What's Working?
Facebook has become a juggernaut over the years; now one of the world’s largest social platforms with 2.7 billion monthly active users, which has made advertising on the platform incredibly lucrative and successful.

However, trying to navigate Facebook for Business is complicated and the number of options available is frankly staggering. Jumping in for the first time can be intimidating, to put it nicely.

Why Advertise on Facebook & Instagram?
Traditional advertising typically comes with an astronomical price tag, making it a difficult, or impossible option for small businesses with limited advertising budgets.

Facebook advertising is much more affordable, with options like boosting posts for as little as $20, and a robust suite of tools for analytics and building custom targeted audiences.

These tools are invaluable when learning how to test and optimize Facebook campaigns, and offer volumes of data that you would not have access to through traditional advertising methods, such as print, TV, radio, or magazine ads.

As you can see from the above graph, advertising on Facebook has become an incredibly lucrative business, and with so many businesses transitioning into the digital space, it's a great opportunity to develop cost-effective campaigns, and potentially reach millions of users.

So, why advertise on Facebook and Instagram?

* Running small campaigns is very cost-effective.
* Robust set of tools and analytics.
* Facebook Advertising is highly successful.
