More than 2.5 million people use Facebook advertising to reach their consumers.
That's a pretty impressive number. What do those 2.5 million advertisers know that you don't?
Here are the top three reasons you can no longer afford to ignore Facebook advertising:
- Targeting
Facebook advertising can be laser-focused to reach the exact consumers you want. Facebook targeting is much more sophisticated than Google Ads (formerly AdWords). Beyond geographic and demographic filters, you can choose a variety of behavioral and interest fields. And you don't have to wait until someone is actively searching for your service, you can make offers to people who fit your profile and are likely to need your service now ... or in the near future. - Meet Consumers Where They Hang Out Online!
