Advertisements and Campaign Goals 

Running advertisements on social media has become the next big thing in the world of digital marketing. Whether you’re a small company looking to build brand awareness or an established larger business hoping to boost sales, an advertisement can help to meet your needs.  Especially for companies in the Brazos Valley area. There is a big difference between social ads and social content. The main difference is that an ad involves putting money behind the post. Ads appeal to people who are not your followers and can help reach potential customers. Social content appeals to your active audience and helps to keep them engaged. So, how can social ads help my business?  Social advertising reaches people who don’t already know about your company. Social content speaks to people who are already your fans. Facebook advertisements can help with this, but these techniques offered can also be used on all social networks.

For the purpose of this blog, we’re focusing our attention on Facebook since it’s the largest network by far. But the concepts apply to all social platforms.   

Facebook Advertisements: 

What is a Facebook Ad? A Facebook ad is a paid message that allows you to advertise on Facebook, a form of social advertising. A Facebook ad also gets on users’ feeds that do not follow you. It allows you to advertise to those who do not know your business and could be good potential customers. A recent study has shown that Facebook’s monthly active users are fast approaching 3 billion people. That’s 36% of the world’s population. With a Facebook ad, you are able to set different campaign goals, but these goals can also be used on all social, and a Facebook advertisement is just an example of how an ad can be properly utilized.
