Level Up Your Facebook Ads with Canva

Facebook is undoubtedly one of the most vital tools in any good social media marketing plan. Most recently, Facebook reported that upwards of 1.82 billion users log on by phone, computer, or tablet daily. Daily! 

As the number of users increases, so does advertising competition. With the average user projected to see between 6,000 to 10,000 ads per day, your brand must make a real impact within the few seconds you have. Make the most of your limited-window with impactful and memorable creatives in your Facebook ads.

The most commonly used design tool for creating Facebook ads, Photoshop, was created with professional designers in mind — making it difficult to use for some of those with less design experience. 

The good news? Engaging and creative ads don’t always require years of experience or difficult-to-use programs. One solution, particularly Canva, has been helping millions of people of all experience levels master their design skills.
