We bring to you the top 10 Facebook advertising features you need to be using if you want to reach your future customers today.
1. Carousel Ads
Visual content and storytelling are the flavors of advertising today and Facebook has found a way to combine both two elements with Carousel Ads. You can use Carousel Ads to explain the features of a product you sell (or an entire collection), showcase your brand’s USP, or highlight a promotion you’re running.
Using this Facebook ad type, you can leverage:

• Links
• A Call to Action
• Up to 10 images or videos
• Headlines (for each image/video)

Show off your creativity, highlight what makes your brad unique, and boost engagement metrics with Carousel Ads.
2. The Facebook Pixel
If you are not using Facebook pixel you are wasting your time and money. Guys, you need to use the Facebook pixel. Without it, you can’t make use of Facebook’s insane remarketing and lookalike audience features.
It’s how you measure conversions, optimize your ads and targeting, and gain insights about the Facebook users who visit your website.
Facebook pixel implementation is simple, simply go to Ads Manager, create a pixel, name it, create it, copy the code onto your web pages to start tracking actions, and you’re done.
Once the Facebook pixel is implemented on your webpage, you can track the actions people take, such as viewing your content, adding items to their shopping cart, or making a purchase, and use those insights to move prospects down the funnel and discover (then advertise to) users who share traits with your existing customers.

3. Website Conversion Campaigns
After Facebook pixel, it’s time to start running Website Conversion campaigns.
The objective of a Website Conversion campaign is to get people to take a specific on-site (or in-app) action after viewing your ad.
“Action” can be defined as process of doing something. It could mean driving people to your website, someone adding an item to a shopping cart, a visitor completing a purchase, or any customized parameter that you have set to measure the value of an action taken on your website.
If you don’t usually see 15-25 conversions in a week, consider optimizing for impressions or reach instead.
4. Behavior Targeting
Set your Target buyer, know your buyer and this can be done by behavior targeting. Target people who are interested in your product or service.
Facebook’s behavior targeting is all about reaching people based on past purchase behavior, purchase intent, device usage, travel preferences, and other behavioral characteristics.
There are numerous User behaviors which can be targeted on Facebook. Facebook also works with third party data partners to get user-behavior data collected.
To get in front of the right audience at the right time and with minimal resources, Behavior Targeting is a must on Facebook.

Interest targeting allows you to reach your target audience based on the things users are interested in, this could be activities, hobbies, the pages they have liked and more.
Some of the Interests that you can target are – Fitness and wellness, Industries, Businesses, Entertainment etc.
Facebook collects this data of interests from:

• Information users provide in their profile updates
• Content they share
• Keywords related to pages
• Apps someone has used and liked
• Ads they’ve clicked on in the past

7. Remarketing
Remarketing is a no brainer and is incredibly valuable. This is already known.
People who see your remarketing ads normally on an average are likely to convert and three times more likely to engage. You can target look-alike audiences as well
Facebook remarketing normally gets your ads in front of three groups of people:
Website visitors: People who have visited your website or specific pages within a certain period of time. (Another reason you need the Facebook pixel!)
Contact lists: People who have shared their email or phone number with your company (e.g., they’ve signed up for your newsletter or attended one of your webinars). You upload this list to Facebook.
App users: People who have used your app.
Because these people already know your brand, you’ll want to use Remarketing to push your hard offers and to try to force these people to take an action. An action can be as simple as booking a Free consultation.

It’s also important that you refer the Facebook benchmark across different industries to realistically set your target ratios for your product or service.
