Facebook offers businesses options to use paid ads on the platform – these are Facebook Ads and Boosted Posts. Both work to “promote” your business, increase reach, engagement and sales, but have different properties to help you reach your ideal audiences.

Boosted Posts 
 
What are Boosted Posts? 
 
Boosted Posts are where you can create ‘adverts’ directly from posts you’ve put onto your Facebook Page. They help to engage audiences that already follow you – anything from comments to interacting with the media within the posts counts as an engagement, and these kinds of posts are more likely to be shared, helping to reach new customers.

There’s been some big social media news this month, from new platform launches to rebrands and feature changes that could be handy for marketers to take advantage of. 
 
Let’s take a look at the latest updates for July 2023…. 
 
Meta Launches Threads 
 
The biggest news from July is the launch of Meta’s new social media app, Threads. 
 
Threads works in a similar way to Twitter – even having a similar interface, where users can create text-based posts, follow other creators, like, repost and quote other ‘thread’s’. They have also introduced a similar ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ timeline feature, after listening to concerns from users that they weren’t seeing content from users they follow on the initial app’s rollout. 
 
 
If you’ve found that you’re losing customers before they make purchases, it can be demoralising and feel like your marketing efforts aren’t working. This isn’t necessarily the case. 
 
Through the power of Facebook retargeting, you can bring back the customers you’ve lost, and get them purchasing from your business. Research suggests that 97% of customers will leave a website without making a purchase on their first visit – therefore becoming lost customers. You can however retarget these people via social media – and Facebook is a great tool to use to do this. 
 
Facebook Ad retargeting allows you to find the customers that originally didn’t purchase from you, and get your business back out in front of them. 
 
Here’s how to bring back lost customers using the power of Facebook Retargeting. 
 
 
 
Running a Facebook Ad campaign is a great way to attract more business. However, if you’re starting from scratch, it can be difficult to know exactly what to do to make your ad attractive to your target audience so that they interact with it. 
 
Instead of going all in with one ad and risking a potential failure, Facebook allows you to do A/B testing so you can see what kind of ad campaign is the most suitable for you. 
 
Here’s how to run a successful Facebook Ad A/B Test. 
 
We’ve had a lot of updates for social media platforms this June, from new features to monetisation opportunities. 
 
Here’s the latest updates in the world of social media this month…. 
 
Instagram Tests AI Chatbot in DMs 
 
Meta are currently experimenting with using AI, and over on Instagram they have introduced a new AI chatbot. This works similarly to Snapchats ‘My AI’, where users can ask questions and get instant responses. By @’ing the AI in your DMs, you can incorporate the feature into discussions. 
 
Mark Zuckerberg spoke of Meta’s current decision to focus on developing AI features: “In the short term, we’ll focus on building creative and expressive tools. Over the longer term, we’ll focus on developing AI personas that can help people in a variety of ways. We’re exploring experiences with text, with images, and with video and multi-modal experiences.”
