Putting a New Face on Facebook – June 2017

Changing Tides - June 2017

As a founding member of the social media revolution, Facebook has grown to over 1.5 Billion users per month worldwide.

I never realized the potential for Facebook in terms of reaching B2B customers until now. The ability to micro target people based on what they do is huge. For instance, I recently discovered I could reach 100,000 warehouse managers and supervisors across the U.S. on their Facebook pages. No way could I achieve this with magazine ads or direct mail, and the ability to present self-running video ads is almost as effective as old-fashioned television ads back in the 1950s.

Now, ads can appear on a single, microscopically targeted channel, such as warehouse managers’ personal Facebook pages. Do you think they are offended by ads that feature warehouse products? No, they are not, since the content is relevant to their livelihood. No wonder Facebook advertising has grown 25% in 2017 alone.
