As a reminder, a sponsored post is an ad created using a post on your Facebook Business Page. If you want your organic post to get more exposure on your Page and reach a new and/or larger audience, you can promote or promote your post.
Your message will be seen by more people. This can help increase direct brand awareness and user engagement, as well as indirectly impact website traffic when links and potentially conversions occur.

they include:
- contact list : These are customers and contacts downloaded from your CRM system or your mailing lists;

use video
