Facebook Continues To Ride The Train Of Customization
It’s all about customizing the ad experience as Facebook focuses on new features (letting you choose what you can and can’t see from different brands), which inevitably prompts marketers to review their approach for social network ads.

This means your ads have to be better—make it content oriented, allow it to become part of the conversation instead of letting it stand out like sore thumb, make it something people want to interact with.

Seth Godin Creates Problems
It’s not so much creating a problem as it is making your audience aware of a problem that weren’t aware they had. Ask implication questions—make your audience realize the implications of a potential problem: What is effect does it have on…? Will that ever lead to…? Will that cause…?
Now that’s where your product comes in. Because, by this time, your audience is aware of a problem that they didn’t even know they had, and now you’re the first one there with a solution.
Split Testing Case Study From VWO
VWO discusses a very simple split-test case study that explores the use of a “privacy” link. The bottom line is, while it’s important to have a privacy seal, it has to be done properly. It has to be seamless and it can’t look like an afterthought.
