The last two years has seen the explosion of social media
and social Networking. As a result there has been an increased use of online
advertising as more people are attracted to Internet advertising. Google
advertising is currently the kingpin of social marketing and business
advertising. However, Facebook advertising is growing in popularity and hence
it is important to understand how to run a Facebook ads report to help you
analyse your advertising campaign. In this article I will briefly describe the three
report types available on the "reports link" of your Facebook ads
manager - these are advertising performance, responder demographics and
responder profiles.
Report Type 1 -
Advertising Performance
When you click on your reports link in your ads manager you
will be presented a choice of the three reports I have already named above. The
advertising report performance report is very useful because it includes
valuable data like impressions, clicks, clickthrough rate (CTR) and spend. By
running this report you will be able to determine the number of different users
who clicked to view your ad. Another useful feature of the advertising
performance report is that it counts statistics for ads with "social
actions" attached. Facebook creates specific Facebook-specific social
action. This action can be seen in how users manage their social information,
communicate, gather and share information.
Report Type 2 -
Responder Demographics
This second report provides you with valuable data on the
different kinds of users clicking on your pay per click campaigns. The
demographic column provides you with information on the age, gender, country
and region of users who viewed your campaign. This report will provide you with
information on the number of unique clicks you got from people in a particular
area or region. Demographic data is very useful because it enables you to
easily find groups of people with a particular characteristic you are
interested in collecting more relevant information for further analysis. An
example is where you are offering a fitness product for women. You can use the
demographic data to find out regions that have a predominantly female
population. Further analysis could then be based on the hobbies of the female
population in that particular region.
Report Type 3 -
Responder Profiles
This third report provides you with valuable data about the
types of users who clicked on your campaigns based on the interests they have
listed in their personal Facebook profiles. You can gain valuable information
on users buying interests such as their favourite books, music, TV shows and
rank. You can make use of this information by sending your users Cost Per
Action (CPA) offers relating to their favourite films, books, music and travel
interests. This could be a good source of residual income.
It is very important to analyse your Facebook campaigns.
They are very easy to run and will save you the advertising costs of using an
expensive advertising agency. Site http://www.scarletmedia.net/en/portfolio_calzedonia_01.html
