This would give Facebook tremendous leverage when selling mobile advertising since it can tell potential advertisers how much its members are willing to spend on their products

Editor's Notes
- So how can you cut through the clutter?Industry estimates range from 56 to 82 Billion global downloads in 2012 with predictions for that number to more than double to 200 billion app downloads by 2017. Not surprisingly, Facebook has taken the top spot as the most downloaded free app of all time But marketers still face the challenge of differentiation or “discoverability” and ensuring usage of the app. For both, the initial app discovery but also the loyalty and engagement Facebook has a fantastic ad solution at hand.
- The news feed is the main event on mobile. And, given businesses can appear in the news feed, they can essentially takeover the entire homepage, resulting in the ultimate engagement with consumers. You can run a Page post with a link to your mobile app, which creates a more compelling opportunity to tell your story to users, compared to standard display ads.FB mobile Page post ads are 10-120% more likely to regularly draw attention than other ad typesLikelihood that FB ads and ss regularly draw attention on mobile as compared to other ad type10% more than Pre-roll or Mid-roll Ads22% more than Video Ads38% more than Banner Ads120% more than Pop-up AdsSource: Prosper Mobile Insights, July 2012.
- One of the challenges with the typical mobile display ad networks today is connecting with your real customers. It’s a broadcast tool, similar to a billboard on the side of the bus. You’ve got to hope that your customers are there. This limits the ROI of the messaging.Facebook has a solution for that: custom audiences. Now you can take the segmented lists you use for branch, call center, direct mail and statements, email, or your own website, and connect in the same way with your customers on Facebook. You can use custom audiences with Facebook’s other targeting capabilities to ensure you’re serving Android messaging to those users, or iPhone to their users. You can also use our demographic, lifestyle, and life stage targeting to further enhance your messaging strategy with Page posts.We recognize that using custom audienceis a big step forward for targeted advertising on Facebook, and will require additional conversations with your compliance and database marketing teams before testing can start. The good news is that you don’t have to wait until you’ve gotten approval to begin marketing your mobile app products on Facebook. You can use our existing targeting clusters and optimize your spend – our targeting capabilities are significantly better than other advertisers since we’re an authentic identity platform. But using custom audience can help ensure you’re only communicating with your existing customers.
- FEEDBACK – show more people highlighted in GreenWe recognize that you may have proprietary data that is specific to your customers. Your CRM database or an email list. With Custom audiences we provide the ability to use that information to reach those specific groups on Facebook 2 Options Available.

- Facebook’s modeled audience offering can help you find people who look like our best customers. You sometimes hear it referred to as “look-alike” modeling. Key features / benefitsLeverages Facebook data, millions of attributes for predictionAudience expansion or prospectingPower of Look-Alike Targeting: combining custom audiences data with FB’s robust user data to get to look-alikes.
- 76% more installs driven by this targeting group of keywords vs. the next best target group in the campaign.
- You can also update your SDK’s to get the most accurate metrics on app installs. This is similar to installing a conversion pixel at the bottom of the application funnel, just for mobile app installs.https://developers.facebook.com/preferredmarketingdevelopers/mobile/measurement/,
- Just like other channels and your other strategies on Facebook, the best results occur when there are clear goals and KPI’s, and scaling up using tests to learn and optimize along the way.Success on Facebook entails following these 3 steps:Set up a low-cost test, Test FB using the right tools and Scale it in increments as they find successIt’s important to understand that if you’re testing the Facebook platform for the first time, it takes some time to figure out the right ad copy, targeting and optimization before you hit your target CPI. In particular if you have a view window of about 7 days, it will take some time to fully count installs to access performance; that’s why we recommend a 6-week test. Note that during the testing process, your CPI can start as high as 3-5x but fall very fast as you get further along in the testing process.
