Social networks are in full swing, they went from being a communication and information channel to being the ideal medium for online campaigns. Facebook went from being a simple social network, through which you can communicate and make friends anywhere in the world, to become the ideal platform to sell and promote products and services online.

Running campaigns on Facebook does not mean just uploading an image, placing a simple message and clicking the promote button. Of course it helps to do it this way, but if your goal is to achieve new customers, and for your brand to be recognized, then you are not doing it correctly.

You must bear in mind that by using posts engagement you will only be promoting the existing content of your fan page, and you will only reach your audience from it, it is not exactly an advertising campaign, since you are only promoting a publication, so if You really hope that your strategy has a good development, you should do it through the creation of campaigns in the Facebook Business Manager to take advantage of each weight, correctly select your audience and location.

Importance of Facebook Pixel

Many are unaware of the importance of using the Facebook Pixel to record important data on their web pages.

Many giants of digital marketing and e-commerce, like Amazon. The interesting thing about the pixel is that you will not only reach the public that has already visited or seen your content, your products, but also show your ads to interested users.
