You already know that one of the strongest selling points of the Facebook Ads platform is the ability to target your exact audience. However, in recent months we’ve introduced new features to expand this – and have also learned a lot in terms of hypertargeting your exact audience.
In Facebook, we look at the targeting available through our system as two “buckets”.Structured is specific information we ask people to fill in – they don’t need to enter it all in, but it gives us a very specific answer if they do – be it their location, their gender, where they work, or their relationship staus.Unstructured is information that we let people fill out themselves, without given specific options – activities, things people are interested in, their favourite music and books. One of the key questions we get relates to targeting Groups, Pages and Applications – we can confirm that we take this content into consideration when allowing advertisers to target users. For example, I’m a Fan of the Arsenal FC official Page, and therefore advertisers who target people with an interest in “Arsenal FC” will have me in their target group.

Has anyone seen this Facebook home page “house ad”? How many times? Once? Twice? Ten times?Unlike Google AdWords, where you could “set and forget” your ad for an extended period of time, letting it run and getting responses, Facebook Ads require A LOT more tender loving care in order to perform. This is something that’s probably fairly different than what you’re used to doing for optimising your ads on search. On search, your customer generally sees your ad once, clicks, and buys. On Facebook, because you’re building brand awareness and generating demand over time, it’s fairly common that a user may see your ad many times before clicking on it – so to keep their interest, different creatives are needed. One of the key things to keep in mind when running Facebook Ads is that ad fatigue can kick in quite quickly. We have a rule of thumb based on our observations – when an ad generates 3x the impressions of the target audience size, it’s time to try a new creative. “Ad fatigue” – applicable to all online advertising (especially banner ads)

Seasons work to your advantage.Ads using present tense, current events paint a picture that the ad is current and relevant.
Sometimes companies set up Facebook ads that, when clicked, direct people to a page different than expected. BAD PRACTICE.
Ads should direct people to the exact place they say they will. If the ad mentions a form direct straight to that form, etc.
Set up tabs to keep users withinFacebook.
Set up ads that direct users to shops within Facebook.
