Hi Stacey,
Awesome list!
Paid social advertising is drastically on the rise. This topic is pretty challenging, but in the end, it all comes down to developing a good strategy that corresponds to your goals. As I see it, Facebook presence is crucial for any blog or website success. Just imagine how many people worldwide use it at the workplace and at home, multiple times a day.
The tool Audience Insights, for example, enables you to get to know your target audience. It provides valuable data that helps you deliver more engaging copy that relates to what users need and want.
I am not familiar with Snapchat’s advertising features, but now I am willing to give it a go.
Happy 2017 and keep up the great work!
