Editor's Notes
- The 30,000 foot view gives you two things to consider: 1.) Room 214’s agency perspective/approach to social media. 2.) A basic frame of reference by which to consider and plan carrying out your objectives
- Business.com 2009 B2B social media benchmarking study
- Approx 50% of users login daily, and spend a reported 4 – 5.75 hours/day on average
- 50% of Facebook users age between 18-34.
- Fastest growing segment is women over 45
- Common Facebook privacy issues are associated with the default settings, in addition to the potential lack of transparency regarding how data is collected and shared. BUT, you can control your own privacy settings.
- Think about what your audience can do, and what they can share
- Understand much of the off-the-shelf functionality falls short
- “ Top Stories” News Feed Algorithmic display of updates, heavily based on comment count from friends
- Establishing the right settings will help make a Facebook fan page more engaging
- Leading “Facebook starter recommendations” include enabling posts by admin AND fans and leveraging custom tabs
- A big mistake we see brands make is they setup a Facebook page and use it like any other media platform – for push advertising. Social media, and Facebook in particular, requires brands to be more engaged with their fans. Respond to comments and wall posts frequently! Be honest and remember that anything you post is a reflection of your brand
- Geo-targeted Facebook status updates will engage fans more effectively from a regional perspective – and also keep people from “un-liking” a page as a result of potential messaging not relevant to them
- Facebook used to have a restriction on invites, but no longer has them via the “Suggest to Friends” feature
- Facebook is making all the moves a company of their nature would make if they wanted to become a search engine.
- The graph combines comments, wall posts, and likes to show relative volume of interactions. • A new count of active fans this week, with full age/sex/location breakdown. • A new count of total interactions this week, broken down by type. • A new post quality rating, from 1 to 5 stars. • Graphs for Interactions, Interactions per Post, Post Quality, Stream CTR, Posts, Page views, Media Consumption, Reviews
- Facebook metrics can now be tied to the conversion tag for more detailed tracking. Facebook began beta testing conversion tracking in February of 2010
- Track how Facebook users get to your pages
- Facebook social plug-ins are great ways to build a fan base, however, some have demonstrated challenges with integration (Facebook Comments within a wordpress blog, for example)
- This is a favorite Facebook social plugin
- Community pages have created concern and confusion among brands who have intentionally invested in a Facebook presence to promote their brand, products and services. The verdict among many is TBD
- Facebook Applications
- Notice the unique ways to engage on this page. Leverage polling often. Consider showcasing a call to action to “like” the page on the landing tab
- YouTube integration is highly effective in Facebook. Companies can take advantage of uploading video in one central location that enables titles and descriptions (YouTube), yet still leverage the inherent benefits of share functionality in Facebook. This is one of the more popular 214 Apps Room 214 provides for Facebook fanpages
- Video voting, local polls, assigning of badges all contribute to high Facebook fan engagement
- Enable fans to be notified of information, and/or have a resource they can rely on for timely content important to them.
- If the content justifies it, consider a tabs-within-a-tabs navigation
- Room 214 provides custom facebook application development and design for the Word of Mouth Marketing Association. The screenshot includes slide show functionality, in addition to a custom events calendar.
- Room 214 provides custom facebook navigation, Twitter, video and news integration for Pearl Izumi

- A paradigm shift is required to understand the value of Facebook advertising.
- Social media is the grease in the marketing funnel
- This is a Blitz Local slide provided by Dennis Yu
- We appreciate the ROI companies are attempting to assign to the value of a Facebook fan, but also understand potential holes in the data/research
- Facebook advertising can be a great way to make Facebook users aware of your brand’s page. Be sure your ad links to your page and has a strong call-to-action. Also, use the targeting capabilities Facebook offers to reach the best audience for your message. Targeting options include: country, state, city, age, gender, relationship status, language, education, companies worked for, connections.
- Facebook “friends of connections” advertising: A fan base of 5000+ is helpful for leveraging this option most effectively. Target people who like your pages, applications, groups or events. In this slide we see the estimated reach of this ad campaign is approx 112Million prior to running it through a friends-of-connections filter (which limits the reach to only 153,960.
- Most people think CPC is the way to go. Be willing to experiment with getting better results with CPM.
- Facebook advertising recommendations include leveraging friends of connections filtering, driving ad traffic to custom tabs, tracking conversions, testing and using custom applications
