Do More On Facebook Before Heading To A Retailer’s Website
Facebook is really good at advertising. We know that. Thanks to all the data it gathers about it users, Facebook is able to target audiences like no other platform. But often, ads redirect to third-party websites that are not always optimised for mobile browsing, and this is when most people drop off.
That’s why Facebook has been testing Canvas, a new ad experience that helps businesses drive any advertising objective without having to redirect to their own sites straight away.
But the most important new feature of all, is the new “Shopping” section within Facebook’s mobile app.
A Single Place For Product Discovery And Distribution
