Purpose of Facebook Ads
It’s important to remember that Facebook isn’t really a place for advertising. It’s a place for engaging and entertaining. Marketers who want to attract an audience need to know how to engage with their audience and make the conversation about the users.
Bond says Facebook marketing is a process. There is no secret formula or single strategy that will work perfectly every time. You need to analyze your own content to see if it’s successful. Is it engaging with your target audience? How can we understand our audience better? Then, you need to review what’s working to make actual positive changes.
Marketing Strategy
Boring schedulers and cookie-cutter marketing don’t work on Facebook. Bond suggests marketers adapt their plan to their audience and be flexible when making changes. She warns against marketers jumping from Facebook pages to Facebook groups. Instead, use the tools you already have to your advantage. Things like live broadcasts can increase community and boost engagement.
