use Change Picture to replace an image inside the picture placeholder as this will change the frame size. Instead, follow the steps outlined above.
- For over 50 years, marketers relied heavily on TV to deliver their brand messages to mass audiences. Similar to the ascension of television, we are seeing the advertising industry flow to the same place the people are: places like the Facebook News Feed … where all of the people that matter to you, discover what matters to them. ==Sources== Data for re-concept – last 4 years http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Mobile-Continues-Steal-Share-of-US-Adults-Daily-Time-Spent-with-Media/1010782 http://www.emarketer.com/Article/Growth-of-Time-Spent-on-Mobile-Devices-Slows/1013072 http://www.technologyreview.com/news/427787/are-smart-phones-spreading-faster-than-any-technology-in-human-history/
- In the US, over 150 million people visit Facebook every day. And 89% of those people visit every day via MOBILE. (That’s 135M people every day!)
- And over 100 million people visit Instagram every day in the US as well - all on mobile.
- Facebook and Instagram are two of the main stops during people’s time spent on mobile, with 1 out of every 5 minutes spent on mobile being within Facebook and Instagram. To put this into perspective – this more than the next 10 most popular apps combined!
- Facebook is about people; about your customers 1. Key Message: Right peole. Facebook allows you to reach customers who are most likely to buy your products and services. 1.6B people share their real and authentic identity with interests, friends, location and demographics every month on Facebook around the world.
- You know that your Facebook Page is your best way for you to communicate with your customers, anywhere, anytime. It allows you to easily build a mobile presence where your customers already spend their time: Facebook. Over 1B people visit Facebook 14 times a day. This means your Facebook page is an easy way for people to find information about your products and services. And they’re not just finding out about you. They’re also communicating directly with you. It just makes sense for you to be on Facebook, and to make it the center of everything you do online. Stat info: 80% of people in US on Facebook are connected to at least one small business.

- Once you create a page on FB or an account on IG you have presence on any device. You don’t have to do anything to get it to work on all those devices. So you create a page once and no matter where your consumer is, they’ll be able to see your business page in the right format for the device they are using.

- It's Valuable It works for businesses like yours, in driving real business objectives 1. Key Message: Measure return on every cent you spend, no matter what your business objective. While other media – print, TV, radio – can be expensive and hard to measure, with Facebook you can promote your business to the exact customers you want to reach – for great returns that you can measure real time. RTB: 1. More than 2M small businesses actively invest their hard-earned dollars with Facebook every month 2. Retailers who partnered with FB to measure multi-channel sales life/ROAS observed 2% lift in sales, and 8x ROAS 3. US FinServ companies using FB saw 14% increase in acquisitions and 21% increase in lifetime value for existing customers 4. Facebook generated over $50 BILLION dollars in revenue for clients through Direct Response ads in 2014.
- Every month, there are over 2.5M advertisers who invest in Facebook ads to grow their business. And as a result of that…
- We're going to show how you to build your business on Facebook and go over 3 main sections today to get you connecting with your consumers on any device at any time. First – [[If applicable]] How to simply create a page. And then adding important details so people can find you and contact you. If you have a Page, I'm going to talk about what you're supposed to put on that page. We'll talk about what relevant and engaging content looks like and how to start having a conversation with your customers. What do you say to them? How do you talk to them? What do they like to hear? After that, we’ll talk about how to amplify your reach more people and find new customers. Lastly - and I don't mean to mention this last, because it's something that you'll do during every part of this process, but we're going to talk about how to promote your business and measure the impact of investment, and help you keep a pulse on what your customers and fans are finding engaging and to ensure you're spending your time and money as effectively and efficiently as possible. This is key to your success on Facebook
- We’re going to start with how to use your page to host content.
- So the main thing to note here is that Profiles are for People and Pages are for businesses. Ciara here, could not create an ad or content about her business and post it on her personal page. Etc. When you create content from your business page, know that you are speaking as the business, not as yourself. One is tied to you as a person, one is tied to you as a business. What I hope you take away is that they are very different: if you use Facebook as a person, you’ll find it easy to create and manage a Page. It’s functionality is meant to help you reach your business goals. It's really similar as you can see here. On the left is my personal Facebook page and on the right is Jasper's market business page. They look really similar and there is good reason for that. You should be talking and connecting with your customers in a very similar way you would talk and connect with your friends and family. The best way to think about your FB page is that it is your online store front. It's your opportunity and online real estate to tell your story, convey a message, get people to understand what your business is all about, - so when they walk into your store or order from your website, they already feel like they know who you are.
- For anyone who does not have one yet, it’s easy to create one – just go to facebook.com/Pages and walkthrough the guided flow to set get up.
- Page post – great for when you’re on the go and have a quick message to share. Keep these short and sweet – when users see a big paragraph they are more likely to skim over to the next post.
- Photo post – use as much as you can! They're double the size of a text post, more engaging. Keep it high quality. Don’t be afraid to use your phones.
- Video post – some of the most engaging content on FB because of our auto-play feature. Don’t be deterred if you don’t have the resources to hire a professional. Everyone has a phone in their pockets so don’t be afraid to take photos with that!
- -Lots of stuff. But one big one is video - Video is blowing up on FB. Consumers are now viewing over 4bn videos on FB every day, and advertisers are following suit – and it’s not just the big advertisers like Tide and Taco Bell -There are now a million small businesses that have posted a video on FB. -You may want to think about telling your story using video – it can be a very effective way to tell your story and connect with customers. Lots of FB advertisers are finding success here, so think about video. Over one and a half million small businesses posted video –which includes organic video posts and video ads – on Facebook in the month of September alone. (Q3 2015, https://our.intern.facebook.com/intern/wiki/Facebook_Stats/Ads/) Link to Q4 earnings that stat comes from: http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AMDA-NJ5DZ/1422077090x0x872005/02B28FAD-354C-4CA0-8CDE-3ADB6F8A4734/Q415_and_FY_2015_Earnings_Call_Transcript.pdf

- Another cool feature that we recently announced: Pages now allows customers to message you. Communicate early and often with customers not only through posts but personal 1:1 conversations. Messages is a feature that allows you and your customers to communicate faster and privately on your Page. Tips: Be responsive Write like you talk – be conversational Use private responses for sensitive questions (billing information or questions/order statuses/topics that may include personal information. ADD stats about – how do you get that “very responsive” badge and how to turn messaging off https://www.facebook.com/business/news/pages-messaging-updates
- And when you’re posting this content people are experiencing it as part of their native experience on Facebook. And I want to dive into what that means. So we’re looking at Tom’s newsfeed here – post from his brother, and post from bff. Right in middle is potentially a message from a business that is trying to reach him. So let’s say Tom is the type of person that we want shopping at Jaspers market. We can place a message and reach him in his newsfeed right where he’s already connecting with things that he really cares about. And we know that people are really into this to because people are checking newsfeed 14x/day so it’s a great place to try and reach people. Let’s dig in a little bit more as to the types of post you’re creating and some examples of what works really well. so he's discovering information about things he cares about --- organic foods --- right where he is connecting with other things he's deeply engaged with -- his friends and family Important as a small business that you create really relevant content for your fans so when it shows up in their newsfeeds, it's something that adss value to their newsfeed and they want to engage with it Needs to feel relevant or else they won’t engage
- 1 – There is so much content on FB; we just can't fit it all in! 2 – 1500 stories per newsfeed each day but a person can only consume about 100-300 pieces of content 3 – As a company, Facebook wants preserve quality of News Feed by showing people the most relevant content to them. How do we know what’s relevant? By the people and pages they interact with most. 4 – Our algorithm rewards great content - show it more and it gets more reach; content that gets little engagement is limited in distribution because it’s not relevant to its audiences.
- Start by deciding what action you want your post to produce. Are you trying to push a certain product? Drive foot traffic to your store? Encourage website views? Improve trust? Identifying the purpose of your advertising will help you build posts that deliver the desired results. Release: https://fb.my.salesforce.com/a6QA0000000L2IC?srPos=1&srKp=a6Q
- Know your audience So after you’ve determined your business goal, you then need to figure out who your message is targeted to. You’re going to talk and post different imagery to men potentially different than you would to women. To older folks differently than you would to a younger generation. So for example, Arlington Club has a goal to drive more traffic to their restaurant during different different times of the day – their first post is a picture of a lovely looking pink cocktail with a message about stopping by after work and being open till 4am. This is clearly targeted to a younger, likely more female audience. They have another post of a delicious looking burger and fries with a message calling out to the early birds about their discounted meal. This is clearly targeted to an older generation. Now if you’re sitting here and feel like – I’m just getting started and I have no idea who my audience is yet – that’s okay. Don’t be afraid to try different posts and images and see how people will respond. Your fans will tell you if they like what they see – and you can see what’s resonating with your audience very clearly in your Page insights tool which I’ll touch on a bit later. But it’s a great way to learn about who are the types of people coming to my page? Are they male/female/, how old are they, what cities or countries are they coming from ,etc. It’s a great place to start in trying to figure out who your audience on Facebook is. Release: https://fb.my.salesforce.com/a6QA0000000L2FD?srPos=0&srKp=a6Q
- Pick a topic And most importantly you want to pick a topic that your audience will care about, and frame it in a way that would benefit them vs. just talking about yourself.. One of the biggest traps I see that businesses put too much into a post. Strip it down and extend your content schedule. Employees = makes page personable Highlighting what’s new is a great way to re-engage past customers and help you find new customers that might be interested in your new offerings Release: https://fb.my.salesforce.com/a6QA0000000L2FD?srPos=0&srKp=a6Q ----- Meeting Notes (2/9/16 11:41) ----- Change out alcohol image
- Okay, so you might be asking yourself, “How do I keep track of what kind of content is working on my Page?” Well, Facebook offers Page Insights free to all Page owners! What is Page Insights?
- MANAGE YOUR CONTENT THROUGH PAGE INSIGHTS How many of you have looked at your Page Insights? Page Insights is a great place to go to understand everything that is happening on your page as well as understand the people who have connected with your business on Facebook. Let's go over page insights first. You can access your Page Insights by clicking on "insights" right above your cover photo. Once you click on that you'll see an Overview bar with lots of different types of insights you an dig into. How many likes you've got this week, how many people are you reaching, how your posts are doing. I recommend you take some time and really dig into all the information here to really help you understand everything happening on your page. I want to talk about a couple things here to help you make better decisions about your marketing. People – Who are the people engaging with my business on Facebook? Do we have more women engaging then men? What age category do they fall into? What types of messages would my most engaged group want to see? The other interesting thing on to see here is where your fans are coming from. You can also see when the people engaged with your page are online so you know the best times to reach those folks. Is there more engagement on one day of the week over another? Is there a particular time when your fans are on using Facebook? When I worked at the SF marathon we found that our runners and fans were most engaged with the page earlier in the morning so we’d often post content by 7am-8am.

There’s a great tool on Facebook to compare you page on Facebook to other business pages you choose to add to your Pages to Watch tab. So if I’m Jaspers market perhaps I want to see how I compare to other grocery stores in the area. We can see how they are doing week over week for likes, shares, comments – overall engagement relative to us. Great way to gage on Facebook how you’re doing on Facebook for your particular industry. And finally, Posts - You can also see a breakdown of how each of your posts are performing so you know what type of content most resonates with your audience. So here you can see all the posts on Jasper’s Market page and you can see how each of the posts have done on their own as well as how some of them have done with additional paid promotion. If you’re testing some stuff out then this is a great way to a quick side-by-side comparison of what works best.
- You can also do this on the go in the Pages Manager app .We've built the ability for you to manage your page via mobile so that you can do whatever you need to do with just your phone, in a format that you're getting a lot of your other info to run your business.
- What's the Pages Manager App? Well, if you’re anything like my parents as business owners, you’re likely constantly on the go. For those that aren’t yet aware, I have great news – we have an app that allows you to easily manage your Facebook presence. You can download the Pages Manager app and use it to create posts on the go. Not only can you create a post from your phone, but you can also schedule it to post at a later date and time! So, if you know you’re having a great sale starting tomorrow, you can create the post today and set it to go live first thing tomorrow morning. Look for the Facebook Pages Manager app logo in your preferred App store.
- So, I just threw a lot at you: don’t worry! At the end of every section we walk through, I’ll highlight key points you should remember. Be relevant: Know your objectives, your customers and what conversations matter to your industry Use Insights: Use Insights to measure the impact of your posts and track who’s engaging with your Page Manage on Mobile: Use the Pages Manager app on your mobile device to manage your posts ----- Meeting Notes (1/28/16 14:53) ----- Manage on the go
- Okay, now that we have a Page, let’s talk about what we should do with it and how to start communicating with customers.
- When we think about the many different ways that we can reach these people who matter to us, your customers, there’s a few different options. Traditional forms of advertising like print and radio give you broad reach. You can reach subscribers or listeners within a particular area, but you’re not guaranteed to reach people who have expressed an interest in your product. That’s where Facebook differentiates itself from traditional media. Because of our targeting options, we can help you reach the people who are interested in the product or service that you offer. So you might be thinking – why do I care about the billion users on Facebook if I’m a local small business in [[ENTER CITY NAME HERE]]? Well – the second amazing thing beyond the reach capabilities on Facebook is our targeting options. While we do have the world at our fingertips on Facebook, what you likely care about as a local business owner or even an e-commerce site here in the US – is reaching the people who matter to you. Your customers and your potential customers. And Facebook’s targeting allows you to do just this.
- On Facebook, you’re not just limited to the basics when it comes to reaching the people who matter to you. With traditional channels – and many digital channels that are based on proxies, you’re limited to characteristics like age/ gender/ broad interests. With Facebook, people are already sharing about what they love, where they shop, what they are interested in, we can do precision targeting from this information that people are already sharing ____________________ Let’s use the example of Jasper’s Market that we’ve been using throughout the morning. So if I’m Jasper’s market, I want to reach out to men and women between the ages of 25 – 45 who live in the San Francisco area who are interested in organic and fresh foods, who shop locally. These are targeting options that are available on Facebook. And this means that we can deliver your ads and content to people who are most likely to be interested in your product. The second reason is that Facebook has precision targeting. On Facebook, you’re not just limited to the basics when it comes to reaching the people who matter to you. With traditional channels – and many digital channels that are based on proxies, you’re limited to characteristics like age/ gender/ broad interests.
- On Facebook, you can connect with real people who are sharing information about themselves – either in their profile or based on how they’re interacting with content on the site. This helps you reach the people who matter to you – in a granular way - with extreme precision. When you do this, you can deliver advertising and content that’s more relevant and valuable to them
- You can see that precision targeting at work here – you can use information people put on their profiles to help build your target audience for an ad.
- Facebook is one of a few companies with incredible access to data on consumers that doesn’t breach their privacy…from the information shared in profiles and to behaviors exhibited on our platform, to what we know about your life in the offline world…we use this data to create targetable audiences in a privacy safe way. These targetable audiences are “on the shelf” and based on proprietary Facebook data and data from trusted 3rd party sources, such as Acxiom, Datalogix, and Epsilon. The targeting segments are organized by targeting type: Interests, Location, Demographics, and Behavior. Interests: Reach people based on their interests, hobbies, and Pages they like on Facebook Location: Reach people in cities, countries, and communities where you want to do business Demographics: Reach people based on demographics like age, gender, education and more Behavior: Reach people based on their purchase behaviors, device usage, and other activities Both Facebook data and partner data are organized by these targeting types. For example, within Behaviors, you can target someone based on their device usage, which is powered by Facebook data, or their offline purchase behavior, which is powered by partner data. *Note that Partner Categories are only available within Core Audiences in the US at this time; they are being rolled out gradually internationally (UK, France, Germany launching on 2/24/14 and available through your Facebook representative).
