Like many social media platforms, you can have great content, but advertising is the driver and will help you reach a broader audience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>With channels like TikTok and Instagram grabbing the attention of younger audiences, it can be tempting to forget about Facebook. While a strategic marketing approach will ensure you target the right audience on the right platform, there are several reasons why Facebook still makes a great marketing tool.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><h4>#1. Cost-effective advertising\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4><p>Facebook advertising is ideal for small businesses and organisations with a tight marketing budget because it is very cost-effective compared to other online advertising platforms. You can advertise on Facebook for as little as $3 a day and still get good reach. Maintaining a strong organic strategy alongside your paid marketing is important, because you may appear inactive to your audience if you don&#8217;t\u202fpost\u202fenough. However, you can successfully run Facebook advertising without any organic activity. Boosting high-performing posts is an effective strategy for businesses with a limited marketing budget.\u00a0<\/p><h4>#2. Disposable Income\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4><p>New Zealand had <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/reports\/digital-2024-new-zealand\">3.30 million Facebook users<\/a> in early 2024 and still has the largest group of users between the ages of 25 \u2013 44 with <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/reports\/digital-2024-new-zealand\">52%<\/a> of them being female. While these numbers indicate the average Facebook user is older than on other social media platforms, older audiences tend to be in a more mature life stage, which means, they potentially have more disposable income.\u00a0 This is important because they are more likely to make purchasing decisions, which is important for your business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0460d64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0460d64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-36711\" alt=\"Pink piggy bank next to stacked coins\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.nzie.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ebook-2.jpg 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ce31ff0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ce31ff0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-31159c7\" data-id=\"31159c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74b5162 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"74b5162\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0In short, Facebook is still a relevant marketing platform, and we do recommend keeping it as part of your marketing strategy. While it can be tempting to overlook it because of low engagement, it is still worthwhile staying active on Facebook \u2013 even if it\u2019s just maintaining a presence.
