Bridge the Gap
Between Offline
Car Sales & Online
Actions With
Facebook's Offline
Conversions
Traditional marketers in
the auto industry
typically focus only on a
last-click model.
This means that a lot
of value in ads and user
attribution can go unmeasured. Not only is it important to note the missing

discussed and more critical
is the value lost when using

POS systems) to their Facebook advertising account
to better understand offline
events that are not captured
by the Facebook Pixel or
SDK. Or they can upload
their sales data manually
like you would for a manual
custom audience upload. By
connecting offline information to Facebook in a privacy-safe setting, a dealership

ads and bought a vehicle (or
service) in ads reporting and
Facebook analytics.
„ Targeting for the people
who matter to you: Create
custom audiences based
on offline events (such as
car purchasers), and reach
similar audiences to your

lookalike audiences.

it is not limited to a single
