Rocket Fuel platform defines the value of Facebook ad campaigns

Last Updated: August 5, 2020By

Rocket Fuel UK has recently released technology that helps marketers understand the value of Facebook ad campaigns as a stand-alone strategy or when integrating the medium with mobile, display and search. Social Booster for Facebook automates creation, monitoring and management through intelligent bidding, multivariate creative testing, segmentation, automated optimization, and cross-channel analytics. The data includes first- and third-party, social, Web, weather, search, retargeting, and more.

The platform optimizes campaigns every 10 minutes. It can build mass-scale audiences by understanding how the smaller segments — micro-segments — operate, according to Richard Frankel, Rocket Fuel president and cofounder. “If you build lots of them, you can build super-scalable media for major brands to better understand in greater amount of detail how consumers interact with brands,” he said.

The age of audience buying is over, replaced by micro-segments, Frankel said. Rather than treating 20 million people as men ages 25 to 34, break down the massive segment into smaller bits — for example, 26-year-old single men who live in Wichita and buy electronics. The challenge is that to make it work for a big marketer you need many, he said.

Traditionally that has been challenging, because marketers historically managed these segments with spreadsheets. Managing 100,000 micro-segments manually becomes impossible. Building an audience in Facebook becomes managing consumers in micro-segments. This segmentation approach aims to make targeting in Facebook more successful and profitable.

Social media and the expectation that consumer data will explode in the coming year remain the two technology areas that CMOs worldwide are least prepared for, but most committed to invest in, according to eMarketer. The research firm points to a study from IBM that shows marketers will continue to use customer data to help them better reach unique audience segments.

The IBM research states that 61% of CMOs said they use customer data for segmentation and targeting. In the next three to five years, 82% of CMOs surveyed worldwide will increase their technology investment in social media, and 81% plan to focus on customer analytics and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions.

To achieve better sales and profits, most companies could be doing more to cultivate business from their existing customers. However, enthusiasm for customer-retaining strategies must not endanger sound customer-getting efforts. How companies balance the two is the big question. To intensify reaching old customers while still seeking new ones, for many firms, will mean changes in market analysis, planning systems, management incentives, and marketing and/or operations organization. In the rush toward growth, consumer marketers have tended to regard success as stemming from obtaining new customers while unwittingly minimizing the importance of satisfying old ones. It is time for more companies to distinguish between their getting and retaining functions, to assess the balance between them, and to remedy any deficiencies in customer retention. This process requires management to value the potential of current customers and to treat them in special ways to get them to keep coming back. Several major elements should be part of the new marketing mix for customer retention: Product extras Keeping customers frequently requires giving them more than the basic product that initially attracted them. Product extras for individual customers over time can play a sales-expansive role. Reinforcing promotions Product promotion works better when aimed at existing customers. If a marketer knows who these customers are, benefits can be obtained by giving them reinforcing communications. Sales force connections The sales force can play a decisive role in the customer-retention function. At a retail or service counter the salesperson is the focal point of the company's strategy and is the firm to the customer. Post-purchase communication A company must anticipate that some customers will encounter either minor or serious problems after purchasing. If the firm is not ready to hear and correct these difficulties, the customer may not repurchase  or may cancel the the relationship. Whether company or customer is at fault, standby post-purchase activities can be instrumental in saving these customers.
