It used to be like…

If you build it, they will come!


But Then…

o The internet became a little cluttered

o Things like “Facebook Reachageddon” made us Pay-to-Play Facebook Reachageddon = The End of Organic Reach.

If you aren’t paying to boost your posts, only 1-2% of your fans will see your posts organically


It’s OK!

Marketers who know what they are doing on social can blow away the competition with

strategic ads.

You’ve never been able to market

smarter to a more expansive audience!


The 5 Step Success Recipe for social ads

① PLAN ahead. ② REACH the right people.③ ENTICE with relevant creative. ④ CONVERT visitors to customers. ⑤ SCALE smarter.

Set goals for your ads


Social Ads Terms Crash Course: o Reach: the unique # of users that have seen your post

o Potential Reach: approximate # of users your ad can potentially reach based on your audience criteria

What things should look for and measure?
