Creating and managing your business on Facebook – Thursday 20th May 2021
Creating and managing your business on Facebook – Thursday 20th May – 10:00 – 13:00
Running a Facebook page has become an essential part of a marketing strategy for many businesses, from engaging with existing fans to running ads to future customers. In order to make it easy for anyone to set up a business and create their first ads, Facebook has a number of different tools and methods available for building your presence. For business owners looking to occasionally spend small amounts to support specific campaigns, a simple Facebook page, combined with the Facebook Ad Centre contains more than enough features to help you define your audience and engage with them in a way that will generate meaningful results.
In this 3-hour workshop you will learn:
• How Facebook differs for business owners, the differences between pages and profiles, and why you need them both
• What are the key features of a Facebook page, how can it be optimised effectively, and how do you start posting content
• The differences between boosting posts, Ad Centre and Ads Manager, and when each tool is most appropriate
• What success looks like on a paid ad, and how that information can be used to inform future ads
Please note: This workshop has been designed with small business owners in mind who have little to no experience in paid social ads, and are looking to run occasional ad-hoc ads. It will not be suitable for anyone using or looking to use Facebook Business Manager or Facebook Ads Manager, which are tools designed for businesses with higher and more consistent levels of spend.
