Social media’s role in today’s marketing cannot be overstated. Facebook alone reaches more than 1.71 billion people worldwide. Instagram, which will also be present, is an answer to the growing role visual content plays in marketing. At the same time, both platforms respond well to another important trend in advertising – the rise of mobile.

We receive constant feedback from our partners, that they are very satisfied with life-time value of traders acquired from Facebook. It has its roots in precise targeting methods of our platform – our accuracy is 85% vs. 65% internet targeting accuracy on average.

Facebook news-feed is a discovery experience, so it’s very efficient place for brands to present their value to potential clients. It is very important to remember that people are their real selves on Facebook, which means marketers can more accurately reach the people most interested in their product or service.

We have the measurement tools and data partnerships in place not only to show marketers that their ads work, but also to provide them with insights on how they can improve future campaigns.

First of all, it must be stressed that we treat such issues very seriously. Actions created by fake accounts or people without real intent are bad for people on Facebook, advertisers and Facebook itself.

Our abuse-fighting teams build and constantly update a combination of automated and manual systems that help us catch suspicious activity at various points of interaction on the site, including: registration, friending, liking and messaging.

We also monitor viral content for its authenticity, including content created during elections. We write rules and use machine-learning to catch suspicious behavior. When we catch fraudulent activity, we work to counter and prevent it – including blocking accounts and removing fake likes.

At the same time, we need to understand that there is no direct link between clicks and the majority of sales. Focusing on the last click is like giving credit to the sign outside of your store for driving all of your sales.

A recent study showed that on average, if you look at people who saw an ad on Facebook and later bought a product, fewer than 1 percent had clicked on the ad. Digital isn’t just about driving a fast click or immediate purchase; it’s also a powerful way to ring the cash register in store or drive an online sale days later.
