CAMPAIGN DATA SOURCES Flashcards
What are Campaign Data Sources?
Data sources are tools, connections, pieces of code or other objects that capture the interactions people make. Select the right data source for you based on your business type. Use data sources on your website, mobile app or in your store so that you can measure actions like views, adds to cart and purchases. There are three campaign data sources that are important for businesses who want to focus on performance marketing.
3 Campaign Data Sources?
Facebook Pixel, Facebook SDK, & Offline Conversion
What is the Pixel Data Source?
The Facebook pixel is a piece of code you place on your website to understand how people interact with your content after seeing your ads. When you share this information with Facebook, Facebook can deliver ads to people more likely to take action. You can use what you learn from Facebook pixel to build more effective ads and audiences.
The Facebook pixel implementation process consists of the following steps:
1 Create a Facebook pixel in Ads Manager
2 Add the system-generated base code to our
website or connect a partner platform
3 Confirm the pixel is working with our Pixel Helper tool
4 Add Standard Events or Custom Events
5 Start building, optimizing and measuring
What is the Pixel Helper Data Source?
The Facebook Pixel Helper is a troubleshooting tool that helps you to determine if your pixel is working correctly. It can aid you in confirming that the pixel is installed on your website, check for errors and understand the information that you receive from the pixel.
You can use the tool to ensure that the Facebook pixel is performing optimally and properly logging actions, also referred to as “events,” taken on your website. Standard events and custom events are the two event categories available to help you monitor your website activity.
What is the Automatic events Data Source?
Automatically logged events are actions that the Facebook pixel measures by default unless you’ve disabled this functionality. Events logged include actions taken from mobile browsers.
What is the Standard events Data Source?
Facebook pixel’s standard events are logged actions that are predefined by Facebook. With standard events you can capture specific actions, optimize for conversions and build audiences. You may elect to implement standard events if your information collection needs are typical. Examples of standard events include Purchase, Add to Cart and Lead.
What is the custom events Data Source?
Custom events for the Facebook pixel are logged actions that are defined by you to serve your information collection needs. You may elect to implement these events if your information collection needs are atypical.
With custom events, you can capture specific actions and build audiences. However, our system won’t allow you to optimize towards these events or show their numbers in reporting unless they are mapped to a custom conversion.
What are Custom conversions Data Source?
You can create custom conversions for both standard and custom events. Custom conversions let you create rules for pixel events or URLs, so you can measure more specific customer actions. For example, you can create a rule to report on and measure all purchases that were over $40 using pixel events and parameters.
what is targeting with fb pixel data source?
Targeting with Facebook pixel:
The Facebook pixel allows you to direct your ad at people based on specific actions they have taken on your website. You can use the information you get from your pixel standard or custom events to create Custom Audiences from your website. For example, you can:
· Entice people who have visited your website by offering a discount on their purchase to push them through and convert.
· Deliver your ad to people who’ve added items to their cart with text that tells them to buy the items before they’re sold out.
· Change the ad creative and message for people who’ve already started the checkout process but didn’t complete the purchase.
You can also use that Custom Audience from your website to create Lookalike Audiences. Lookalike Audiences are created by Facebook to help you reach people who are similar to (or “look like”) an audience that you care about.
Optimization with Facebook pixel data source?
Optimization with Facebook pixel
One of the most powerful steps you can take to prompt action on your website is optimizing for conversions (“conversion optimization”). This can include anything from visiting a page to completing a purchase. When creating an ad set, you have to choose an optimization event (a pixel event to optimize to). This choice tells our delivery system what result to try to get for you.
When thinking about measuring pixel events and which ones to choose, it’s important that you select different steps throughout the entire consumer journey.
Here is just one example of what pixel events, on an ecommerce website, you might want to log.
1 View content
2 Add to wish list
3 Add to cart
4 Initiate checkout
5 Add payment details 6 Purchase
Facebook SDK ?
The Facebook SDK is an analytics tool that enables you to capture and measure the actions people take in your app. You can use Facebook SDK to direct, measure and optimize the delivery of your ads to people most likely to take action.
The Facebook SDK implementation process consists of the following steps:
1 Register your app with Facebook
2 Associate your ad account with your app
3 Download and add the SDK to your app
4 Confirm the SDK is working with our App Ads Helper
5 Add App Events to your app
6 Start building, optimizing and measuring
App Ad Helper
The Facebook App Ad Helper is a troubleshooting tool that helps you to determine if your SDK is working correctly. It can aid you in confirming that the SDK
is firing app installs, when the last one was fired and showing you the Facebook app setup for your app, SDK
integration and deep link integration. This will ensure that the Facebook SDK is performing optimally and properly logging app events that occur on your app.
App events are comprised of three event categories available to help you monitor your app activity. The three categories are automatic events, standard events and custom events.
Automatic events (fb sdk)
Automatically logged events are actions that the Facebook pixel measures by default unless you’ve disabled this functionality. These events include app installs, app sessions and in-app purchases.
Custom events
Facebook SDK’s custom events are measured actions that are defined by you to serve your particular information collection needs. These events function the same as they do for pixel, except for your app instead of your website.
Targeting with Facebook SDK app events
You can share information from the SDK app events to create Custom Audiences. Like the Facebook
pixel, Custom Audiences for Facebook SDK allows you to direct your ads to people based on specific actions they have taken on your app. You can use the information you get from your App Events to create Custom Audiences from your app. Creating Custom Audiences can help you to measure the performance of your mobile app ads, and direct your ads to the right people.
