Introduction
At Facebook, we believe businesses are better in a connected world. We are helping to create that world by connecting over 845 million people and their friends to the things they care about.
For marketers, its the power of these real connections and the authentic conversations they enable that makes Facebook a powerful marketing tool. When people engage with your business on Facebook, their friends are able to see the connection.
People have always relied on their friends to help them make decisions and to discover new things. Marketing on Facebook allows you to tap into that behavior by adding social context that shows peoples interactions with your business to their friends. A well-run campaign that leverages social activity generates a return on investment of 3x or greater1.
This guide is designed to help you set up Facebook Ads and sponsored stories to help you start conversations with your fans, their friends, and a targeted audience in a relevant and compelling way. Ads let you connect with a new audience. Sponsored stories start with a Page post or another action that someone takes with your Page, app or event, and help you build deeper relationships with people youre already connected to.
To learn more about Facebook Ads and sponsored stories, and to see examples of each, go to: http://www.fburl.com/?key=2332387.
Based on a variety of industry techniques including media mix modeling and other test/control approaches.
Changes to how you create ads and sponsored stories

Weve updated how you create ads and sponsored stories to put the people you want to reach at the center of the ad creation process. You can now share new types of stories and more relevant messaging.
Three new capabilities:

1. The updated Destination field enables you to promote any Page, event and website, or any app that you manage. 2. Broad Category and Precise Interest targeting can be used together to target very specific groups. 3. Objective helps you optimize the delivery of your promotion to reach your business objectives. Well revisit each of these new features in detail later in the guide.
1. The destination you enter in the field will be the place people will go when they click on your ad or sponsored story.
2. Broad Category and Precise Interest targeting can be used together to choose a very specific audience for your ad or sponsored story. When you target mutiple Broad Categories, your reach will increase. Adding Precise Interest targeting will give you a smaller, but more precisely-targeted group.
3. Objective helps you deliver your ad or sponsored story to the people who are most likely to respond to your campaign in the way thats most important to you. You can choose from a variety of objectives including: Page likes, app installations, or clicks on your ads or sponsored stories.
Getting Started
There are three ways to begin creating an ad or sponsored story.
1. Go to facebook.com/ads/create
2. From your homepage, click the Create an Ad link
3. On the admin panel of your business Facebook Page, go to Build Audience and click on Create an Ad
Creating your ad or sponsored story

1. Set Up Your Ad or Sponsored Story
Specify what you want to promote by typing the name of a Page, event, app or website into the Destination field. You can promote any Page, event, or website, but you can only promote apps you manage.
Promote your Page, and not a specific post. Promote a Page post. Choose to always promote your most recent post or pick a specific post. Create a new ad by writing the content and choosing an image. Make sure to clearly explain what you are promoting, the unique qualities of your product or service, and special offers. End with a clear call-to-action so people know what to do when they see your ad. Show sponsored stories about people liking your Page to their friends.
Does an agency or another department of your business manage your Page? You can still promote it by sponsoring the following types of stories: All posts from the brand Any like of the Page Any like on Page posts from the brand
2. Choose Your Audience

When using Broad Targeting, Facebook reaches its intended audience 95% of the time versus an online industry average of 72% of the time. For narrow targeting, Facebook reaches its intended audience 90% of the time versus an online industry standard of 35%2. You can target people by location, age, gender, interest, and many other variables.
Precise Interest targeting lets you reach people based on information theyve provided in their profile (timeline). This information is pulled from their listed likes and interests, the Pages they like, apps they use, and other information theyve added to their timeline.
When you enter an interest, an additional menu will appear under the headline Suggested Likes and Interests to allow you to choose other, related likes and interests.
Nielsen, Reaching the Right Audiences Online, October 2011
Typing # before a Precise Interest lets you choose people who expressed a related interest. For instance, typing #Cooking lets you reach people interested in cooking, cooking tips, and cooking and eating. Without the #, you would have targeted only people who are interested in cooking.
Broad Categories helps you target specific groupsfor instance, people who have recently moved or gotten engaged, or groups like Baby Boomers. Check off the categories you want to reach.
Using Precise Interests and Broad Categories together helps you focus on a very specific audience for your ads or sponsored stories. For example, if youre selling cookware, you may want to show your ad or sponsored story to people who like cooking and who have just gotten engaged and might be selecting gifts for their wedding registry. Choosing the Broad Category Engaged <6 months and the Precise Interest #Cooking will allow you to reach this group.
Choose an audience thats already connected to the Page or app youre promoting or reach their friends.
Target people based on their relationship status, the languages they speak, their education, and where theyve worked.
Ads and sponsored stories perform better when they are targeted to at least 100,000 users. Always check your estimated audience to make sure its large enough.

3. Objective
Facebook advertising helps you achieve a variety of business objectives such as conversions, sales or brand awareness. The Objective section lets you specify whether you want Facebook to show your ad or sponsored story to the people most likely to like your Page, install your app or click on your ad or sponsored story. For example, if you want to grow your audience, select show this to people who are most likely to like my Page from the Objective field.
If you want more people to install your app, select show this to people who are most likely to install my app.
If you want more people to click on your ad or sponsored story, select click on my ad or sponsored story.
If you are advertising a website outside of Facebook, you will optimize for clicks. When you select like my Page or install my app in the Objective section, youll automatically pay for your ad or sponsored story based on the number of impressions you receive (CPM). This means you will only pay when someone sees your ad, which works best for campaigns to build awareness or grow your audience. When you select click on my ad or sponsored story, youll automatically pay for the number of clicks you receive (CPC) and you can specify how much you would like to pay for each click.
Not sure which Objective you should be optimizing for? Set up a campaign with two identical ads, one to optimize for clicks and the other to optimize for Page likes or app installs. You can then see which Objective is best for achieving your business goals.

4. Campaign, Pricing and Schedule

This is where you name your campaign, choose how youll pay, and tell Facebook when to run your ad or sponsored story. If you chose click on my ad or sponsored story as your Objective, youll pay each time someone clicks on your ad or sponsored story.
Type a name for your campaign.
Enter your maximum budget. We will never exceed this number. Choose the start and end dates for your campaign, or click the check box to start running it today.
The suggested bid ranges based on the bids that are currently winning the ad auction for the users youve chosen to target. Youre not required to bid within this range, but we recommend using it to help ensure that youre getting a good amount of impressions or clicks.
If youve chosen Page likes or app installs as your Objective, youll pay per thousand impressions (CPM). An impression is any time someone sees your ad or sponsored story.
Give your campaigns distinct names like labor_day_promotion_2012_PageLikes_US that make it easy to remember the targeting objectives you chose.

5. Place Order or Review Ad

Once youre satisfied with your choices, you can place your order immediately by clicking the Place Order.
After you place your order, your ad or sponsored story will go through the Facebook review process before going live. Please allow up to 24 hours for this process. Clicking Review Ad will allow you to preview and edit your ad or sponsored story

Examples
A local bakery with the goal of creating awareness
Bob is a baker in Sunshine, Texas. He wants to run ads to build awareness of his custom cake business among event-planning and catering businesses near him. First, he sets up a Page on Facebook to showcase photos of the special cakes he makes.
While on his Page, he clicks on the Build Audience drop-down in the admin panel and selects Create an Ad.
14
He follows the process to run an ad on Facebook, selecting his Page as a destination, and clicking the button to run a new ad about his Page.
The process automatically pulls in a title, image and body copy for the ad, and shows people who already like his Page. He restricts the ad to people in Sunshine, TX, and selects #Event planning, #Event management, and #Catering from Precise Interests to make sure that event planners and caterers in his area will see his message.

Then he tells Facebook to show the ad to people who are most likely to click on it.
Finally, he sets a campaign budget, and places his order.

A national retailer with the goal of engaging its audience

Jaspers Grocery is a health-food store with locations across the United States. It has a thriving fan base, but it wants to build deeper relationships with its fans. First, it establishes a regular schedule of posting to its Page five times per week, and tracks the engagement of its current audience on a post-by-post basis.

When it understands what content its audience find most engaging, it decides to run a Facebook marketing campaign to ensure that its entire audience sees its most recent posts. It navigates to facebook.com/ads/create, and chooses to promote its most recent Page post.
The process automatically pulls in its latest post, as well as a title, image and body copy. It also shows how many people have already liked the post, commented on it, and shared it.
