add to your Page. Go to Edit PageAppsBrowse More Apps

Facebook Ads
Facebook’s advertising is relatively inexpensive (can start with a few bucks/day) and can be highly targeted by geography, marital status, Likes, age
Just write your text, choose an image, pick a link, set a budget and go for it
You’ll usually go for CPC versus CPM. Why? Test different creative to see what works Keep trying to beat what’s worked best

Sponsored Stories
Converting Page and website actions in to ads This works when you want to reach friends of fans Turn Post Likes into ads that display to Liker’s
friends Or turn a key Post in to a Sponsored Story and get
more mileage out of it. Will show to your Fans only. Priced like Ads Get info from Facebook Marketing Solutions Facebook recommends using this and Ads
together

The Measurement
There are Post Insights that tell you about the impressions and feedback on specific posts
Then there are Page Insights that tell you about Interactions and Users of your Page
It’s important that you look at these and learn from them to refine your activity
There are also 3rd Party apps like Tabsite that allow you to integrate Google Analytics with your Page
