  1. Targeting

Targeting is the first success key for Facebook advertising which helps your ads get in front of the right audience. To target, the right audience is very important because as I mentioned earlier there are a massive number of different kinds of audiences on Facebook, with over 3 billion monthly active users.

3 ways to target ads on Facebook.

  • Core Targeting
  • Custom Audience
  • Lookalike Audience

Core Targeting

Core Targeting is well-defined and can be broad how advertisers like.

This is considered as the entry-level in Facebook ads targeting to target your ads in front of an audience who may be near you in a radius based on demographics, location, age, gender, what FB page they like, what they interested in, hobbies, else or their behavior online and if they’re connected to your FB page or not. This data is pulled by Facebook which is shared in your profile and behaviors you exhibit because people usually share information about themselves.

To create a Core Audience, you‘ll be able to go directly on Facebook and target the relevant areas you offer:

  • Go to the Audience section on your FB page
  • Select the location which helps to get your ad who live in the area’s relevant areas to your product or business (i.e., cities, states, zip code)
  • Select the Interest section where you can target the people based on the information they share on FB
  • Select the Behaviors section where you can target people based on other interests. E.g., what type of device they use, how they shop, etc.
  • Other targeting options are based on demographics, behaviors, who already like your page, or people who aren’t connected to your page.

Custom Audience
Facebook Custom Audience is another powerful ad targeting option that helps to find your existing audiences among the people on Facebook. It makes it easier to reconnect with the people on FB who have already shown interest and relationship with, your business and products. Instead of targeting the people who haven’t heard anything about your business, maybe there is a much better chance to get a sale if you target the people who’d already been to your site or business.
There are types of Custom Audiences that you can create are:
Website Custom Audience
First, install Facebook Pixel on your Website so that FB can match the site visitors to their FB profiles, and with the help of this information, you can create a custom audience that targets the website visitors.
Customer list Custom Audience
These lists offer you to let FB know about the existing relationships you have with your customers which cannot be mapped through Facebook engagement or Facebook Pixels.
Engagement Custom Audience
Allows you to target the people on Facebook who have already interacted with your business
App activity Custom Audience
This is used for app engagement campaigns, where you can target the people who have downloaded your app, who have made purchases, or who have achieved a certain level in your game.
Up to 500 custom audiences you can create per ad account.

For example: suppose take an example an e-commerce website to remarket the people who had visited our online shop. You can do that by using this type of remarketing called Dynamic Product Remarketing.

Lookalike Audience
You can use Lookalike’s audience to target the people who were already interacted with your business like your current customer’s website visitors or Facebook fans. This allows scaling your marketing efforts extremely efficiently.
What they actually do is

Use your source audience to find similar people on Facebook. You can create a lookalike audience based on a custom audience of people who have visited your website or people who already like your Page (you need a minimum of 1,000 contacts list).

E.g. You had a source audience of 10,000 people and you want to scale it into a targeted audience of 2 million people who were similar to that audience of 10,000 people who had already visited your website.

How start from Scratch?

Core Targeting -> Custom Audience -> Lookalike Audience

First, you need to run an ad starting using Core targeting interests that type of stuff then you get those people which maybe come to your website or have a look at your app you can create Custom audience of those people and then on the back of that, you could create a lookalike audience. This is a process that you can build up and take an advantage of all these types of audiences even if you start from scratch.

2. Funnels

Facebook Funnels is also a marketing strategy that helps to increase ROI, generate new leads and grow your business. People first become aware of your product then they actually consider taking an action like watching a video or visiting your website. And finally, they will converge make a sale or sign up or visit your store/business in person. These are marketing funnels.
In Google, we don’t talk a lot about funnels. Because people are already decided to buy anything or are interested in them so they google or searching them on Google ads. Whereas in Facebook, people are really there to connect with family and friends, and so, you may need to make people more aware of your product first and then start to move them down the funnel towards the sales.
