THE OLD WORLD
THE NEW WORLD In September, Facebook made a change to its algorithm, drastically
reducing the reach of business posts.
In December, they did it again.
Now an estimated only 3% of your followers will see your posts if you
don’t advertise.
WHY? USER EXPERIENCE
& CA$H
NEW FACEBOOK STRATEGIES
1. Optimize posts for sharing.
2. Re-evaluate your Facebook investment.
3. Engage your fans elsewhere.
4. Pay up. (cheap… for now)
Post and advertise, or don’t post.
ADVANTAGES OF ADVERTISING • Greater reach
• Greater targeting
• Protection against wasting money
• It won’t run if people don’t click
FACEBOOK AD TARGETING • Your Facebook followers

• Even specific pages
• People who are interested in pertinant organizations
NOT ALL AD METHODS
ARE CREATED EQUAL

STEP 1: SET OBJECTIVE Think about your goal and the type of post your advertising.
EXAMPLE AD TYPES • PAGE POST ENGAGEMENT – Image, video or text
• PAGE LIKES – Get more Likes on your Facebook page
• CLICKS TO WEBSITE – Drive traffic to your website
• OFFER CLAIMS – Like a coupon, with “Get Offer” button
• EVENT RESPONSES – Includes event details and RSVP link
PAGE POST ENGAGEMENT AD • Promoting your POST will get more INTERACTION.
• Why you should use it:
• To get more video plays and engagement on photos
• To let your customers know of sales and specials
EXAMPLES
PAGE LIKES AD • Promoting your PAGE will get more LIKES.
• This was more important when Likes “guaranteed” that
you would show up in their news feed.
• Now it is good for when you advertise to your fans
(because you have them!).
EXAMPLE
CLICKS TO WEBSITE AD • Promoting your WEBSITE will get more WEB TRAFFIC.
• Why you should use it:
• There is something else to see on your business website or blog
• Prompt lead generation
EXAMPLE
OFFER CLAIMS AD • Promoting your OFFER will get more REVENUE.
• Why you should use it:
• Allow customers to claim special deals you’re running
• Organic reach: Kendra claimed this deal!
• INSTANT GRATIFICATION!
EXAMPLE
EVENT RESPONSES AD • Promoting your EVENT will get more ATTENDANCE.
• Why you should use it:
• Same as offers, but no purchase is made
• Organic reach: Kendra is going!
EXAMPLE
STEP 2: SELECT AD PLACEMENT Where do you want your ad to show up?
STEP 3: DEFINE YOUR AUDIENCE A more targeted audience means more engagement.

Questions?
NEW Advice for a
World
“NEW” ADVICE Mimic what you see on the platform. Content is King, but context
is even more important.
Don’t interrupt or be intrusive. Talk about what they’re talking
about.
Example: My late talking son.
“NEW” ADVICE Share “jabs,” non-direct to your offering. Aim to hit an emotion
so hard that the customer wants to share it, because it will say
as much about them as your festival.
Example: Remember when you were little and asked for ice
cream. What happened?
“NEW” ADVICE Be a real person, like a friend. Share:
• Entertainment to help them escape
• Useful information they can utilize
“NEW” ADVICE Leverage pop culture
• Show customers you love the music, shows, etc. they do
• BE READY when something happens you can leverage
• Examples: Ponchos, Harlem Shake, Oreos, Sound of Music
