The new Facebook ads that underwent their initial testing phase
through Thailand and Australia, have as of now been expanded to be
available globally to add 2 billion plus Facebook users on messenger
app.
The
Messenger ads are now displayed in each Facebook user’s inbox, and based
on the actual number of threads that user has, the phones actual screen
size and the pixel density of the display.
Each
messenger ad comes with a ‘sponsored’ label in the home tab of the
Messenger app. Their formatted structure is that it appears as a typical news-feed ad, including the headline, copy, image, and calls to action.
This
ad is a portal to take the reader to any designated landing page for
example on the website of the business where specially designed offers
and promotions await the incoming Facebook user.
If you receive a
Messenger ad, at this stage there is no way to permanently turn off ads,
however there is a downward arrow in the bottom right of the ad that
provides options where the user can hide the ad or report sender to
Facebook.
These Facebook Messenger ads now offer a greater ability to reach this vast audience globally.
AS always given Facebook’s in-depth user demographic information, all
marketers should revisit who their target audience is and in so doing
refine the demographics of the group for better targeting.
So until next time, good luck and good marketing.
