Tiger Pistol Contributes Social Platform, Services to JOANN for Local Amplification of “Make to Give” Mask Initiative

Posted on by Tiger Pistol

Tiger Pistol’s social advertising platform helps JOANN achieve its benevolent mission, while contributing to the health of stores and local communities.Tiger Pistol, the only social advertising platform that delivers local activation at global scale, has partnered with JOANN, the nation’s largest specialty retailer of crafts and fabrics, to amplify the promotion of its “Make to Give” handmade mask donation initiative through local advertising on Facebook and Instagram. 

“Tiger Pistol is dedicated to helping JOANN in its initiative to support our country’s medical personnel and fellow citizens,” said Paul Elliott, CEO, Tiger Pistol. “While JOANN supplies free tools, supplies, and guidance, Tiger Pistol is providing our social advertising platform and campaign management resources to help extend the reach and impact of the initiative.” 

Beginning in early March, JOANN began to notice groups of people in the crafting and sewing communities making protective masks, gowns, and other essential items to donate to local hospitals and health care facilities. Inspired by the customers who were looking to help during this unprecedented crisis, JOANN wanted to contribute to the cause, providing free mask-making supplies and guidance through in store experience, Curbside Pickup and joann.com. After just a couple of months, more than 150 million masks were created through a combination of customer purchases and directly donated masks and scrubs to hospitals and health care facilities nationwide. Now, the company’s focus is expanding to supplying masks for everyone in America. 

In support of this effort, Tiger Pistol is running high-performance Facebook and Instagram ads with copy that dynamically localizes to drive community relevance and ad performance. JOANN is using the ads to drive awareness for the company’s ‘Make to Give’ initiative and donation efforts in connection with its local stores.

“With state and local lockdown orders still in flux, JOANN needed agile and flexible advertising technology,” said Talia Wachtel, VP Client Management, Tiger Pistol. “Tiger Pistol’s Platform allowed JOANN to rapidly deploy and update ads based on the status of each store, whether open for business, offering curbside or in-store pickup, or only offering ship-to-home service. JOANN can now easily manage its locations with the Tiger Pistol platform’s ability to group JOANN’s campaigns by county, state, or city according to local government orders, and giving JOANN the flexibility to change or pause these campaign groups in minutes.” 

The Tiger Pistol platform’s unique capabilities enable brands to adapt their strategies to store openings and closings.  Government orders may be lifting in areas, but with COVID-19 still looming and contact tracing ramping up, retailers still need a way to rapidly change store status within their advertisements, whether open for business, closed with only online ordering or curbside pickup, or closed for a couple days due to cleaning.  

“Unlike other advertising platforms, Tiger Pistol can support a quick and responsive local strategy, ensuring that brands can more easily account for different scenarios,” said Elliott. “With templatized local campaigns, the ability to shift creative and messaging based on store status, and easy tools to turn campaigns on or off based on changing local orders, Tiger Pistol gives brands the opportunity to deeply reach communities with both sales-driven and/or purpose-driven content.”

“Tiger Pistol saw the value in our efforts to protect our communities, and approached us wanting to help spread the word about our Make to Give initiative,” said Chris DiTullio, Chief Customer Officer, JOANN. “Once we saw the platform’s capabilities, particularly the ability to provide accurate information down to each store location, we knew there was an opportunity to inspire more customers and create a much stronger local connection. We’re thankful for the support of our efforts, and the impact this platform and services have made on our initiative.”

Tiger Pistol Named to Inc. 5000 List

Posted on by Tiger Pistol
Tiger Pistol Ranks No. 1425 on the 2020 Inc. 5000 with Three-Year Revenue Growth of 311.4%

Inc. Magazine recently revealed that Tiger Pistol, the only social advertising platform that delivers local activation at global scale, is ranked No. 1425 on its Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. 

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“We are honored to be recognized not only as one of the 1500 fastest growing private companies in the country, but also in the top 150 in the advertising and marketing segment,” said Paul Elliott, CEO, Tiger Pistol. “Our team takes immense pride in delivering huge impact, driving efficiency and speed to market for our global brands, agency, and reseller clients. Our hyper-local approach to advertising has truly taken on new meaning in light of COVID-19, as advertising has narrowed its parameters from region to region or block to block to actual individual businesses, many of whom are relying on local advertising in their recovery efforts.”

Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.  

“Continued focus on deepening our product offerings and expanding into new industry verticals and emerging markets have allowed us to grow our existing customer relationships as well as build new ones, which has resulted in significant year-over-year growth,” said Anthony Antonelli, Vice President of Finance, Tiger Pistol. “Additionally, we’re proud to be one of few companies of late continuing to grow and invest in our team, with open positions ranging from technology engineers to client-success specialists, who are regularly helping our clients solve problems, and client managers, who build and own the relationships with our clients.”

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are also being featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 12. 

The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000.

This is the second recognition for Tiger Pistol by Inc. Magazine. Earlier this year, Inc. Magazine ranked Tiger Pistol in the Top 100 on the Inc. 5000 List of Texas’s Fastest Growing Private Companies and in the top 5 among advertising and marketing companies.

Global Analysis: Tracking Facebook and Instagram CPMs Alongside Covid-19 Active Cases

Posted on by Tiger Pistol

Several weeks ago, Tiger Pistol’s Paul Elliott, CEO, began tracking a global analysis of the weekly growth of active COVID-19 cases in eight countries to determine how they correlate with the average Facebook and Instagram CPMs during the same time*, all to discover if CPMs could be a leading indicator of economic recovery.  Since then, we’ve been closely monitoring the trends outlined in Paul’s original publication and will be offering  insights as they arise in the data.

Updated August 6, 2020

With July over, the formal #StopHateForProfit boycott has ended. As a refresher, more than 1,100 advertisers paused advertising on Facebook and Instagram for July. Some advertisers have doubled-down on their commitment to their customers and will continue to freeze spend on the platform for the foreseeable future.

Despite the boycott, Facebook reported a 10% year-over-year increase in advertising revenue, which isn’t as surprising as it seems, seeing as most of Facebook’s advertising revenue comes from small- and medium-sized businesses. 

From a health perspective, things have escalated across the globe, some more rapidly than others. Notable highlights include:

  • In the United States, the number of active cases grew week-over-week, while CPMs rose and fell. 

  • In Australia, a “state of disaster” has been declared for the state of Victoria due to a steep increase in cases. Our friends in Melbourne are now under a curfew for the foreseeable future due to a “Stage 4” level restriction in the area. CPMs for July rose and stabilized at the end of the month.

  • Spain saw a large increase in cases towards the end of the month, but experienced a recovery in CPM after experiencing a small drop mid-month.

  • Canada, on the other hand, realized an 80% decrease in its active cases week-over-week in a stunning change, while only seeing a small drop in CPM. An article in the Washington Post contributes Canada’s success to a number of factors, most notably, “The Canadian people have been less divided and more disciplined. Some provinces and territories could have locked down sooner, analysts say, but once measures were announced, they were strict, broadly uniform and widely followed.”

It’s clear that Facebook as a platform is a major outlet for advertisers big and small. With audiences engaged more than ever, it makes the decision to continue an advertising boycott dedicated to a single technology even more difficult. With fall quickly approaching and school shopping on the horizon for us in the U.S., absence from an ads platform could cause a considerable revenue hit for many companies’ forecasts.

Updated July 17, 2020

Halfway through July, we’re still seeing surges in the United States and Brazil. Australia has seen a shocking increase in cases from the start of the month. It’s fair to say that there is a loss of correlation between cases and CPMs, most likely because of the inconsistency of closures and pandemic guideline messaging. In countries like the US, Australia, and Canada, where national economic reopening is continuing, CPMs have risen even as active cases rise.

In Spain and Brazil, where active cases have also risen, CPMs have done the opposite and fallen, a conundrum.

Even more confusing, Germany and Italy have seen active cases dropping, but their CPM has also dropped by 22% to 32% week-over-week.

We intend to keep tracking to keep abreast of any trends that may emerge, revisiting the data monthly during the pandemic and recovery to identify correlations.

Updated July 10, 2020

We’re officially in the second half of the year, and cases are still rising in countries like the United States and Brazil, with numerous U.S. cities posting daily records. From a medical perspective, in the United States, multiple states are beginning to mandate residents wear masks in an effort to slow the spread and businesses are moving back to partial opening or closure.

We’re also nine days into the #StopHateForProfit campaign, which saw a 32% drop in CPMs week-over-week in the U.S. Whether this drop is connected to the shift away from Facebook spend or the rise in cases remains to be seen.

Canada saw the steepest drop in CPM with 42% week-over-week.

Germany is the outlier in this week’s report. They’ve not only seen a drop in cases this week, but their CPM is the only one to rise this week. 


Updated July 2, 2020

A few days ago, we hit 10 million global COVID-19 cases, a milestone we didn’t think we’d see a few months ago. Now entering the third quarter of 2020, we might begin to see some fluctuations as governments enact long-term plans for the safety and well-being of their citizens.

Overall, we’re seeing cases spike in the United States and a continued rise in Brazil.

In other countries, a slight uptick in cases, but the same sort of fluctuations in CPM from week to week. Within July, we may also begin to see effect of #StopHateForProfit on Facebook advertising, but this might only affect US CPMs. 

Curiosities:

  • Italy has made the biggest comeback, with their CPM regaining strength this week to the highest level since before we began tracking.
  • Canada & Spain are also seeing CPM strengthening.
Updated June 26, 2020

This week’s overarching message can be stated in a word: Instability. Some countries are trying to decide “is this over?,” while others are clearly not out of the woods. 

We’re still in Wave 1 in most places, and a case could be made for Wave 1.5. Studies are showing that being in enclosed places (restaurants, bars, etc.) increases the likelihood of contracting the virus, which leads to a lot of businesses having to make the decision whether or not to reopen or stay closed. Through the end of Q1 and beginning of Q2, it’s clear there was stability in most of the countries.

United States/Canada: Three of the largest populated states in the USA have begun experiencing a rapid spike of cases within the last week, leaving governors to decide to continue or halt phased openings. June as a whole saw an increase in overall CPM, after an initial dip at the start of the month, but with the uncertainties surrounding freedom of movement during the summer, we’re predicting CPMs may drop again in July (as seen in the last week). 

EU: The EU ramped up opening its borders, with most of the countries listed below open to travelers on the continent. Spain has seen a resurgence in cases and while they reopened their borders, a mandatory quarantine is in place and CPMs – while overall had steadied, plummeted the first weekend of reopening. Italy, similarly to Spain, has seen a sharp rise and fall of CPMs in a 3-week period, but have not seen a rise in cases (except for a new set of cases in the southern part of the country). Germany is all over the map, with sharp rises and drops, garnering attention as while the country was set to reopen fully, officials were forced to put that on hold due to a case flare up.

Australia: Australia managed to deal with the outbreak pretty swiftly, with a short spike and then drop off of cases. This has led to a steady rise of CPMs for the region.

Late outbreaks:

Brazil – Brazil as a country is really struggling, drawing eyes not only from a public health crisis perspective, but also from a “discount” perspective. CPMs remain steady since their drop in Q1, as the country has yet to see a drop in cases.

Navigating Facebook’s Special Ads Category for Financial Services

Posted on by Analissa Moreno

In mid-2019, Facebook rolled out the Special Ad Category, which limits advertisers running Housing, Employment and Credit campaigns. Campaign audiences must adhere to a specific set of parameters and have a Category applied or else they will be rejected. The most important takeaway from these changes is making sure your geo-target is greater than 15-miles, your audience age is 18-65+ and your detailed targeting parameters are accepted under the new policy.

Now, how does this affect Financial Services? Facebook defines a Credit opportunity as “Ads that promote or directly link to a credit opportunity, including but not limited to credit card offers, auto loans, personal or business loan services, mortgage loans, and long-term financing. This also includes brand ads for credit cards, regardless of a specific offer.” 

You’re thinking “okay, this doesn’t affect me in any way.” In some cases, you’re right – you probably won’t be affected. But Facebook’s algorithm is strong, and our experience dictates that it will catch anything and everything they deem requiring a Special Ad Category.

What does this mean? If your copy or your landing page makes mention of the above topics, we can guarantee your ads or your advertiser’s ads will be rejected especially if your audience doesn’t fit within Special Ad Category parameters.

The best and fastest fix is to update your audience and apply the Credit Category to your campaign and republish. This takes less time than appealing and potentially waiting for Facebook to hold firm on their rejection.

How Best to Use Facebook’s Conversions Objective for Financial Services

Posted on by Analissa Moreno

It’s important when choosing an objective to choose the one that aligns the best with you or your agent’s or advisor’s business goals. Naturally, advertisers want to reach potential customers who may be interested in their product or service. Facebook’s Conversions Objective takes this one step further, by targeting those customers who are not only interested but also most likely to take action on your offer. 

Take for instance the example of a national insurance provider whose customers typically submit a form for a consultation and quote on their website. For the local Page running a campaign, tracking web traffic events on a Landing Page is invaluable information. This is where the Conversions Objective is a great way to optimize Facebook and Intsagram campaigns towards these form submissions on the individual landing pages. Running the Conversions Objective directs Facebook to find those customers who have shown intent for the Conversion Event you identify as relevant to your campaign. In this case, Facebook can find those customers who perhaps visited a competing insurance company’s submission form, but did not finish completing their information.

So, what does this look like at scale? Simple – utilize individualized landing pages for each of your locations but install the same Pixel on all Pages. Each location will be able to run its own individual Facebook campaign to its target sales area but can benefit from the national brand’s inbound corporate data while still enabling local campaign optimization. In this way, both local and global partners empower each other.

About the Conversions Objective

In Facebook’s arsenal, the Conversions objective is a strong option when you not only want to drive users to a destination but to encourage them to take a specific action on this page. To be able to track specific actions such as page visits or leads, a Facebook Pixel must be installed. 

While “conversions” imply sales, in truth a “conversion” can mean many things, which is what makes the objective so flexible. For the insurance industry, a conversion might mean free quotes or scheduling a consultation on a landing page, whereas a brick and mortar QSR might consider a conversion someone viewing their menu online. 

The key to the Conversions Objective is that it enables marketers a pathway to define what success looks like through data, and its power comes from its strategic flexibility. Ultimately, what you or a user predefined as the conversion event, Facebook’s algorithm will work to find users who will do exactly that. For Financial Services in particular, where there is a reliance on a combination of online and offline attribution, the Conversions Objective is the perfect choice to empower both ends.

Best Uses of The Facebook Pixel In Financial Services Conversions Ads

Though we can’t talk about the Conversions Objective without first discussing the Facebook Pixel, as the two are inextricably linked. The Facebook Pixel is a piece of code for your website that lets you measure, optimize and build audiences for your campaigns. Using your Pixel, you can use it to measure the effectiveness of your advertising by understanding the actions people take on your website, to drive sales, and most importantly, make sure your ads are being shown to the right people.

When it’s properly installed, the Pixel will fire when a user has taken an action on your site. This is inclusive of booking appointments, adding an item to their cart or even purchasing a product. These actions are known as “Events” and may be monitored via your Pixel’s Events Manager page. Once a user has taken an action that fired the Pixel, you’ll be able to reach this customer again through custom audience targeting.

Recommendations for Financial Services

The Conversions objective is particularly useful for the Financial Services vertical. Out of the 17 Standard Events available to install within a Pixel (either by embedding in the code or by using Facebook’s Event Setup Tool for Web), we recommend adding the following to your toolkit:

Website action

Description
Complete registration A submission of information by a customer in exchange for a service provided by your business. For example, signing up for an email subscription.
Contact A telephone, SMS, email, chat or other type of contact between a customer and your business.
Find location When a person finds one of your locations via web, with an intention to visit. For example, searching for a product and finding it at one of your local stores.
Lead A submission of information by a customer with the understanding that they may be contacted at a later date by your business. For example, submitting a form or signing up for a trial.
Schedule The booking of an appointment to visit one of your locations.
Submit application The submission of an application for a product, service or program you offer. For example, a credit card, educational program or job.

By parsing out specified events – separate from the default “PageViews” event – you can find out more information about your business. This could include discovering which areas of your website are getting a little more love than others or even which buttons might be getting more clicks.

Conclusions

The Conversions Objective is a powerful tool for financial services firms to optimize the delivery of Facebook campaigns to the best customers for your products and services. Yet, leveraging the Conversions Objective across a network of agents or advisors has historically been challenging and time-consuming. Tiger Pistol’s Conversions Objective capabilities allows brands and agencies to deploy conversion campaigns at scale with a single click. We make leveraging the Conversions Objective at scale has never been easier for financial services firms.

Tiger Pistol Expands Operations to Northeast Ohio

Posted on by Tiger Pistol

Tiger Pistol, the only social advertising platform that delivers local activation at global scale, has opened its first operation outside of its headquarters in Austin, Texas, bringing at least 25 new jobs to Cleveland.

The Tiger Pistol Cleveland Office is located in an historic building on W. 6th Street.

The company, which ranks in the Top 100 of the Inc. 5000 list of Texas’ fastest-growing private companies and in the Top 5 among advertising and marketing companies, resides in a space on West Sixth Street in the Warehouse District of Downtown Cleveland for its Cleveland office. The expansion will further accelerate Tiger Pistol’s innovation roadmap for tools that help global brands, agencies, and resellers capitalize on the benefits of Facebook and Instagram advertising.

Tiger Pistol cites the Cleveland-area’s pool of technology and marketing expertise and affordability as some of the key driving factors for expansion into the market.

Tiger Pistol CEO, Paul Elliott is no stranger to building successful marketing companies in Cleveland. “Having had the opportunity to build my own digital marketing agency here, as well as serve in a leadership capacity for other outstanding Cleveland-based marketing and technology organizations, I am well aware of the amazing assets we have access to here in Cleveland,” said Elliott. “Cleveland’s world-class marketing and technology talent and their amazing work ethic is a competitive advantage when building and scaling a business. Our Cleveland expansion will help further strengthen our social advertising offering, which is already the dominant solution for multi-location marketers.”

The company considered other locations throughout the Midwest, but a team comprising the city of Cleveland, Project Management Consultants, JobsOhio and Team NEO collaborated to ensure Tiger Pistol would choose Cleveland for its expansion. The project is still subject to approval of state and local incentives.

“The City of Cleveland welcomes Tiger Pistol’s decision to invest and grow in Cleveland,” said Mayor Frank G. Jackson. “This investment reflects the continued growth of Cleveland’s technology sector and we look forward to working with them on their expansion.”

Citing a quality workforce and Ohio’s business climate as benefits to operating in Northeast Ohio, Bill Koehler, CEO of Team NEO, added, “Northeast Ohio is home to great companies looking to deepen their digital marketing and technology capabilities in order to grow. Tiger Pistol’s decision to invest here is a strong statement about the depth and breadth of the digital technology capabilities in this market. We expect their success to offer further encouragement to other digital technology companies exploring a significant investment in Northeast Ohio.”
