Sorry my CAPS LOCK got stuck!
Why is Facebook Ads a No-brainer for your business?
#1 Facebook has more than 2 billion users on its platform, regardless of your type of business, I know for sure your customers are there also, so why aren’t you getting them to see you?
#2 Users are beginning to spend more time on their phones than ever before, giving you room to get them to notice you. You have to advertise where your customers are.
#3 With Targeted advertising, you cannot only choose the locations where you want your ads to show, you can select age, gender, interest, buying behavior, or even the type of phone your target audience uses.. So if you sell Iphone cases and accessories, you can set your Ad to show to only users who access Facebook via Iphone.
#4 Facebook advertising is affordable, you can make 2,000 persons aware of your business with just 1,000 naira (if you setup your ads correctly). Unlike traditional marketing where you have to print flyers and pay for distribution, your ads get delivered seamlessly to an audience interested in doing business with you.
I don’t have a website
For most Facebook Ad types, you are required to have a page and also a website. While the former (facebook page) is free, creating your own website is not.
To create a Facebook page takes less than 5 mins to setup, don’t be lazy (joking) but if you are truly busy and would rather spend your time doing something else don’t forget you can get hire a freelancer to do it for you.
This question is for you, why do you not already have a website?
Not Enough Money? If you were told that a website would make you get 3 million in sales every month, I bet you don’t mind paying 300,000 to get one, funny as it sounds it’s true.
It’s not needed for your business? Except you hawk handkerchiefs along Lagos-ore road, every business needs a website
Obviously it’s not a question, go and get a website today.. you can hire freelancers to just put up something decent online for you for about 10,000 so you don’t have any excuse.
Are you sure it would work?
