Facebook continues to grow in number every year since it launched in 2004. As of today, it is still the most used social platform with nearly 2.45 billion monthly active users from all around the world!
Throughout the years, it has grown from a site where people in colleges would accept each other as digital “friends” to one of the biggest and most influential companies around the globe, one with billions of users, and one that holds the power to affect political landscapes.
As a business owner and as a marketer, Facebook is giving you a way to reach your exact target audience. The least and the most you can do is to take advantage of Facebook advertising to put your brand out in the know — especially to your target audience who are most likely to want your products or services.
Facebook makes it simple enough to share photos and videos, messages, and files between people that it has been a regular daily stop for many of its users. If you want to closely target an audience and deliver ads directly to people who are most likely to be interested in your brand, Facebook is the key.
Facebook has long been providing businesses and marketers with the largest advertising opportunity, proven true with their 22 billion ad clicks per year. The platform has 1.49 billion users worldwide, which is why it’s no surprise that whoever you’re planning to reach is somewhere out there enjoying Facebook.
The best part of Facebook advertising? Facebook has a wide range of ad formats to choose from! You can construct a perfect ad experience by customizing your ad design, copy, landing pages, and every element of the campaign including technical aspects such as target audience, bidding, and delivery optimization among others.
Facebook ads, compared to other online marketing channels, tend to cost less. This means that if you’re strapped for cash, all you need to do is ensure that you set reasonable daily ad spending so you don’t go over the budget you set.

There are A LOT of Facebook ad marketing tools that you can use for your business and your campaigns but in this post, we will only be highlighting and focusing on tools that are managed and ran by Facebook itself.
Ads Manager, available on desktop and mobile, is the most basic Facebook marketing tool that uses the same powerful advertising tools like Instagram. You can set up, make changes, and see results for all your campaigns, ad sets, and ads in one place!
☝️ Pro Tip: If you don't share your ad account with anyone else, Ads Manager is perfect for you.
Business Manager is a one-stop-shop where you can manage all of your marketing and advertising activity on Facebook. Business Manager allows you to create ads, manage multiple assets (such as Facebook Pages and Instagram profiles), and easily share access to these across your team and your external partners.
Audience Insights gives you a collection of information about two groups of people — particularly the people connected to your page and the people that are using Facebook — so you can create more content relatable to them.
Facebook Mobile Studio assists you in creating great ads directly from your mobile phone. Facebook provides easy-to-follow video guides, a downloadable planning brief, and creative app recommendations to get you started on your ads.
Choosing your objective is the first thing you do when creating an ad in Ads Manager. Facebook ads work best when you're focused on what you want to achieve because your objectives will help to clarify your goals for ad campaigns.
To choose the right ad objective, you have to figure the most important outcome that you want from your ad — sales, app downloads, or brand awareness.
Select the demographics, interests, and behaviors that best represent your target audience by using the information that you know about them including (but not limited to) their age, location, and other details.
Decide where you want to run your ad — it could be Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Audience Network, or across them all.
Enter your daily or lifetime budget, and the period you would want your ads to run.
Choose from six different ad formats that are designed to work on every device and connection speed. If you’re unsure which ad format fits your campaign the best, check out Facebook’s Ad guides.
After submitting your ad, it goes to Facebook’s ad auction which helps in making your ad available to your rightful audience.
You can track your ad’s performance and edit your campaign in Ads Manager as you see fit.
