Everyone who actively uses Facebook has seen a Facebook ad in some way, shape, or form. Some people like them, some don't. Many have an opinion based on the controversy that surrounds Facebook in general. That said, marketers cannot deny the benefits of using Facebook's ad platform, and with 2 billion active users, that's not going to stop.
With
social platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn, offering advertising options, so businesses are branching out to include them in their marketing strategy. Facebook still comes out on top as it has the most extensive active user base and the most potential for reach. On top of that, since it now owns Instagram, you can integrate dual-platform advertising. All of Instagram's ads run through the Facebook ad manager.
In-stream ads are video advertisements up to 15 seconds in length that will appear within other video content. They will occur when a user is watching content from custom publishers or other creators on their feed. They must be viewing the material for at least a minute before these ad breaks will play, and once they do, the viewer cannot skip them. The video ads are this way, so the viewer is interested in what they are watching and likely to watch the ad play through.
Something to note is that because the video ads are like a commercial break, there is no option to include a click-through or call-to-action button. That said, you can include links toy our landing page on the Audience Network, so make so you use that option.
Instagram Story video ads are also vertical but explicitly used for the Instagram platform. Users will see the ads while they are viewing video content from their friend's stories. It will serve as an ad break between those videos.
You can also feature video ads in Messenger, which will allow you to combine them with the direct response features of Facebook. Stick to advertisements of 15 seconds in length.
Regardless of your budget, Facebook will allow you to use it to its full potential.
With a wide range of targeting and formatting options to choose from, it's the most inclusive ad platform you can find. Even if you want to spread your budget out over multiple platforms, we advise putting a substantial chunk of it into Facebook video advertising.
