You can create an audience using your list of customers who have subscribed to receive your companies emails or a list of customers who have visited your site.

You can also generate new audiences. In order to do this, it is important that you know what your targeted consumer demographics are. You can click on the Create a Saved Audience option, then you will complete the questionnaire to define your target audience.
There are many options to expand or narrow down the number of people you reach. Including options to promote your business to existing customers, old customers, and generate new customers. For example, there is the Designated Market Area which can narrow the list to only specific locations such as country, state, or even something more specific.
You can also narrow it down to things such as people who have watched videos on your page, and how long they watched them. You will also have the option to include even tracking to pages or elements of a page. It is important to note that any audience you create must have an eligible audience of at least 1,000 users on both the Facebook and Instagram platforms.
