Why do most Facebook Ad Campaigns Fail?

  • [07:00]
  • Most business owners do not know their numbers
  • Going to facebook, spending money on ads, but don’t have Key Performance Indicators setup
  • Most businesses really don’t know who they’re marketing to
  • Their customer avatar is very “thin”
  • Facebook is a great platform, but it doesn’t do the marketing work for you

How to identify your Customer Avatar

  • [09:30]
  • This is the “ideal person” that you are trying to do business with
  • Like building a FBI profile, you should have a robust profile of the type of person you are targeting with your marketing

How to find the Psychographic Information

  • [11:50]
  • 30-40 years ago you had to do focus groups
  • Today, people tell you everything they think and feel on the internet
  • Find where your customers hang out (blogs, social media), and follow them and observe what they say
  • Sit on blogs and read all of the comments, develop the information trends and find out how you need to target your marketing
  • You must do the front-end marketing work to be successful with back-end advertising
