Top Five Digital Marketing Trends for 2017: Facebook Marketing & Online Audiences

As I travel around the country, I like to observe people and their behavior. On a recent trip, I found myself at the local mall and as I looked around, one thing was very obvious: Most people were looking down on their smart phone.

What do you think they are doing? You and I both know they are on social media and probably browsing their news feed on Facebook, searching for something on Google or Yelp or watching a video on YouTube.



* We need to transform the way that we look at social media.

* Social media strategies should help you market less and convert more sales.

* The problem with Facebook ads today is that many brands fail to properly align their offer with a specific target audience.

* This leads to low engagement and click through rates on their ad campaigns.

* When examining a Facebook Ad strategy, it is important to look at the pre-Ad experience, the experience during viewing the ad and the post-ad experience.

* Is there an alignment between where you are sending the traffic and your ad?

* What happens after they go to the page and they opt-in to be on your list?

* What is the experience that they get and is it aligned with what the Ad promised?

* Facebook employees will check your landing pages and even opt-in to your accounts in some occasions to make sure that the total ad experience to the customer is acceptable.

* Some of the most important things you need to consider with your Facebook ads include:
