Advantages of Facebook Ads
1) Allow you to target local markets
- There is a tremendous amount of demographic data that Facebook gathers. The ads allow you to use that to your advantage.
2) You can create an ad around your company’s fan page
- If someone is looking at an ad that appears on their Facebook page and they see that seven of their friends like a business, product, service, band, etc., they may click because there is social proof that they might also enjoy it. And, as a bonus, they may end up liking your page too.
3) Allows you to target people by social relationships
- Again, users are influenced by what their friends are into. And Facebook gives you a variety of predictive variables when placing ads, such as geography, age, and education level.
4) Drives down cost of acquisition
- The World Journalism Institute uses Facebook Fan Pages extensively to advertise their one-week intensives held at The King’s College every year, and it has driven down their cost of acquisition. They receive large number of inquiries which makes for a higher Return On Investment.
Facebook also offers a free way for you to create another online social media presence you can use to promote yourself and/or your business by creating a Facebook “Fan” Page.
