Instagram is taking the next logical step for eCommerce businesses to help them monetise on audience interest with a new tool - product reminder stickers and tags. The testing period was announced on October 1 for US brands.

This amazing tool will bring new experience to the audience by encouraging in-app shopping, bringing more opportunities for businesses and providing new catchy functionality for users. It will help to get out more from their Insta presence.

This new feature will remind people of the upcoming product launch they are waiting for, so they would be able to buy this product as soon as it becomes available directly in Instagram.

Product launch tag. A “Set Reminder” call to action would be available in posts and would allow users to set the exact reminder for the launch of their expected product with exact date and time. Also, they would be able to preview product details in Instagram. Users will get a reminder on their phones just ahead of the product appearance.

They will make several updates on the video metrics and main ads. They will remove the metrics related to the 10-second video views and rename other video metrics. They will also consolidate lead metrics.

Knowing the importance that the mobile phone currently has in our lives and also the good results that we are having in the ads seen from mobile, I wanted to make a list of the main tips that you should keep in mind so that your campaign has excellent results.

3 Ways to Optimize Your Ad Creative for Mobile

1. Turn static images into video Ads and can work with sound on and off

According to a recent Facebook study, where they watched the audience's attention from mobile devices and saw that people's eyes focused more on video ads compared to static ones. This means that video ads are a great opportunity for companies to capture attention and generate brand awareness and conversions. Using the Slideshow option directly from Facebook is a very simple and quick way to create a video.

The visualization of the videos occurs in different parts of the day and in various environments, so we must take into account the option that the videos have sound and that they do not have it and they st...

Boosted posts are ads you create from posts on your Facebook Page. Boosting a post may help you get more people to react, share and comment on it.

• Select Boost Post. You can find it in the bottom-right corner of your post. Note: If you are unable to select Boost Post, boosting may be unavailable for this post.
• Fill in the details for your ad:
  • Audience: Choose a recommended audience or create a new audience based on specific traits.
  • Total Budget: You can select a recommended budget or provide a custom budget. 
  • Duration: Choose one of the suggested time frames or provide a specific end date.
  • Payment Method: Select your payment method. 

Edit Boosted Posts

After boosting a post from your Facebook Page, you may want to make changes to your ad. You can edit certain components of your boosted post that help you reach your intended audience, like your budget, duration, and audience.

IMPORTANT: You can't edit text, image(s) and video once your boost has been reviewed and publ...

1. Use high-quality creatives: Each post you have should include some type of creative, like images, GIFs or videos. Make sure these creative assets are high quality. Also take in count that in general, simple posts with clean creative are best at capturing an audience's attention.
2. Make posts actionable: Share articles or blogs from your website, provide links to your newsletter sign-up form, ask your fans to answer a question or provide their opinions in the comment section of your post. While not every post you create needs to drive action, actionable posts may help you increase engagement.
3. Pin significant posts: If you have major news or an announcement, pin it to the top of your Page. Anyone that visits will see it first. Here an example:

With Off-Facebook Activity, you can see and control the data that other apps and websites share with Facebook. You can:

• See a summary of the information other apps and websites have sent Facebook through our online business tools, like Facebook Pixel or Facebook Login.
• Disconnect this information from your account if you want
• Choose to disconnect future off-Facebook activity from your account. You can do this for all of your off-Facebook activity, or just for specific apps and websites.

Now you can Clear Your Off-Facebook Activity

If you clear your off-Facebook activity, Facebook will remove your  information from the data that apps and websites choose to send to them.

* Facebook is implementing this option gradually, for now it is only available to people in Ireland, South Korea and Spain.

Facebook is simplifying group privacy settings and adding admin tools for safety. Surely by now you are wondering what are the main changes. Well, Facebook is renaming its confusing public, closed, and secret group settings to the slightly more straightforward public and private settings, with the option to make private groups visible or hidden to non-members.

Closed groups, which only let current members view group content and see who else is in the group, will now be labeled as private but visible groups. Secret groups, which are hidden from search, but still require an invitation to join, will be changed to a private and hidden group.

This change is accompanied by a continuous effort to improve the security that is already at least two years in progress.

Back in March, Facebook announced that it was replacing its single ad relevance score with three new metrics: Quality ranking, Engagement rate ranking and Conversion rate ranking. With these metrics, Facebook was looking to provide more granular ad performance data and help advertisers get a better response.

I explain more in detail each one::

• Quality ranking: How your ad's perceived quality compares with ads competing for the same audience.
• Engagement rate ranking: How your ad's expected engagement rate compares with ads competing for the same audience.
• Conversion rate ranking: How your ad's expected conversion rate compares with ads that have the same optimization goal, and compete for the same audience.

According to Facebook: "High relevance is correlated with high performance, but it's not always the reason for high performance". Therefore, you should use relevance diagnostics to diagnose ads with poor performance, and not to optimize those that already meet your advertisi...
