What you need to understand, is that advertising in social media will not accomplish the same purposes that you’re trying to accomplish using traditional online advertising channels such as PPC on search engines.
Search engine pay-per-click ads are extremely targeted. A person searching for “mahogany pool cues in Detroit” will be very likely to buy from you if you happen to carry such in item within that region.

This is not necessarily the case for social media.
When someone clicks your ad on Facebook, they aren’t necessarily in a mood to buy anything. They are simply in “Browsing Mode”. When you lower than to your site, you’re likely to spark awareness about your brand… but not much else.
However, social media does have one major advantage over PPC marketing on search engines. It’s an excellent media for community-building. If you can write an ad that will convince someone to interact with your company on Facebook, it will spark an alert that will advise all of their friends within their immediate social network about this person’s interest in your company.
This is excellent word of mouth for your company.

These types of campaigns are great for building long-term customer relationships while generating buzz about your brand.
If your company is willing to be flexible about the types of conversions that it values and in the way it tracks its sales funnel, social Media Advertising can have much to offer for you and your business.
