Michael Weisfeld presented on optimizing Facebook for return on investment (ROI). He introduced the AIDAA model for Facebook with phases of Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action, and Advocacy. Tactics for each phase include promotions, contests, engaging content, calls to action, and tools for users to spread content. The goal is to drive traffic, fan growth, engagement, website visits, and advocacy through organic sharing.
