'''Social Media Targeting''' is a form of [[targeted advertising]] that enables the customized placement of ads and communication activities on [[Web 2.0]] platforms. Social media targeting combines current targeting options (like [[geotargeting]], [[behavioral targeting]], socio-psychographic targeting, etc.), to make detailed [[target audience|target group]] identification possible. With social media targeting, advertisements are distributed to users based on information gathered from target group profiles. |
|||
== Application == |
|||
People who use social networks store various information about themselves including, but not limited to, their age, gender, interests, and location. This stored information allows advertisers to create specific target groups and individualize their advertisements. The advantage for advertisers is that their ads can reach people who are interested in the product or service. The advantage for users is that they can see ads that appeal to them. Facebook, for example, the hugely popular social network, has developed a targeting technology which allows advertisements to reach a specific audience. This is why [[Facebook]] users see advertisements on their profile page that are tailored to their gender, music taste, or location. |
|||
== Operation == |
|||
Within social communities users provide demographic information, interests, and images. This information is accessed by social media targeting software and enables advertisers to create display ads with characteristics that match those of social network users. The important component of social media targeting is the provision of the users’ socio-demographic and interest information. By using this information, social media targeting makes it possible for users to see advertisements that might actually interest them. The availability of user data allows for detailed analysis and reporting, which is a big part of social media targeting and what makes it more effective than statistical projections alone. |
|||
== Advantages == |
|||
* Advertisers can reach users who are interested in their products |
|||
* Allows for detailed analysis and reporting (including [[Business Intelligence]]) |
|||
* The information gathered is real, not from statistical projections |
|||
* Does not access [[IP Address|IP-Addresses]] of the users |
