Top 3 Facebook Trends
Facebook Live
In 2021 video content is more relevant than ever. In fact, social video content generates three times more engagement than traditional videos or any other images and texts. It’s all about being in the moment and truly connecting with your target audience by providing a personal and more engaging insight into your brand. Use Facebook Live to boost sales and further build your brand by:
streaming at a live event
hosting a weekly chat with a special guest
announcing a giveaway or new products
Facebook News Feed Ads
Facebook continues to make it easier for your business to advertise on its platform. The latest News Feed Ads functionality allows your target audience to find your business by scrolling through their news feed on desktops, tablets and mobiles.
News Feed Ads have a higher click-through rate and lower cost-per-conversion than right column ads, and they’re better for attracting an audience who are not yet familiar with your brand or company.
