The data shows that every business' audience's attention is on Facebook. Regardless of what kind of business you have, your target audience, and it's decision makers, are using Facebook.

As such, Facebook Ads, still are less expensive than traditional mainstream media. It's cost per audience attention is so much cheaper than TV, Radio, Print and Billboard. Not only that, but it's cheaper than LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat and other digital advertising on YouTube and Google Ads.

But the cost per audience attention is only one part of making a decision on whether or not to advertise on Facebook.

The creative is the differentiator. If you don't have the ability to make the creative that your audience wants to see, your ads won't make a difference and you'll be wasting your money.

One tool that my team and I recommend using to make creative is called Canva.com. It's like giving you the design capabilities without having to learn Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Premiere.
