How Online Marketing Firms Can Evaluate Amber Alert Functionality

By Paula Hess


By definition, Amber Alert is described as an abduction security system designed for children. In 1996, this system was put into place and since that time, companies like Google have been able to make use out of it. Facebook, from what I have seen, will become the latest company to get onboard, which I'm sure will be of interest to online marketing companies across the board. For those who are curious as to what this entails, please read on.

Facebook will soon be working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, allowing Amber Alerts to be sent through the social media page. Specifically, messages will be tailored to individuals based on the locations given on their profiles. What this means is that messages given to New Yorkers will not be the same as those given to New Jersey residents. In the words of Emily Vacher, who serves as Facebook Security, Trust and Safety Manager, the social media channel will become, "...the world's largest neighborhood watch."

There will also be quite a bit of detail given to these alerts. Some of the points of detail will include - but will not necessarily be limited to - license plate numbers of vehicles and photographs of abducted children. To say that these elements will help to make the tracking down of abducted children easier would be nothing short of an understatement. When everyone has the same degree of know-how, it's easy to see that work will be done with greater ease.

I am of the opinion that a story like this should grab the attention of online marketing companies across the board. Keep in mind that social networking can be done, as information from Amber Alerts should be distributed across every user's friend list. What this will do is raise awareness, which will allow others to see what they can do in order to help any child abduction case. User engagement is strong, as firms like fishbat will tell you, and this is further evidence of such a claim.

The truth of the matter is that Amber Alerts are serious, which only makes this story involving Facebook that much more information. Child abduction cases garner tremendous amounts of news but there are many readers who ask the question, "What can I do to help?" I believe that it's important to focus on how these alerts are given and, potentially, the ways in which they are shared. Only then will a story such as this prove to have long-term benefits.
