1 . Facebook Has a Massive Audience

Facebook has over 1.4 billion users worldwide with 90 million visitors each day. Not only does Facebook have a large audience, it also has the highest user activity. Currently, Facebook is the most popular social media website. Data from Pew Research Center shows that 70% of U.S. Facebook users access the site daily and 43% of the 70% access it multiple times a day. Additionally, 82% of 18-29 year-olds are active Facebook users.Thus, advertising on Facebook means higher chances of reaching your desired audience.

2. Behavioral Targeting

With behavioral targeting, Facebook can target users’ real life behaviors. For example, how many credit cards users own, what type of credit cards users own, whether or not a user is a home owner, what type of stores users visit.

Behavioral targeting allows advertisers to target users who will likely be more interested in their products based on their behaviors.

3. Facebook Is Cost Effective

Compared to Google AdWords, Facebook ads are inexpensive. In fact, Facebook allows advertisers to control their own budget. Advertisers can choose the total amount they want to spend on an ad and decide how long they want it to remain active. Facebook only shows ads to users who are more likely to take action. Thus, for a reasonable amount, businesses are more likely to reach more audiences, and consequently, more likely to receive conversions.

4. Facebook Has a Powerful Audience Insights Tool

Audience Insights Tool allows advertisers to know their audience so they can generate content relevant to their audience. Facebook gives advertisers information about their audience’s geography, lifestyle, demographics, and purchase behavior. This can include age, job title, and relationship status.

5. Facebook Reaches a Huge Mobile Audience

Currently, most people use mobile phones to access Facebook. When Facebook reported its earnings on July 27, it reported that out of its $6.2 billion ad revenues, $5.2 came from mobile devices. These numbers show that Facebook can reach users who are away from their laptops and desktops. Facebook can advertise through the Facebook app, Instagram (owned by Facebook), and soon, as rumors have it, the Facebook messenger app.
