Dark Posts?
Boosting Organic Content
PROS
■ Aggregated engagement on the
post (organic & paid)
■ Creates more activity on your fan
page
CONS

■ Messaging must be broad (an offer
for one is an offer for all)
Leveraging Dark Posts
PROS
■ Allows you to tailor messaging and creative to
a specific audience
■ Expanded creative/copy testing ability
■ More ad unit options
CONS
■ Only shown to those who you are targeting
■ Engagement lives on the ad, not on your page
■ Use your brand voice - speak to your audience, not at it
■ Keep ad copy short and punchy, include at least one CTA
■ Create copy with sense of urgency or shareability
