Custom audience featured image

Facebook’s best feature when it comes to advertising is the Facebook Custom Audiences. It allows retargeting of people who already have interacted with your business or ads before.

And the more you know about the audience you’re advertising to, the better your ads will likely perform. When you market to a Custom Audience, you will know exactly who is viewing your ads, and your messaging can be targeted with high precision. This will help you increase your conversion rates and get a better return on investment.

Advantages of Using Facebook Custom Audiences

This allows you to select a very specific target. Resulting in better and more optimised ads.

Follow up with the people who left items in their cart and target them for a Facebook ad before they forget to check that out.

  1. Sell to active subscribers

Prioritize improving your conversion rate by selling to active subscribers. The ones who subscribed to your list also actively open your emails. This means that they like it enough to subscribe to your list and regularly want to be updated.

  • Sellers who signed up as a Facebook Page Shop previously will be encouraged to convert to shops. You will receive an email or notification that says they are now allowed to use Facebook Shops.
  • New retailers can make a shop in Commerce Manager. If you’re a newbie, you can create a shop through Commerce Manager.
  • Create assortments to tailor your shop and entice customers. Each collection will be able to have a name, description, cover photo, and can include 2 or more products. Tailor an assortment of products to help shoppers find products that are right for them.

When you add new items to your shop, people will see it in their News Feed, on the Facebook Shop tab, and notification alerts.
