Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 199 Managing Off-Facebook Activity In Facebook news, you’ll now have access to a tool to manage your off-Facebook activity. This new tool was designed to give people greater transparency over the data other apps and websites share. While this feature is rolling out, here are four points about managing off-Facebook activity. Transparency and control is good for business Users can see how advertisers are using their data When someone disconnects their off-Facebook activity, it won’t be used for targeting, including Custom Audiences You won’t have access to someone’s personal data through analytics Why Managing Off-Facebook Activity Matters For Your Business When someone disconnects their off-Facebook activity, your business will lose access to target these users. This may lead to lower reach and lower revenue. As a result, you may need to bring in new prospects or find new avenues to reach those users and encourage them to turn on off-Facebook activity again. While Facebook focuses on greater transparency, your business may want to consider doing the same if you notice long-term effects on your business. For example, focus on strengthening relationships with your customers so that they don’t remove their off-Facebook activity. In the meantime, you can read the announcement about managing off-Facebook activity here. Exclusive Facebook Groups For Subscribers & Limiting Facebook Video Ads To Non-Interruptive Formats Also in Facebook news, they made a number of announcements at VidCon to include exclusive Facebook Groups for subscribers, a 30% revenue on Facebook subscriptions and new for Creators. Facebook is rolling out a number of useful features for your business. First up is a feature for Facebook Groups to create exclusive groups for subscribers. This will help you further monetize your business using Groups. Next, Facebook is adding non-interruptive formats to Facebook video ads such as pre-roll and image ads. This way it won’t interrupt your broadcast with a random video ad. Facebook is also going to start to take 30% of subscriptions, starting in 2020. Why Exclusive Facebook Groups For Subscribers & Limiting Facebook Video Ads To Non-Interruptive Formats Matter For Your Business If you’ve had a hard time monetizing your Facebook Group, by adding a way for creators to easily charge users, you’ll be able to quickly monetize your Group (so that you can focus on the content you provide users). In addition to monetizing your Group, Facebook looks to be improving video ad formats. This way your live video isn’t interrupted by a random ad. Not only can they be distracting, but because you don’t have complete control over what is shown, it can be misleading to users, especially those who don’t spend too much time on Facebook.
