Fan Appz, a Santa Monica headquartered firm founded in 2010, and a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer (PMD) today Tuesday  launched its Personalized Marketing Platform, a next-generation social media marketing solution set to help firms convert fans into customers and increase repeat purchases by turning good customers into great ones.

Speaking on the launch Jon Siegal, Founder & CEO, Fan Appz Inc said, “The fun of counting Likes, comments and retweets has faded. Companies want to see their social media investment drive sales.”

And due to empowerment, the consumer too wants to be addressed as a unique individual – not ‘marketed to’as part of some mythical mass audience.

Siegal added,“Social data holds the key. From email addresses and demographics to Likes, brand affinitiesand interests, it gives marketersthe insights they need to address consumers as individuals with relevant, meaningful messages that drive response. That’s how social can help build customer lifetime value.”

Close The Sale

Unlike first-generation social media solutions that focus on building awareness at the top of the funnel, Fan Appz’ Personalized Marketing Platform helps brands close the sale. It makes it easy to drive engagement,capture social data, and analyze it for actionable insights. It then helps brands put those insights to work to improve the targeting, personalization and performance of all of their marketing efforts, from email marketing and social and display advertising to website and in-store promotions.
