Sociographic Marketing using Facebook

17 12 2009

Sociographic Marketing is the ability to segment people by social status and life cycles. Facebook allows us advertisers to start using demographics to refine our market, but uses sociographics to improve an already qualified set of data.

For example, a mortgage agent may be looking for find new home buyers in a certain area. We would start by targeting using demographics (city, age), but then could dip into a much larger database of knowledge including their social behaviours (recently engaged, having a baby etc.). This enables us to extend our marketing reach into groups of people that are much more than an age / location, but a person with a real-time agenda for their next year of life.

Sociographics are now becoming popular to target because we actually have this information online now. Google Search is wonderful for targeting people who are actively searching for a service, Social Media sites such as Facebook allow us to get access to people minutes after they update their status (Wow, I'm engaged!), interests (boating & cigars) and affiliations (Darrell just joined the Aids in Africa Group).

Paid Advertising on Facebook – Amazing Targeting!

25 09 2009

Advertising on Facebook is not only cost effective for small businesses, but extremely targeted! Facebook allows you to target based on Demographics, sociographics, geographics, marital status (including engaged), group associations and interests! If that's not enough, their interests also link into their actual profession in their profile, so you can be as specific as targeting Business Owners, CEO's and VP's of large organizations.

The major difference in Facebook Ads and our most commonly used Google Adwords, is that it is within the category of interruption marketing. People who are actively searching on Google for a product or service will have a much higher conversion rate than someone who casually noticed the ad and checked out the site. In our experience, Google Search traffic has more often provided our clients with a higher conversion rate, but it can also cost up to 10 times more…

Depending on what you are targeting and your type of business, Facebook may or may not be the solution for your company, but it is worth a peek! We have been managing major Facebook Campaigns for large enterprises with incredible results in this past year and have learned the in & outs of this new platform. Interested in finding out more?
