2. REACH YOUR AUDIENCE

Connections: You can select your audience based on whether or not they are connected to any of your Pages, apps or events

Audience Targeting

TIPS

Advanced Targeting: You can further narrow your search by selecting the people they are interested in (gender), their relationship status, language, education & workplace

Precise Interest: You can target people based on their interests. In this area Facebook looks at things such as pages they’ve liked, their interests & activities

Location: If you are a local business or have limited funds, it is recommended you start with selecting a particular state, city or even neighborhood and grow from there

Broad Categories: Use this area to target people who share similar interests and traits. This information is pulled from what people have published in their timeline 10

3. REACH YOUR AUDIENCE

More tips:

Naming your campaign: Be sure to give each campaign a different name, which displays the targeting you chose. **Facebook automatically allocate more of your daily budget to higher performing ads. It’s important to put your ads in different campaigns when you’re testing them**

Select your budget: Be sure to select a budget that’s in or above the suggested by Facebook

Set the schedule for your campaign: After you place your order, your ad will be reviewed by Facebook. This can take up to 24 hours

Select your pricing method: Unless you’ve chosen Advanced Options in the goals section, you’ll pay for impressions (CPM). Personally, I always use CPC

Post at least 1 or 2 times per week so you stay top-of mind and relevant to the people who like your Page

Continue to engage: Encourage people to develop a relationship with your page, make sure you respond to comments and private messages

Address specific people: If a lot of people have commented on a post, to address a specific person, you can tag them in your response by typing @ before their name.

Keep track of messages: When people send you a private message, you’ll see a notification about it in your admin panel. Keep track of new messages and respond to them to let customers know that you’re listening.
