2] Then we will go through Facebook's Targeting options. Facebook Adverts are shown to people based on their location, age, interests and more. Most online advertising relies on "cookies" to decide which adverts to show on different sites. On Facebook, your adverts are delivered more accurately to the audiences you choose. Facebook has very powerful audience selection tools which allows you to target the people who are right for your business. Using what you know about your customers, such as demographics, interests and behaviours, you can connect with people similar to them. There are three options for choosing your audience on Facebook: Core audiences, Lookalike audiences and Custom audiences

Core Audience: Select your audience manually based on characteristics, such as age and location.

Custom Audiences: Upload your contact list to connect with your customers on Facebook.

Lookalike Audiences: Use your customer information to find people similar to them on Facebook. Go through these learning modules to prepare for class discussion
