Facebook is a popular platform. In fact, it is ranked as the most popular social platform in the world, with 2.8 billion active users every month, and 60 million of those being Facebook business pages.
There’s no denying that Facebook is one of the most effective online advertising platforms available and can play a significant role in a business’ overall marketing strategy. Yet many people still struggle to achieve results - according to Weebly, up to 62% of small business owners say that their Facebook ads miss their targets.
If you get your Facebook ad campaign right, you can get a very good return on your investment. But if you get it wrong, you will be wasting valuable time and money, and your campaign will be pretty pointless.
If you aren’t using video in your Facebook ads, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity. A recent survey showed that most consumers prefer video ads over image ads and around 7 out of 10 people thought Facebook ads were relevant. This is because they are engaging, give you longer time to cover more information, and make viewers stay on your ad for longer.
When running video ads, you will find that videos can reach much larger audiences than if you were to use images (on the same budget!). This is due to the fact that Facebook will notice people are staying on your ad for longer, which is a strong ranking factor in the Facebook ad algorithm. Video advertising is therefore more important than ever for your business, so don’t make the mistake of not using it!

The whole aim of advertising on Facebook is to get your ads seen by a significant number of people who find your ads relevant and who are genuinely interested in your products or service. It’s important to remember that more people seeing your ads doesn’t necessarily mean more people will buy your product or services.
With 60 million business pages on Facebook, it is crucial you target your audience properly, otherwise the chances of your ads getting lost in the huge stream of content is very high.
So, for every Facebook campaign, you need to set up the correct custom audience.

No matter how amazing your campaigns are, it is important to consistently monitor them so that you can learn how to improve them as well as your future campaigns. If you don’t monitor your ads daily, how will you know if your campaign is achieving the objectives you set it up for?
