Facebook Advertising
Facebook Advertising is one of the most effective marketing tools available to businesses. With over 800 million daily users and over 2 billion active users per month – it’s easy to see why. In fact, one in every $10 in advertising is spent on Facebook Ads.
However, understanding your target audience and knowing how to create an effective Facebook Ad can be challenging when you don’t understand the technology. Additionally, ineffective marketing costs money and time -two resources businesses can’t afford to waste. Facebook Advertising is more than just having a Facebook Profile, Facebook Business Page and boosting posts.
