Facebook Readying a Location-Based Mobile-Advertising Product
Bloomberg– by SARAH FRIER
Facebook Inc. (FB), owner the world’s largest social network, says it’s working on a location-based mobile-advertising product that will allow companies to target users with real-time data showing their whereabouts.
“Phones can be location-specific so you can start to imagine what the product evolution might look like over time, particularly for retailers,” Carolyn Everson, Facebook’s vice president of global marketing solutions, said in a telephone interview. “We’ve had offers being tested over the last couple of months.”
Facebook’s shares have dropped about 19 percent in the month since the company’s initial public offering, partly because of concern that ad-revenue growth isn’t keeping pace with a shift by users to mobile phones. The company has been adding advertising to its mobile application in the last couple of months to address that migration.
Everson said the Menlo Park, California-based company has been testing new ad products, and showed almost a dozen ideas in April to a client council comprising of corporate chief marketing officers and agency executives. Currently, mobile advertising shows up in the form of stories in a news feed, the place that users also find updates from friends like new pictures or relationship status.
