Facebook and Instagram ads have caused a major paradigm shift in marketing and advertising as we know it. How do Facebook ads allow us to fine-tune all our marketing efforts? Do we need thousands of followers to have success with social media advertising?

On this episode, social media advertising specialist and consulting, Tristen Sutton shares why we need to invest more in Facebook ads.

Watch the Full Interview:

Facebook Ads essentially force your brand and content into the news feeds of the tablets, phones and computers of your target market, instead of a post-and-hope strategy. -Tristen Sutton

Takeaways + Tactics

• Don’t have a Blockbuster strategy in a Netflix Reality. We must first accept that everything evolves and that social media is a phenomenal way to get attention and build awareness in today’s world.
• Video Ads are the perfect way to feel out an audience, it’s a self-selecting type of ad. If they watch 25% or more of the video, we know they are interested and we can put them into their own bucket to retarget them.
• Likes and follows don’t matter as much if you run ads. Facebook Ads make us exempt from the algorithm. If you don’t have enough followers, building awareness is as simple as running ads.
• The 4 ads every Realtor should run are reach ads, video ads, website traffic ads and open house ads.
