A coffee shop can
target audiences already
following rival coffee
shops in the city, or
even people who are
similar to your follower
base, a great way to find
your target audience.

General Tips
• Use free social media to beta-test your paid social ads
• Take advantage of targeting features
• Rotate ads frequently (week on/week off) to avoid ad fatigue
• Send out several “test” ads to small audiences, track the results, and then
pushing winning ads to larger groups. It’s cheaper and more effective
• Understand how ads are sold and adapt your content accordingly
• Design your ads with smartphones in mind.

The Coca Cola Example
For Super Bowl XLVIII, Coke wanted to
celebrate their core positioning around
happiness, and illustrate it using the
diversity of Americans. To do this, Coke
developed a film, “America Is Beautiful,”
which aired during Super Bowl XLVIII
on both TV and Facebook.
For each group, they customized the
thumbnail and copy that appeared in
people’s News Feeds.
Try doing that with TV.

The Strategy
Planning is key. Make sure to make a competitor analysis to learn about trends in your market, what
your competitors are doing, what works and what doesn’t.
Develop a 12 months strategy for your brand following the R.A.C.E concept:
Reach: Grow your audience
Act: Encourage brand interactions and leads
Convert: Increase Sales
Engage: Build customer loyalty and advocacy
PATIENCE IS ALSO KEY
