Targeting the Right Audience
Knowing your target audience is crucial to succeeding on modern advertising platforms like Facebook and Twitter. If you’re targeting the wrong crowd, then chances are you’re not going to get very good engagement rates.
For instance, if you’re selling women’s relationship products, there’s no sense in including men in your target audience, right?
If you’re targeting older women, say 35 - 65 year-olds, then you shouldn’t include females outside of that age range.
Knowing who to target is extremely important. You don’t want to be wasting money or annoying your ad viewers.
Here are some best practice targeting suggestions for Beirresistible products.
