With all due credit to Facebook we can now use their products ads feature, with the newer feature of the target ads. By providing this combination to your audience you can give them a very a powerful offering.
Although clicks may not seem that big of a deal, they are what essentially determine how long your prospect is most likely to stay with you. Ensuring that your prospect stays with you for months and potentially years, starts here. Those first couple of seconds of the ad give the person behind the screen the choice to either start that long-term relationship or to just leave it at that one click. The power you hold here is through the tools that you use so they are able to relate and build trust after that click.
It's been very interesting seeing how fast and powerful Facebook has become. Facebook was already known for being able to target specific audiences and now they're able to refine it even more!

Considerations for your call-to-action:
The sole purpose of the landing page is to convert website visitors into leads. It promotes an offer, asking visitors to fill out a form with their information in order to get it. Landing pages are the heart of the lead conversion process.
Landing pages work because they're based on a value exchange. You give an offer, and your visitor gives their information in order to get it.
A quick way to establish credibility and build a relationship is to offer something in your original ad that you instantly deliver in your landing page.
Considerations for your landing pages:
The logic between the connection of ads and tools is pretty straightforward. If you are able to entice a customer with an ad that promises something that indirectly links back to your products or services, then they have shown interest in you. If you want the people clicking on your ads to come back to you then it is essential that you do this. The new feature is a very smart and genius way to up Facebook's presence in the advertising world and offers companies a great way to reach their target audience. Bravo Facebook, bravo!
