Even after hits like iOS14 FaceBook can be a powerful place to advertise. This disruption-based platform is perfect for building audiences of people who engage with your content (build your own pond) and then retargeting them with offers.
Make sure to also use this when running your perpetual, audience growing giveaway!
Remember: Building audiences from those who engage with your brand is not instant. It can take some time to dial in. You’ll want to adopt the “I will test until I crack it” mindset!
