- Free Money Transfers on Facebook
If you’re friends with someone on Facebook and have Facebook’s Messenger app, you can transfer money with any active debit card. All you have to do is click the dollar sign in the Messenger app.
Right now, this feature is only available in the United States, and it is required that you are friends with the person on Facebook.
- Saved Replies
Ever have a lot of customers ask your business the same questions on Facebook? Now, you no longer have to type out a new reply whenever someone messages your business’s Facebook page!
All you have to do is go to the Messages area of your page, and click on a message. When the message pops up, click Manage Replies. There, you can create a new reply, or just click on a reply you’ve already created to send it as a message reply.
This super easy feature is one of the best new Facebook features to come along in quite a while!
- Lead Ads
Everyone gets tired of filling out long forms on the Internet. This applies to business owners as well. Facebook Lead Ads make it much easier for customers to share their information with you without having to exit the app. It also stores their information so they don’t have to manually enter their information every time they wish to share it.
Although Facebook is currently beta testing this service with a very small amount of businesses worldwide, be on the lookout for one of the coolest and convenient new Facebook features to come!
- Upgraded Facebook Custom Audience and Conversion Tracking Pixel
Ever wanted to see which of your Facebook ads is the most effective at driving people to your business’s official website so you can know which ads to keep? Then use Facebook’s Conversion Tracking by creating and adding a Tracking Pixel to your website and to your Facebook ads!
This feature lets you know how well the ads you buy on Facebook are attracting traffic and potential customers to your business’s website.
You can also create Custom Audiences so that you know your business is being marketed to people who you know are interested in your services, avoiding those who are not in your target demographic.
Facebook’s new upgraded Pixels allow you to do both of these with just one Pixel, rather than two separate ones. Do note that this upgrade is not available to everyone quite yet, but be sure to keep your eyes peeled for updates!
Lead Ads and the upgraded Custom Audience Pixel aren’t quite open to everyone at the moment. However, just knowing about them can help you get a jumpstart on the competition. (In the meantime, you can click here to go to Facebook for Business’s page for updates.)
So there you have it, 5 new Facebook features to help you market your business to potential clients. Now go out and sign up for these awesome features and gain an advantage over the competition!
