Target Your Database with a Facebook or Instagram Social Ad

While creating a social ad campaign for either Facebook or Instagram, users have ability to target their database directly. This is done by creating an audience of contacts based on the contact tags that have been added to their contact record and/or the neighborhoods associated with the contacts.

• In order for database targeting to work effectively, ensure that the contacts you plan to target in your database have a valid phone number and/or an email address saved to their contact record.
• Campaigns will use the primary phone number you have added to their contact record (preferably their mobile phone), or the primary email address to try and match the recipient's profile within Facebook/Instagram.   

To target your database for social ad campaigns:

1. Once you have reached "Ad Targeting", click the checkbox besides Target my Database.

2. Select the audience your audience from the drop-down menu. If you don't have an audience created, click the Create New Audience button.
