It is crucial to stop and take a step back and plan the campaigns and activities towards the goal. Think of what you would like to achieve and build a campaign around to achieve the end goal instead of looking what the capabilities of the tools/channel and spend the marketing dollars.

Planning is as crucial as the execution part of digital marketing and will ensure the success of your campaigns. Understand your target audience and persona as well to better optimise your campaign. Look at existing Google analytics data and recognise trends and personas with higher value activities such as conversions from a specific group of people.

With that in mind let’s discuss how we can use this “filter” to optimise your Facebook campaigns.

With Flex targeting, you can radically reduce the cost of acquisition as you would be spending less of your marketing budget on people who are not interested in your product or service. It is all about the balance with these filters. You do not want to target an audience that is too narrow as you will not get much traffic and may incur more charges especially through a CPM buy.

Having said that digital marketing still offers the most accountability of where your marketing dollars go as it offers complete transparency of the actions from the user. It provides the best way to reach a highly targeted audience if done correctly. It is also the most flexible way of acquiring leads as budgets can be easily reallocated to a certain channel that is performing.
