Facebook Ads - an online advertising platform from the social media giant Facebook, Inc. provides a reliable, robust and returning online advertising platform that can help your business transform your online audience into your customers in a much convenient and faster way than other traditional and online marketing channels.

Reason # 1 Facebook is a social platform and people love being social

People connects with people on Facebook and share with them what they love and what other may also love and that's the key for your business' promotion. Facebook has opened up a new dimension in business marketing - SHARE. When your customer likes your product or service content that you have put on Facebook, s/he is compelled to share it with others and this way you get what it is also known as 'Words of Mouth' publicity. So choosing Facebook ads can surely help you get lasting words of mouth publicity for your business.
Reason # 2 Facebook is the biggest social media platform among all
Admit it, there are other social media platforms such as Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest but Facebook is the biggest of them and have largest active user base that your business can turn into customers. As of late October 2013, there were around 728 million active users on Facebook versus that of 200 million users on Twitter and that's not the end! Facebook is reporting a smart and impressive continuous growth in terms of user base over the quarters. So advertising your business on Facebook will surely get paid off.
Reason # 3 Facebook Ads offer more customized, personalized and social features
Facebook Ads offers more customized and personalized ad features that enables businesses to publish social ads that their customers (in this case Facebook users) love to see. Facebook's some of the most stunning ads features are: CPC vs CPM model: CPC stands for Cost Per Click that means you will only pay when people clicks on your ad. CPM means Cost Per 1,000 impressions that means that you will pay when people see your ad. Target Audience: This is Facebook's most useful ad tool. You can target your audience based on many criteria such as country, state/region, city, age, gender, ethnicity, interest etc. which would give you very niche and targeted audience especially for local businesses.
Reason # 4 Flexible bid options for ads
Facebook offers very flexible and custom bid options for your ads. You can choose the bid value for your ad at your own or you can also choose from Facebook's suggestions that it gives you when you are setting up your ads. While Facebook allows you to choose as low bid value as you want to set, it also recommends you an average and optimum bid value that it believes will be best for your ads. And what's more, you can anytime change the bid value during your ads lifetime.
Reason # 5 Facebook support and free ad coupon
