Limited Conversion TrackingThe Challenge- The application used for online

reservations takes users off-site to complete the transaction, without bringing them back on-site

The Opportunity- Anvil implemented Google Tag

Manager to track clicks on menu items and reservations

- Anvil used Facebook Advertising to offer specials and promotions, complete with a promo code traceable to each advertisement

Limited Organic ReachThe Challenge:- Facebook has continued to decrease

organic reach for Pages, making it difficult to communicate with followers

The Opportunity: - Anvil implemented Facebook Ads to

supplement organic efforts- Custom audiences were

developed for each property for precise targeting

- Campaigns targeted potential followers and existing followers- Content & communication

differed for each audience
