[FREE REPORT] Finding the Sweet Spot for Search & Social Investment | Kenshoo

[FREE REPORT] Finding the Sweet Spot for Search & Social Investment | Kenshoo | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Excerpt...


To provide more research to help guide search and social strategies for marketers, Kenshoo analyzed paid search performance for the leading global information services company, Experian, in which certain segments of the target audience were exposed to both paid search and various levels of Facebook advertising while others were exposed to paid search alone.

 

The following research provides more evidence that Facebook advertising has a direct, positive effect on paid search performance, and that the cross-channel impact increases as the investment ratio of Facebook to paid search spending rises.

LinkedIn Ads: What I learned from spending a year and $100k on the platform - Econsultancy

LinkedIn Ads: What I learned from spending a year and $100k on the platform - Econsultancy | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Digest...


Targeting

Hands down LinkedIn has the most accurate targeting of any ad platform. Sure, Google has wider reach and Facebook has more categories, but for pure targeting, nothing beats LinkedIn. This is because LinkedIn users input the targeting data themselves; if they work in a bank, they put in their profile that they work in a bank.

 

Audience sizing

Now this is cool. When you're building your ad - before you have even paid anything - you can see exactly how big the ad audience is going to be (if it has over 1,000 people).

 

Self-service tool

LinkedIn does not have the most sophisticated ad engine (both Google and Facebook have more functionality), but it does the job.   You can put multiple people on one account, collaborate on ads, and easily do multiple versions of an ad in one campaign.  They also offer a dashboard to keep an eye on ad performance and a button to turn both ads and campaigns on and off.

 

The ads

The first complaint for those who start using the platform is the ad size. You are strictly limited to a 25 character headline, 75 characters in the body, and a 50x50 image.  With a bit of work, though, it is certainly possible to deliver an effective ad within those constraints.

 

Managing a large number of campaigns

The self-service tool was clearly designed for the small-scale advertiser in mind.  It handles your every need until you reach about 50 campaigns, and then the problems start. For one, every time you go to the ad tool you see every campaign - even those you have hidden. Also, spreading your campaign info across multiple pages makes getting a quick overview hard - and sometimes the ‘next page’ links don’t work. Finally, the absolute worst aspect of the self-service tool is ‘Duplicate Campaign.’ For some reason, LinkedIn forces you to pick the campaign to duplicate in a pop-up with a randomized list of all previous campaigns - with four campaigns per page.  It's awful.

 

Cost 

And finally, the biggest issue marketers have with LinkedIn is its high minimum CPC (US$2.00) and daily minimum per campaign (US$10). But this can be overcome as well. Although, you cannot change the minimums you can run your ads with a $2 CPM. Then, a click through greater than .1% will start bringing down the cost below $2 per click.

You can create a new snippet in the Twitter Ads UI. While you’re there, build an audience for remarketing then wait for the Twitter users to visit your page. In the example, a surfer dude checks out the new boards at the SoCal Surf Company. He’s not sure if he’s ready to buy so he leaves the website without making a purchase.  Later, surfer dude is on Twitter talking about the radical swells happening at the Bonzai Pipeline when a Promoted Account ad pops up in his Twitter feed – “Need up to the minute surf conditions? Follow us for updates!” SoCalSurfCo.

“Organic” is Dead, Say Hello to the Age of Paid Media - SocialMouths | #TheMarketingTechAlert

“Organic” is Dead, Say Hello to the Age of Paid Media - SocialMouths | #TheMarketingTechAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Basic/ Excerpt...


What’s definitely true is that Facebook worked hard on taking advertising to the next level during 2013, and in the following months we’ll probably continue to see more changes to its ad products and also to the News Feed algorithm.

 

But it’s not just Facebook, other networks like Twitter and LinkedIn have also been working on improving their advertising offerings throughout the past year. Should you expect similar moves from other networks? I don’t know, but you should start rethinking your social marketing and how your business has been reaching its audience all this time.

 

Simply putting out epic content, optimizing your post, adding hashtags and scheduling at the best times across all networks will no longer cut it in 2014.

Marteq's insight:

I don't think it matters if its a free vs. paid argument. What matters is that social now has such a reach that it makes sense to engage in a paid strategy over social, especially LinkedIn and Twitter's Lead Gen Card. As usual...TEST!

caught my attention.  organic may be on the downside in social media such as facebook, but it's like a healthy spanking new baby when it comes to organic seo.
