Making the Case for Facebook Advertising
Facebook advertising presents marketers with a vast and truly global advertising opportunity.
Did you know?
- 7.5% of global page views are on Facebook
- The average user spends 28 minutes on the site each day
- Facebook officially surpassed Google in weekly traffic in 2010
- People who Like a brand’s Facebook page spend twice as much money on the brand’s products as people who have not connected
It’s no surprise that marketers are increasingly seeking to engage with Facebook users through ads, fan pages, news feeds, applications, and events. As a result, Facebook’s advertising revenue in the fourth quarter of 2012 grew 41% to $1.33 billion, a testament to the growth of user adoption and the value of the channel.
Still, Facebook advertising can be intimidating. Some marketers worry about spending too much time and resources on the medium. Others struggle to capture the attention of users. And then there are marketers who turn to Facebook advertising because they think it’s a required component of any good marketing program without ever really understanding the dynamics behind it.
