Ability to launch campaigns and drive conversions almost instantly, with very little lead time.
Detailed audience targeting, from age, location, and income bracket, to interests, travel habits, and other traits.
Advanced retargeting criteria to advertise to individuals who have previously interacted with your brand, both on or off that platform.

Cons of social media advertising:

The range of campaign targeting and budgeting options can be daunting, and simple mistakes can quickly prove expensive.
Can be time- and effort-intensive, especially for small businesses.
Rich analytics can be difficult to interpret and action usefully for untrained users.
Poor campaign design by inexperienced users can lead potential consumers being shown an ad too early, too late, or too frequently, resulting in ad fatigue or lost conversions.
