Why You Should Be Advertising on Facebook 

Why advertise on Facebook if there are tons of social media platforms or digital marketing channels to choose from? Well, the answer is simple – everyone is on Facebook.  

Facebook content creators generate more and more different types of content every day. To advertisers, this means that it is becoming extra challenging to distribute and get their content in front of their target audience if they depend solely on organic reach.  

Facebook advertising is an excellent way of engaging your target market and guaranteeing that your content will be seen. By appearing in their newsfeed, you can attract new traffic and new customers to get to know your brand, products or services in a click of a button. Below are a few more reasons why we think Facebook should be the platform your brand spends its ad dollars on. 

#1: Your Audience Is On Facebook  

Facebook has over one billion users and is the most popular social media platform. If you’re not already using social media to connect with people, then you should seriously consider it.  

Facebook’s popularity gives you an opportunity to attract new customers to your business and market to them. 

#2: Facebook Ads Are Affordable 

Another reason why you should advertise on Facebook is that it is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, types of online advertising. Facebook gives advertisers the freedom to spend on their ads however much they want.  

You set your budget from the start. Facebook will stop showing your ad when you reach your maximum ad budget. It means that the higher your budget, the more Facebook users you will reach.  

#3: Exceptional Targeting Capabilities                                 

One of the most popular reasons businesses advertise on Facebook is because there is a wide range of demographic targeting. If you’re a new business who does not have a contact list to retarget yet, you can start targeting brand new customers instead. 

Facebook’s audience is wide. By using their advertising abilities, you can target people on: 

  • Age 
  • Gender 
  • Location 
  • Job title 
  • Industry 
  • Marital status 
  • Interests 
  • Behavior 
  • Location
