While Facebook and Instagram have robust targeting and keep prices low because of how vast their user base is, keep in mind that your efforts should not be siloed to one platform. If you have the budget, diversify so that you can reap the aforementioned benefits across platforms in case something does happen.
To identify which platforms are right for you, you can learn about the most popular social media marketing platforms here.
Facebook is notorious for having a clunky advertising interface that will oftentimes throw invalid errors, disable without reason, and glitch. If they go down, as sometimes they do, we don’t want to be left out in the cold as brands and to depend on one network to drive new users into our funnels and to later retreat them to entice a conversion. Keep that in mind and take these benefits to heart in an effort to expand into other platforms.
