Marcus Ho, Director of Social Media for SocialMetric, explains how smart, targeted Facebook ads can be the key to finding the right customers:
[quote]Few companies know how to use Facebook effectively to meet those goals. Despite what a lot of social media gurus say, you can’t rely on Facebook to do the work for you. More often than not, you have to analyze your needs and craft a strategy that targets those needs. In many cases, you’ll find that you get the best results by doing the opposite of what Facebook wants you to do.[/quote]
