Is paid Facebook advertising beneficial for small businesses?
I think it is very beneficial for small businesses. It is relatively cheap compared to Adwords. Easy to use dashboard and easy to target your exact audience. Also If you are a bit creative and come up with nice looking advertisements then you have a very good chance of getting customers.
Also it is a good way to increase your brand recognition, especially if you are a local business.
There are so many ways to promote a small business for free. I've never really seen any benefit in paying for advertising, it usually cost more than you'll bring in from those ads. Word of mouth from satisfied customers is still the best promotion any small business can have.
hello there,
According to us, Facebook advertising came out in a positive way and are popular among the people. also according to the research, companies found on Facebook or Twitter more attract the customers than the search engines. So, Facebook advertising can be very helpful for small businesses.
I recently saw a posting about the stock value of Facebook and whether Facebook ads actually work. It had a simple survey: click Yes if you've EVER clicked on a Facebook ad and click NO if you've NEVER clicked on an ad. I clicked No, and I forget the numbers, but the No's won easily. I would put my advertising efforts (and money) elsewhere.
I am not sure paid advertising on social media is good any more. Because Facebook like media are password protected sites that menace those sites prevent the search engines from crawling on to your advertisement.
Ten years ago Facebook or Instagram were the places where people use to wonder to find or ask for information. Now-a-days I see mostly marketing and sales people visit Facebooks to sell something with some innovative techniques. What I mean is majority users of Facebook wonder there with mindset of selling something and they usefully not in a buying mode or willing to buy from you. In short you would be advertising to people who are also advertising their business or product or services to you it Is like stalemate situation.
Rather you should use open platform like https://www.RegularAds.com where you may find lot of benefits.
