15
Campaign brief (1/2 day)
• Beware of volumes of ‘likes’ as targets or promises
• This is simply database acquisition
• Monitor ‘talking about’ score after and if this is 5% or lower you have got it
wrong.
• Quality targeting = reach < but higher value likes for commerce
• Quantity targeting = reach >, more ‘noise’
• Ultimate aim is BOTH!

Pitfalls
• Do NOT build your own Facebook
applications. This is a waste of
money.
• Yes – you need an App – its against
FB guidelines to not use them.
• App builds can be unpredictable.
Technology is newer and prone to
issues. Simpler is better
• Do not overcomplicate the mechanic
