Create The Right Audience For Your Ads
First and foremost, you’ll want to make sure you target the right audience for your ads because if you get this wrong, all the other steps will be for nothing.
There are a few things to think about when creating your target audience. Start by selecting which Facebook page you’d like to advertise on (eg. your brand’s page, or a product page).
From there, you’ll see the targeting options available for that specific page. You can limit your audience based on things like geography, age, gender, interests, relationship status, employment, education, device type, and more.
There are thousands of different ways to filter your target audience, so you’ll want to find the right mix that best represents your brand and customers. The more specific you can get, the better your ads will perform.
When To Run Facebook Ads
Once you’ve created the perfect ad, you’ll want to know when is the best time to run it. There are a few factors to consider when deciding when to run your ads. - What time of year is it? - What is the weather like? - What is the average age of your customers? First, you’ll want to take into account the season.
For example, if you’re selling summer clothing, you’ll likely want to run your ads during the spring and summer months, since people are more likely to shop for these items when it’s warm outside. Next, you’ll want to think about the weather.
For example, if you run an ice cream shop, you might want to run your ads during the summer, when people are looking to cool off with a frozen treat. If you own a clothing store, you’ll want to wait to run your ads until the winter, when people will want to stay warm.
Decide What You Want To Achieve
Before you create your ad, you’ll want to decide exactly what you want to achieve.
Is your goal to generate leads?
Get more page likes?
Get more clicks to your website?

How many people should see your ad?
