Facebook and Location Targeting

Location Targeting is an innovative tool that allows you to showcase your ads to a group of people in a specific area. If you know that a lot of your visitors come from one part of the world or from one state in the country, you can target your ads to that demographic. Location targets can be selected by country, state, zip codes in the United States, post codes across the globe and even by congressional districts. In fact, location targets can be combined in order to select the exact right group of people in order to meet your needs. This means that you are only investing resources where they count.

This is ideal if you are looking to increase your last-minute bookings by attracting customers who have already arrived at your destination.

You can select a traveler target in order to capture this unique and ever-changing audience. It should be noted though that only customers who have enabled the location feature on their tablet or smartphone.

In addition to investing in Facebook ads, you also should consider promoting your business Facebook page to clients who have booked your tours. Your advertisements can complement your profile on the site, and you will be maximizing your use of this powerful social networking tool.
