7% of the American population has never heard of Facebook
Facebook may well be used by millions all over the world, but how many people actually click on the advertisements? Many advertisers are unable to motivate consumers to click on their adverts, despite supplying an excellent call-to-action. Shoppers want to know exactly why they should follow an advert’s call to action. Therefore, Facebook advertising is failing to be effective by not providing any additional value.
