Knowing your target audience is key to a successful marketing campaign, but do you have a list of your very best clients/bidders? In a continuing Facebook marketing conversation with John Schultz, we explore building VIP lists and how to leverage them with the power of look-alike audiences.

Highlights

  1. The importance of building specialized lists of your best clients/bidders
    • How that information helped in trimming down the mailing list to save money
    • How Facebook can use that list to define your ideal clients
  2. The performance of Facebook ads vs promoted posts
  3. How building a “deadbeat” audience list can be effective as well

Competition can sharpen our skills raise the quality of those who choose to participate. It is no different for auctioneers. For this episode we sit down with 2001 Women’s Division International Auctioneer Champion JillMarie Wiles.
