Just wondering if a smart marketing type could clarify things for a total marketing newb like myself. :)

I realized this week that I don't know what I don't know.

So then I got a hold of some very good reading material and have started reading about what the leaders in the field of marketing (Digital Marketer) think about/have proven to work in terms of sales. Especially with the restrictions of AdWords and FB ads (content ueber alles). I'm trying to put things into a framework so that I can hang my knowledge within it.

If I understand the paradigm in 2015-2016:
  • The goal nowadays is PIXELING those who click on your ad rather than a cold sales page. Therefore,
  • We're moving AWAY from straight landing pages/sales offer pages
  • We're moving TOWARDS content based websites that give lots of content away AND don't try to hard sell someone right off the bat.
    • (I mean, you can try but it would have to be a soft sell, yes?)
  • You want to provide lots of high-value (depending on the phase):
    • viral versus discover
    • considering versus customer
Plan on re-targeting (via your pixel) those who don't purchase straight off/bounce and bring them back with a discount offer/loss leader offer.

So my question is then, if using FB ads to start:

1) Do you send your FB ad clickers to your content (where there isn't a buy button)?
2) Where does the sales page come in?
3) How do you get them to the sales page?
4) Should your re-targeting offer now be your sales page?

Or am I even asking the right questions. Thanks!
