With people gazing 5x longer at video than at static content on Facebook, you can feature your product in action and deliver your message to a specific audience segment with Facebook Video.

Our Facebook Video ads are the ONLY way to target PMMI Media Group’s email database with your video on Facebook! These audiences are not available if you advertise directly on Facebook.

Your product video (up to 15 seconds), sponsored by our Facebook page, will play on the newsfeed of the audience of your choice (originating from PMMI Media Group's email database).

Total campaign management

• You choose the target audience from our e-database.

• We monitor your ad throughout the campaign, course-correcting as needed and provide an end of campaign report showing impressions, video play percentage, and total audience size.

• Campaigns generally run 5-7 days

  • Campaigns always start on Fridays to get that initial weekend boost

• Leads provided for likes/comments/shares

• Purchase as a stand-alone product or as part of a multi-touch package

  • Frequency is key. We recommend purchasing Facebook Videos as part of a package whenever possible.

Facebook is set up to automatically serve around viewing behaviors of the audience to get best response.

• 16+ placements, including mobile and desktop news feeds, Facebook stories, Instagram feed and stories, feeds within Facebook groups, Marketplace placements, etc. 
• We encourage you to not limit to a single placement (ex. right rail)
  • For example, if the audience tends to be heavy Instagram users, then you just lost a lot of opportunity to reach them.
  • We want to be responsive to the way the recipient is engaging with media in that moment

*Your campaign will run across all Meta channels – Facebook and Instagram.

We've got your privacy concerns covered

We’re not using Facebook’s data, websites you visit, income info, etc. to target. All the targeting is done on our end with legitimately obtained data.

Separate your personal feelings about Facebook from its effectiveness as a marketing channel. The facts show that the people you want to reach are clicking on Facebook.

SALES REPS SHOULD KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND

• Facebook Video is the best way to get your video in front of your target audience in the shortest amount of time.

  • Facebook sponsored post is the best way to drive traffic to your website.

• Perfect for time-sensitive videos

• Facebook Videos generally see a Percentage of Video Plays at 25% ranging between 10 and 20%.

Cannabis - read this! Not the usual yada yada

• Do not use obvious images of cannabis, or anything that can be assumed as pot
• Do not reference CBD, marijuana, pot, ganja, Mary jane, doobie, weed or cannabis in any text of the ad
• We’ve seen success with ‘herbal infused’ or ‘herbal products for adults’  
• Customer should be prepared to submit multiple ads (text and images) in case the ad gets rejected
• URL of the ad should link to a Packaging World article page to maximize chance of approval. Reason: The ad leading to a journalistic, credible source helps the Facebook audit approve the ad.  (Advertiser can send us product information and we'll post it on the site at no additional cost.) 
• If the advertiser insists on linking to their own website, make sure:
  • the site is secured (https vs http)
  • a user can navigate out of the page (no stand-alone pages, digital flipbooks, direct PDF links, etc.)
  • there isn’t too much cannabis imagery displayed on the page 

Note: Even with the above, there is still a chance the ad can get rejected.

Allow plenty of extra time for these campaigns! More work is required on both sides, the advertiser's and PMG's.

Finally: We are restricting sales to one campaign per week to the Cannabis audience.

Facebook versus LinkedIn

• This is changing. LinkedIn gaining ground, Facebook still good, but match rates are lower than what they used to be. We'll update you on this. 
• Facebook sees a Unique CTR of over 3% on average (we tell customers to expect 1-3%) and LinkedIn averages less than 1%

PAN LinkedIn & Facebook during Show Season

• This is the same product as regular PAN LinkedIn & Facebook detailed above, EXCEPT—for the four weeks before PACK EXPO and two weeks after PACK EXPO—charged at a premium.
  • Why are we charging a premium if this product doesn’t focus on PACK EXPO attendees?
    • During PACK EXPO season, we have many more PAN campaigns running compared to other times of year (due to the PAN for PACK EXPO product).
    • To maintain the performance of all our campaigns, we must increase the hard costs for these campaigns. This consequently also increases the price of PAN LinkedIn and Facebook for our advertisers during this time.
  • Why do we have to increase hard costs?
    • Joan has a great presentation that breaks down this concept, comparing PAN campaigns to cupcakes – with hard costs being the “batter”.
• This applies to PW, PFW, and HCP.

CANNABIS FACEBOOK POSTS PROCESS

1) Reach out to customer for materials by email

            Remind customer that these ads are very finicky because Cannabis isn’t approved at the federal level. We will need materials much earlier than normal to make sure we get them through what will likely be a couple rounds of back and forth.

Materials needed 2 weeks prior to run date.

            In order to reduce the likelihood of the ads being rejected and unable to serve in Facebook, here are some things to take note:

• Do not use obvious images of cannabis, or anything that can be assumed as pot
• Do not reference CBD, marijuana, pot, ganja, Mary jane, doobie, weed or cannabis in any text of the ad
• We’ve seen success with ‘herbal infused’ or ‘herbal products for adults’ 
• Please provide multiple ad options (text and images) in case the ad gets rejected
• URL of the ad should click to a Packaging World article page.  The ad leading to a journalistic, credible source helps the Facebook audit approve the ad.  Here is an example of a PW Landing page.  Leads will be collected from the form on this page.
• If the URL must lead to a company website, make sure:
  • the site is secured (https vs http)
  •  a user can navigate out of the page (no stand-alone pages, digital flipbooks, direct PDF links, etc.)
  • there isn’t too much cannabis imagery displayed on the page

2) Create landing page and Facebook post

• If applicable, create the landing page on our website - page should have form in place as in this example
• Review materials to see for obvious things that will be rejected
• Load materials into FB to see if they are rejected
  • Send final proof to customer

3) Schedule Facebook post

• Do not reserve more than one Cannabis campaign per week, as the audience size is only 2,700
• Make sure the age range on the Facebook Adset is set to 21+

4) Collect leads 2 or 3 days after the ads have run

• Video on how to collect leads

• • • • • Log into Base
          • • Top right corner, go to Reporting > Website Inquiry Submissions
            • The Excel doc will be emailed to the Base account owner

            • Check the box, “My List has Headers”
            • Sort by Content ID (Column B)
            • Then Search for the Base ID of the article, by using the Find Feature                  (search box in top right corner)
            • Then take the leads with the Base ID and add it to a separate Excel doc
            • Save as CSV
