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!

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.
