AUDIENCE:
Who are you targeting?
Facebook will now ask you to define who you want to see your ads. The social
network has around two billion users: targeting everyone will be much the
same as targeting no one. Facebook allows you to select and customize based
on three types of audiences:
Core audiences
Manual set criteria for your target audience.
Custom audiences
Facebook “discovers” an existing audience
by pulling up your contact list.
Lookalike audiences
Facebook finds a “sister audience” by
specifying people similar to an existing
target audience.
PRO TIP:
It’s highly recommended to narrowly specify
your target audience. By hyper-targeting your
audience, you’re increasing your chances for
engagement.
