3 Reasons Why You Should Advertise on Facebook!
There are over 42 MILLION Facebook business pages out there, and it is growing every minute. Facebook users (the visitors that “like” your page) spend an average of 40 minutes a day on the social media website. When you post an update to your page whether it be an image, a video, or a plain text announcement, you assume that all the followers of your page are seeing your update. However, there is a little secret that Facebook does not want you to know. Behind the scenes, Facebook is choosing which posts are viewed by which followers of your page based on their interests and likes.
So, how do you fix this?! Facebook Advertising!
#1 It’s Where Your Customers Are!
With over 1 billion users on Facebook, your audience is definitely somewhere in that mix! Facebook offers the widest audience you can get, second in line to search engines. It far exceeds television, newspaper and magazine advertising. Think about it, what other type of media are people carrying around with them 24/7?
#2 Dig Deeply into Your Target Market
Facebook is extremely specific with its targeting capabilities. You can choose who you want your ad to show to based on categories such as location, behaviors interests, age, languages, etc. After you choose, it will notify you of how many users your ad will be displayed to.
#3 Others have had Huge Success!
Stittsworth Meats: When the owner of Stittsworth Meats bought the meat market a few years ago, the first thing he did was set up a Facebook page. With a combination of frequent posts, contests/giveaways, and advertising on Facebook, the shop has taken off, and sales are up 250 percent!!
Carol’s Daughter is a skincare, hair care and beauty product company. Owner, Lisa Price started the business in her kitchen, opening up her first store in Brooklyn, New York in the late 90’s. When the Carol’s Daughter team started using Facebook, it was mostly to build brand awareness and to connect with their followers. The team then started using Facebook advertising to promote newly launched products, achieving sales in excess of $20 million!

3 Reasons Why Your Business Needs to be on Youtube Today!
TV is not the only way your business can get in front of large crowds anymore. We all have at one time or another visited Youtube.com, whether it is to watch adorable puppy videos or to learn how to create a top blog post. Did you know Youtube has over 1 billion users?! You heard me right, one BILLION! If your business is not yet utilizing the mega media outlet that is Youtube, don’t wait another day..
Reason #1: Youtube is Mobile Friendly!
Not only can Youtube’s billion users search and watch video clips while they surf the web at home, but now you are targeting users with video right in their pocket! Two-thirds of Americans are now smart phone users and are always searching while on the run. These users have their phone in hand and are ready to call your business.
Reason #2: Youtube is Owned by Google
Youtube was bought by Google in 2006. It’s no surprise that Google is the most popular search engine all over the world. Youtube is now the second ranked search engine. You may have noticed when you go to www.google.com and search, Youtube videos show up in the listings as well as on the “Videos” tab on Google.com. This opens up huge doors for your videos to be found when your customers are searching on Google. Don’t miss out!
Reason #3: Youtube Offers that Real Touch
Don’t conform to just having a website full of text. Don’t get me wrong, blogging is critical for search engine rankings. However, Youtube not only is ranked highly in the search engines (particularly Google), but it also gives your visitors that real person connection. Words on a screen are nice, but they want to see you move, walk, and talk. Studies show that when your visitors feel connected to you, they will ultimately go that extra step and do what you are asking, whether it is to sign up for a mailing list, like your Facebook page, or call your business.
If you would like help setting up a Youtube channel, we would be happy to consult with you and get you started! Call us at (914) 315-9651 or email Design@feelingthevibe.com.
