Think about a specific marketing goal you would like to accomplish – say, getting more website visitors, growing your audience on Facebook, or collecting leads. You can do any of those with a specific Facebook ad. If you have some great beginning-of-the-year specials or promotions, you can use them in your advertising copy to entice new customers.
