Coming Soon updates on Facebook Offer ads

Advertisers can provide unique bar code or offer code for every claimed offer. Customise your offers to give deeper discounts to certain customers or limit the discount offer to a smaller audience than mass distribution. This can help advertisers to retarget the customers who are more likely to claim the offer and build a strong relationship with them.

Now if you have an offer, use this tool to smartly reach your potential audience which wasn’t preferred in the earlier days. Add offers to your page, share them to your target audience, track who claims and redeem them. Reminders and easier ways of claiming the offer will increase the number of people reacting to the offer given. Make it catchy, attractive and click-worthy to make conversions from potential to actual customers.
