Facebook by virtue of its numbers is the logical place for these ads. Com.score reports “American consumers spent 225.4 billion minutes on Facebook mobile app and mobile Web pages in the second quarter, about double from a year ago.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, “What advertisers particularly like about Facebook mobile is to advertise on the news feed-the spot on member’s pages where they post their own news and read what their friends are posting. The ads, with colorful photos are hard to miss, right in the middle of the scroll of updates.” This fall they are planning to enhance this feature with video advertising.
How does that affect the average consumer? Facebook has teamed up with Datalogix, “which identifies people who have been exposed to an ad on Facebook and then mines credit-card and retailer purchase data to determine whether those people bought the product.” Wall Street Journal
