Purpose: Reach and Visibility
Facebookβs Awareness Objectives are designed to help your business or brand get seen by more people. This is the first stage of the marketing funnel β the βintroductionβ phase.
π― Objective 1: Brand Awareness
π§© Goal:
Get your business or product noticed by people who are likely to remember it.
βοΈ Optimized for:
- Ad recall lift: Facebook shows your ad to people most likely to remember seeing it.
πΌ Best For:
- New businesses or brands
- Product launches
- Building familiarity with your name, logo, or concept
β Example:
An online learning platform launching MSCE Form 4 courses can run a Brand Awareness campaign to introduce its brand to students and parents in Malawi.
π― Objective 2: Reach
π§© Goal:
Show your ad to the maximum number of people in your target audience.
βοΈ Key Feature:
- Frequency control: Decide how often people see your ad (e.g. once per day).
πΌ Best For:
- Promoting events (e.g. webinars, live lessons)
- Running local promotions
- Spreading information widely on a small budget
β Example:
If you’re offering free trial lessons for one week, a Reach campaign helps broadcast the offer to as many people as possible.
