Facebook Support Dashboard Provides Insight on Content-Reporting Process

Facebook is testing a new product that allows users who report objectionable content to follow the progress of their reports and receive alerts when the social network has decided the fate of the reported content.

The “learn more” section, located next to the reports, will direct users to the sections of the Facebook community standards that apply to their reports.

Should Facebook choose not to delete reported content, users who submitted reports will be given the options of messaging, unfriending, or blocking users who posted the content in question.

Facebook Will Expand Metrics In Ads Manager

Facebook has announced that its advertising metrics will include new data points labeled actions, measuring how campaigns fulfilled specific marketing objectives.

The actions data will appear in Facebook’s ad manager tool, comparing how paid campaigns performed versus specific goals, such as usage of apps, credits spent, or page posts.

For instance, a concert venue with a ticket application on its page could measure how many people used the app to make purchases after seeing advertisements about it on Facebook.

This latest change could be particularly useful for ads application programming interface partners that help advertisers optimize their campaigns.

Facebook and the Evolution to Social@Scale Businesses

There’s a unique balance that is required when developing and implementing a Social@Scale solution in a large enterprise.

The “social” side that says, “we are committed to treating our customers as people, as individuals, not as numbers in a database.”

The “scale” side demands automation, replication, and process.

The partner and platform that an enterprise chooses to use must reflect this balance as well.

Facebook and the Challenge of Global Brand Page Management

We’ve seen brands struggle with this as it relates to managing multiple (if not hundreds) of Facebook Brand Pages.

This is why we are excited to share two pieces of news that address the needs of global brands, but also serve as guidelines for managing Social@Scale.

Global Governance with FlexibilitySprinklr Social Applications Suite

Today, we’re announcing the availability of the Sprinklr Social Application Suite (SAS). This module enables brands to set levels of permission by roles and geography.

Now, marketers can be assured that local teams stay consistent with larger corporate goals, but have the flexibility to innovate as needed. Global teams can also can lock down the look and feel of a Facebook app, while facilitating content customizations. (You can see a quick video here or a quick overview here).

Selected as a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer

We are also excited that Facebook selected Sprinklr to be a part of its Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer program, which recognizes companies that have developedPMD-PagesApps technologies in one or more area of specialization (we have two-Pages and Apps). You can find out more about the PMD here.

However, there is a bigger message here.

There is a growing, industry-wide recognition of the need for solutions and companies that focus on delivering truly Social experiences at a global Scale.

It’s the evolution and iteration to a business world focused on Social@Scale.

Facebook Tests Letting Advertisers Optimize For Results

Advertisers looking for higher ROI from their Facebook self-serve ads may soon see some new tools. Facebook told Techcrunch its testing new features like “Objectives” which lets advertisers ask Facebook to “Show this to people who are more likely to: [Like my Page] or [Install my app] or [Click on my ad or sponsored story]“.
