Looking to target new movers? You are not alone! Movers are one of the most highly sought-after audiences for many consumer brands.
Not only do movers make approximately 72 brand-related decisions and spend nearly $9,000 during the year surrounding the move, but for brands that offer products and services that are top of mind during the move process, this audience is critical for their success.
Despite the appeal of new mover acquisition marketing, many brands forget that messaging movers is best done across multiple channels. We often see clients come to us wanting to run weekly new mover campaigns via direct mail and are surprised when we offer to combine direct mail with email or digital and social channels to enhance performance.
On the social front specifically, Facebook has been an integral part of marketing campaigns since the launch of its Ads platform in 2007.
Whether you utilize Facebook’s core audience-building program, build a lookalike audience off of the best customers, or upload a custom audience, Facebook offers a variety of ways to target individuals.
As with any marketing channel, there’s a right time and a place to utilize them. The same goes for the different targeting capabilities Facebook offers. When thinking about how to target New Movers, consider what each targeting capability offers the campaign:
1. Core Audiences
Facebook’s core audience builder is a powerful tool that can be utilized for targeting an audience in many ways. Facebook knows its users, and this tool taps into that data and can target new movers quite well.
If you are looking to run a campaign in a specific market or a saturation mailing, this option is likely the best, as you’ll be able to target a larger reach of new movers within a specific area.
The downside of running campaigns through the core audience builder is looking at attribution across other marketing channels. It is difficult to know who you targeted via Facebook vs. an email or direct mail campaign for example. This is where utilizing the custom audience builder can help.
2. Custom Audiences
Speedeon can provide data to support solo or multi-channel campaigns for its clients.
Utilizing Facebook’s custom audience feature, campaign-specific lists can be uploaded into their system for targeting purposes. This is beneficial when you want to ensure you’re messaging the same people you sent an email or direct mail piece. You can also use it if there is already a specific group of people you want to target.
When using the custom audience feature, you must consider the campaign size. You will need to know specific information about the audience, such as email address, phone, name, etc. for the audience to be imported.
If this information is available, you will need to match the records between the provided information and what is on Facebook.
Because match rates can be low when using custom audiences, we recommend using this feature when there is significant volume in the campaign. That way, when you match into Facebook, you will yield more matches, thus potential ad targets.
To recap, if your brand is looking to target new movers, we are here to help you build high-performance, 100% privacy-compliant Facebook Custom Audiences that can also be utilized for cross-channel efforts like email and direct mail. Our process is simple.
