Conclusion

The numbers speak clearly: More and more Kiwis are using Facebook and this platform remains a critical part of any successful social media marketing strategy.

Website ranking data shows that Facebook is the third most popular site in New Zealand next to Google.co.nz and Google.com. Needless to say, more businesses are spending more, moving their budgets away from traditional advertising platforms, and increasing their social spending. Why? Because Facebook Advertising gives you the opportunity to engage at a deeper level with your target audience.

Over the years, Facebook has improved its targeting and tracking capabilities and developed an advanced analytics back-end to ensure marketers get good returns on their advertising spend. New features are constantly introduced for more laser-focused ads such as conversion lift to better measure the impact that Facebook ads have in driving businesses; and product ads to advertise the right products to the right people.
