Traditional advertising is DEAD. Not too long ago you'd have to use Television, Radio, and Magazines to get your message out to the world hoping to find customers. This ‘shotgun approach’ meant you'd pay for your advertisement to get in front of everyone, regardless if they are a possible customer or not. So if you had a men’s hair restoration clinic, for example, your ads would be seen by men, women, and children of all ages and you'd cross your fingers hoping your ideal customer happens to see your expensive advertisement.
However, we now live in the 21st century and Social Media Marketing allows you to define your ideal customer and target them with ads. It means that if you have a men’s hair restoration clinic, we can tell Facebook that we want your advertisement to go out only to men, 35-55 years old, so you are not paying to advertise to younger men, women, or children who have no need for your products or services. We can also refine your audience further by targeting ads toward people with job titles such as “Sales” or “CEO” or “Engineer” or “Hair stylist” or "Baker" or “Astronaut”… well, you get the point. We can even target people who have liked other Facebook pages which we've identified for your ideal customer such as your competitors’ websites, or certain brands that your customers are interested in.
In the old days only big companies could afford traditional marketing, but now social media has given the power to the people. Small companies can now afford to run ad campaigns that target their perfect customers who are most likely to buy, which means your advertising doesn’t cost…IT PAYS.
