Facebook has recently launched a feature that lets you upload your customer list and then market just to those people in the Facebook platform. This is a huge opportunity to reach out to your current customer list or even your prospect list and introduce them to new areas of your funnel.
Top new Facebook Ads tip: Using Custom Audiences
You simply go to the Facebook ads section and then click on the Power Editor.
You Must Use The Chrome Browser To Use The Power Editor
Don’t let the name fool you. It’s really simple to use and has an intuitive interface. Just click on the button like the one above on the left side menu.
Once you are in the Power Editor (You may need to update Chrome) simply click on the Custom Audiences tab.
