to inform a gift purchase leading up to the holidays

recommendations

Page Post Link Ad Opportunity
• People click on images more than
anything else on Facebook
• Now instead of seeing a full-size
image when they click, consumers
are sent to your site
• However, many brands are still using
the old “work around” to drive web
traffic – posting a photo with a link
within the text prompt
