If you are advertising your products and services using Facebook Ads, you probably are aware of the major learning curve involved in truly understanding all that Facebook has to offer. To date, Facebook has arguably the best and most accurate data warehouse on the planet. With an active daily audience reach of 1.13 billion people worldwide, it's hard to not at least consider using Facebook advertising these days.
Here are some other stats that may wow you:
- 4.5 billion Likes are generated daily
