PORTLAND, OR — (Marketwired) — 10/14/13 — , the company that is transforming how brands advertise to social mobile consumers, announced recently the findings of a analysis of over 2,000 Facebook news feed posts from Q1 and Q2 2013 and their over 2 billion impressions and post-click performance. Chief among the findings was that over 51 percent of campaign engagement occurred on mobile; paid media not only vastly improves reach but also increases organic and viral impressions by up to 200 percent; and richer experiences decrease negative feedback rates by up to 600 percent.
Taken from a broad mix of campaigns and brands across objectives and industries, the posts and rich interactive experiences behind the posts were studied both individually and as a social ad unit. From this analysis, researchers found that:
Post-click social rich media had an average conversion rate of 4.4%
Over 51% of total campaign engagement was on mobile
Photo and Link posts had among the best click through rates at .07% and .06% respectively
Richer experiences post-click drove down negative feedback rates 600%
While organic and viral performance varied greatly based on the post type, the benchmark survey found that unpaid Status posts averaged 5x more organic impressions than any other unpaid post type.
Adding paid media, however, changes organic and viral reach significantly. With the addition of paid media, the Offer post type had the most average organic and viral impressions. The post types with the most average viral impressions as a share of average total impressions were Video which received a 36% viral boost and Offers that received a 23% viral boost.
Said , primary author of the study and Senior Director of Strategy at ShopIgniter, “The key findings reflect the fact that Facebook ad performance is on par with the best performing digital channels, emphasizing the fact that social media marketing is the fourth leg of the digital marketing stool, alongside email marketing, SEO and display. While one size does not fit all, especially when paid media is involved, with this analysis in hand marketers can create a very effective Facebook post strategy that also supports their marketing objectives.”
“Moreover, the findings indicate that brands need to be smart about what post types they employ to support both short-term tactics and long-term strategic goals,” Kistner added. “It is clear from this benchmark analysis that putting media dollars behind Facebook posts is a sound strategy, especially when it comes to offers and rich interactive experiences.”
