Introducing an "Easy Button" For Local Paid Social Ads

We know it can be a struggle to deliver truly local paid social ads - so we're excited to announce the latest updates to MomentFeed's Paid Media Manager! With all the changes that have happened to Facebook's algorithms, organic social campaigns just aren't as effective as they used to be. The notion that you have to "Pay to Play" has now become a core tenet of Facebook marketing. This has dramatic implications for multi-location brands, but fortunately, we have a solution that can help.

It's an age-old question for marketers of multi-location brands: How can you drive awareness with a consistent brand message across thousands of different stores or locations, but still keep your message local? After all, consumers are using their mobile devices more than ever (150 times a day on average!), and they expect every search to be "near me" by default. To compete, you must deliver a relevant message, when and where consumers are looking (hint: on mobile), with information and details unique to your nearest store location.


As a multi-location brand - whether you're corporate owned, franchised, centralized, decentralized, hybrid or another model - how do you deliver this across all your locations, while keeping brand consistency, and without adding additional resources?

We've got the "easy button" you've been looking for!

The "Easy Button" For Local Marketing

We know you remember the easy button from those old commercials. Whenever things got hard it offered a simple way to get back on track. That's what we're doing with MomentFeed's Paid Media Manager: we're giving you an easy button to run truly local paid social campaigns at scale, that maintain your brand cohesion.

With Paid Media Manager you can:

  • Leverage your local Facebook pages to deliver truly local, relevant ads, at scale
  • Empower local users, operators or franchisees to publish local campaigns in a simple, streamlined workflow - while maintaining full corporate oversight
  • Measure ROI with detailed reporting insights, down to the location level

"But, wait," you say. "Paid Media Manager isn't new." You're right - but we've made it better than ever with our latest feature additions, all with your challenges in mind.

What You're Up Against

For corporate teams, you're unable to run a truly local campaign. You're stuck operating at the DMA (regional) level, and you can't easily provide consumers with local information about each of your locations, like addresses, phone numbers, unique URLs, current promotions, and other local attributes - which is really what consumers want.

Local operators, field teams, and franchisees want more insight into the impact their co-op ad dollars have on the business. They want to run their own ad campaigns to take advantage of their local presence, but their expertise is usually centered in business operations rather than marketing. Since Facebook marketing is no picnic, this begs the question of how you balance local with consistency - all while making sure you're being as effective as possible.
