Last month, Facebook released its most recent marketing tool, “Lead Ads”. Basically, Facebook Lead Ads allows any advertiser to generate leads over their Facebook advertisement campaigns. Today, leads are crucial about the future of your business. The number of quality leads you have in your database define the success rate of your business. Generating high quality leads for your business is expensive. Reaching the right buyer pesona, getting their attraction and encouraging them to share their contact information with you is difficult and expensive.
But Facebook Lead Ads comes into the play at this point. The lead acquisition costs are cheaper compared to other marketing channels. And most importantly, the lead data you collect is 99% accurate.
