Facebook offers many ad formats and delivery options. Learn about Carousel ads, Image ads, Custom audience, and Augmented reality. These features can be used to help advertise your business to a larger audience. These options allow for more targeted advertising and help maximize your ad performance.
Carousel ads
Carousel ads make it easy to promote multiple products and/or services. These ads don't overwhelm a user with text, and can be enhanced by supporting videos and images. Engaging content will grab a viewer's attention, and keep them browsing the page. Use compelling content to engage your target audience in order to maximize your Facebook ads.
Facebook Carousel ads can have up to ten cards. Each card can show different items and each one has its own CTA. It is crucial to tell a cohesive story through the ads. Each card should complement the previous one. Visually distinct cards make them more appealing. Additionally, each card's text should give context to the product and provide high-value details.
Facebook Carousel ads can be created using the Facebook Ads Manager. To do so, click the Promote button in the upper right-hand corner of the page or click Manage Ads. Create an ad campaign and then follow the guided creation process to create your Facebook ad.
Image ads
Image ads are one of the best ways to advertise on Facebook. These ads are great for increasing brand awareness and building brand reputation. For these ads to be effective, the image and copy should match as closely as possible. If they do not match, users might be confused as to what the ad actually is about. A good example of this is Starbucks, who stitched together three photos for their World's Largest #StarbucksDate campaign. The copy in the image mentions chocolate brownies and French press caffe Verona.
Images should have high resolution in order to be more easily read and represent your brand. Images should be at least 479 x 246 pixels to qualify for placement in Facebook's news feed. Any image smaller than that will not be approved. Facebook Stories is limited to square images 1:1 and vertical 9/16 images.
Custom audience
You can use custom audiences to retarget your Facebook ads. These audiences are people who have interacted or made purchases with your company in some way. These people might have subscribed or bought products from your shop. If you have a list of these people, you can upload it as a CSV file and Facebook will automatically create a Custom Audience based on their details.
It is very easy to set-up Custom Audiences. To start, open Facebook's audiences page and click Create Custom Audience. This will take you to a page where you can choose the Custom Audiences you wish to target. You can then enter customer information and import a MailChimp mailing list.
You can also exclude certain Custom Audiences. You may want to exclude users who haven't visited your website in 180 days. So you aren't flooding your website by irrelevant ads.
Augmented reality ads
Facebook offers brands unique opportunities to engage customers through Augmented Reality Ads. These interactive ads have a higher chance of capturing attention and can be used to help brands make emotional connections with their customers. These enhanced experiences might even motivate more customers make a purchase. Here are three methods to include augmented reality ads into your Facebook campaigns.
Using Augmented reality ads in Facebook campaigns is not new, but some brands are experimenting with this technology. Michael Kors, a fashion company, created a visualisation experience for their product to promote it. It garnered significant media attention. The ad was featured in over 30 articles, including in the New York Times, AdAge, AdWeek, CNBC, and Forbes. AdAge called it one the most innovative ads of the year.
Augmented reality ads are growing in popularity. As more people use AR-enabled devices, the market for AR products is expected to hit $124 billion by 2024. AR apps are used by more than 25% of consumers, primarily for social networking and gaming. Facebook AR ads can help brands create an unforgettable experience for their customers. They're more effective than traditional banner ads and are therefore more cost-effective.

-
Make sure that your subject line is memorable. Your headline may not be enough to catch attention.
-
Be concise. Avoid rambling on about your press release. Keep things short and sweet.

These tips will help you when writing your press releases:

Before you create your press release think about your audience. What do they care about most? How can you connect with them?

First, ask permission. Before sending out your press release, ask the recipient if he would like to receive future news releases.

Don't spam. Do not send out multiple copies of your press release.
Once your press release is written, you can start to distribute it. The next step in getting your message across is finding the right channels. Here are five of the most popular channels:
Traditional
Most likely, you already have a list that includes publications to which your press releases should be submitted. These may include local newspapers, magazines, trade journals, industry newsletters, and blogs.
Many publications require a submission fee or even offer special incentives to writers who pitch stories. Some publications, for example, offer subscriptions free of charge for every published story. Some offer a percentage for every article that is sold.
While submitting your press release through traditional means is still an option, most experts recommend going online.
Online channels
Online channels can be a great way for you to reach potential readers. Websites like Google News, Yahoo!, Bing News and AOL also provide opportunities for press releases to appear on their sites.
Google News, which has been around for over a decade, provides news feeds of major media outlets. It is simple to find your company name amongst hundreds of other businesses.
Yahoo! Yahoo! News offers similar services. However, it is focused on providing news related to specific topics. If you search for your company's name, you'll see links to articles related to your business.
BING NEWS lets users search for keywords across its network of websites. This is very helpful when searching for information about a topic.
AOL news offers similar services to Yahoo! Google News, and AOL News. AOL isn't as well known as the other giants but it does provide a quality service at an affordable price.
Some publications allow you to publish your own press releases. Most require a monthly payment. However, many sites offer free access to press releases.
These include PRWeb and Press Release Monitor, PR Newswire and Business Wire.
PR Web was established in 1997 and is the largest website devoted to press releases. It has more than 1,000,000 registered members. It allows users to access thousands of press releases from businesses around the world.
PR Web also offers an RSS feed which updates your site when someone posts a news release.
PR Newswire is another excellent resource for finding press release information. They claim to possess the largest database of press releases.
The site also offers an RSS feed that allows you to keep up-to date on all the news in the press space.
Print media might be the way to go if you're looking to reach a wider audience than just online journalists. Print media is a powerful tool for small businesses.
If your business sells books, clothing, and electronics, print ads could be used to promote your latest product. Advertising in magazines and newspapers is also possible.
If you are looking for something different, look into the "free" section in your local paper. Many classifieds advertising jobs are available.
You might also contact your local television or radio station. They may accept press releases as part of their regular programming schedule.

People today expect immediate results. You must make sure your message reaches the right audience if you want to be noticed. It is important to use all channels possible to achieve this goal.
Facebook ads are not the only option. Think outside of the box and explore creative options to connect with your customer.
The bottom line is this: The best way to grow your business is through word of mouth. Customers will tell their friends about your business. Why not let them know about your business first?
