Driving Customer Acquisition on Facebook

Background

A weight-loss clinic was using Facebook ads for new patient acquisition, but found Facebook ad costs to be too high, engagement too low, and conversion rates to be too low. Facebook enables targeting by geographic area and basic demographics, but does not have the ability to target by income or propensity for personal health care spending.

Analytic Objectives

The clinic wanted Manifold to provide hyper-specific targeting to reduce ad spending on uninterested prospects, raise engagement, and most importantly increase conversion rates from Facebook advertising.

Manifold’s Approach

Using our data products, targeting algorithms, and spatial analysis, we identified key neighbourhoods, specific postal codes with the highest spending on weight loss products and annual incomes greater than $150,000. Selected postal codes were then uploaded onto Facebook for targeted prospecting.
