You provide Facebook with the contact information you’ve generated with a contest or have within your CRM tool.

As most Facebook users have a registered email address and phone number within the platform, Facebook can match the details you’ve provided to their user.

This list is compiled and those users are targeted specifically for your ad. Note that it can take up to 24 hours if Facebook is busy.

No longer are you targeting by age group, gender or specific interest and hoping you’re right.

Now you’re targeting by name, literally.

You’re targeting people who have already engaged with your brand and encouraging them to do so again.

Importing your Email List

Facebook Ad tools should allow you to import your email list from your own CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool.

Simply tick the target by ‘Email Addresses’ box within the targeting page of your Facebook Ads tool.

Copy your email list and and paste it into the tool.

Your ad manager should also give you the option of targeting by phone number.

Like emails, phone numbers can be generated from a Facebook contest or from your own existing customer database.

Your ads tool will work with Facebook to automatically track down and target those Facebook users who correspond to the phone numbers you’ve provided.

Page 15: How to Target Facebook Ads Based on Email Address and Phone Number (Custom Audience)

Targeting a Lookalike Audience

Tick the ‘Target similar people’ box within your ads manager. The tool will work with Facebook itself to generate a similar audience.

It will examine demographic similarities, such as age segment, gender and location as well as precise interests and broad categories.

An algorithm within Facebook matches those demographic details with existing Facebook users, to find the best possible match for your next ad.

You’ve been designing Facebook ads to be massively appealing. They’re colorful, have great Calls-to-Action and great images. Don’t stop now.

The only difference with targeting to an existing contact list is that you’re sure your audience is familiar with your brand (as they’ve engaged with you at least once before).

This means you can refrain from having your brand name as your ad’s headline. Instead, you can take advantage of that space for a great CTA or other eye-catching words:
