It’s Effective
Standard Facebook ads open a new browser window when clicked, which can take several seconds to load, often leading to users to exit the window and abandon ship. With Canvas, the ad opens immediately within Facebook, so you connect with your audience quickly and effectively.
It’s Engaging
With Canvas’ advanced visual features (video, tilt-to-view panoramic, and image carousels) you can create an interactive storytelling experience while teaching them about your brand.
It Converts
Canvas ads allow users to add product catalogues and “Buy Now” call-to-actions that can send users directly to a checkout page. Sprinkling CTA’s throughout your ad makes it easy for viewers to take the next step in the conversion process at any point during their experience. This can help ensure that users take the next step instead of dropping off before clicking through to your website.
It’s time to let your creative juices flow! Be creative and think of unique ways to get your audience interested and involved. After all, the more engaged your user, the longer they’ll click through your ad and the more likely they’ll be to click through to your website.
