80% of all Internet users use Facebook. Even 65% of adults over the age of 65 use Facebook. It has billions of users and most of them check their Facebook page multiple times per day. Regardless of who your customers are, they are using Facebook. And, they use it every day. Therefore, one of the most important benefits of Facebook advertising is that your customers use it daily.
Users are active on social media platforms because these channels offer a fun and easy way to network, keep in touch with friends and family, and stay connected with what’s going on in the world. Typically, users are not on these channels with the expectation that they are going to be marketed to. But this does not mean that social media users aren’t following and interacting with their favorite brands.
Another benefit of marketing through social media is that it helps you improve visibility, and thus increase recognition for your brand. Your business social media profiles present new opportunities to share your content and really present your brand’s voice and personality. By posting compelling content that adds value for your target audience, you are making your brand both more accessible and familiar for new leads and current customers.
Your social media profiles provide yet another way to get more inbound traffic to your website. This makes marketing through social media an excellent strategy to complement your search engine optimization efforts. Each piece of content that you post to your social media profiles is another opportunity to bring new visitors to your site. Once the visitor gets to your site, you will have the opportunity to convert.
