BENEFITS OF FACEBOOK ADS

 

Facebook ads are extremely valuable for any business, because of the reach they have and the exposure they offer. They appear on the News Feed for both mobile and desktop users, on the right column for Facebook desktop, and present many advantages. The few investments they require -with the lowest cost per impression on the web- enables you to still get a certain ROI even with a low budget. Besides, if your goal is to increase your brand awareness, any budget can reach it thanks to the publicity they allow.

 

The first step is of course to create your business page; once it is done, you can create and design ads campaigns. To do so, keep in mind the behavior you expect from your audience so as to find the best call to action. You set objectives like Conversions, Traffic or Engagement for instance, and then accordingly to your audience’s demographics and location, their language and interests, you can choose specific target options. Once all of it is ready, you will set a budget, an ad schedule and the ad placement on the page.

 

Remain alert on the different ad display and do your best to create ads that fit both desktops and mobile, so as to avoid any inconvenience, as the mobile traffic is becoming more and more important. Likely, multiplying the placement options can be tricky, as the length of the text you write, headlines and image dimensions are varying. It would require several sets of ads created accordingly to each placement, a solution that could in the end lead to a more complicated KPIs analysis.

 

Finally, thanks to your Facebook Ads connector, you can track and optimize your ads performance in detail and take your Facebook advertisement to the next level!
