Search: User says,“Here’s what I want”
Facebook: Advertiser says,“You’re the one
that I want” (hoo hoo hoo!)

6. This Is Where Facebook Excels
It pinpoints physical location and personality
“location” to help you reach exactly the type
of person you want.

• User location as a mindset
• User location as a physical presence
• Tailoring creative based on these
• Custom audiences
• Lookalike audiences

Supplement Email Efforts:

•Segmented audiences based on how email was acquired:
conferences, networking events, etc.

anniversary, birthdate, etc.

Bonus: Use ads as a test for images and copy that you can then
apply to your emails and site experience.
Anyone who visits your site: lowest level intent
People who visit specific pages: Product/service specific targeting,
higher intent, higher conversion rates
People Visiting Specific pages but not others: Segmented
audiences, even higher intent, i.e. shopping cart abandons
People who purchased: Upsells and testimonial requests
