Are Your Facebook Ads Making Sense?

Digital marketing outfits Resolution Media and Kenshoo have published a new report that details research on Facebook ads and provides actionable tips for advertisers seeking to improve the performance of their social media campaigns.

“Exposure Rate,” a new metric to measure targeted engagement on Facebook, takes center stage in this report, based on a year-long study that analyzed global data spanning 65 billion Facebook ad impressions and 20 million Facebook ad clicks, according to Resolution Media.

The findings released today, June 21, represent a wide range of brands and categories including entertainment, finance, retail, and insurance, among others, it was stated.

Key highlights of the report include:

  • A new metric to measure engagement on Facebook – Exposure Rate – which looks at unique impressions in the context of desired target audience actually reached
  • The ideal Frequency Rate for ads across Facebook platforms – once a user has seen the ad seven times, there is a dramatic drop in engagement
  • How the High Exposure/Low Frequency  combination  translates to higher rates of conversion
  • Performance models for the entire Facebook ad portfolio, and which types are most likely to drive High Exposure/Low Frequency rates – such as Sponsored Stories.
  • Bidding and targeting strategies that support High Exposure/Low Frequency rates to deliver higher ROI
