Most of the business companies use Facebook for marketing and it is beneficial for their business because of multiple reasons. These ads have better reach, they are affordable, cheaper and the marketer has complete freedom of selecting the audience. While customizing the audience, Facebook provides an estimation of the reach according to the budget whoever, this feature was disconnected about a year ago because of some vulnerability that was discovered in the tool.
After one year, Facebook has finally announced that they are going to reinstall the reach estimation feature for the custom audience. According to the director of the project management at Facebook, this feature was discontinued because it was detected as a threat to the users' privacy. However, after working on solving the issues and addressing the problem, Facebook has finally decided to reinstall this feature.
Since this feature will be reinstalled, the marketers will be able to determine the campaign size according to the budget and bid according to the size and audience. This will make the work easier for advertisers and help them save time and effort. This decision of bringing back the reach estimation was taken because multiple markets had complained that the absence of these features is convincing them to download third-party apps to help them estimate the audience reach. This means that they were putting the privacy at risk, so Facebook had to quickly resolve the issues so the users don’t have to use any third-party app for this feature.
Facebook has not only addressed the vulnerability in the feature but has also increased its complexity but also increased its precision. The back-end has also been improved which will help in saving the features from any malicious overuse and misuse. For the market, this is good news because with the help of this feature they can plan their budget and build a strategy to make their marketing procedure more accurate without putting their important data at risk of misuse. However, for the third party apps that had been providing the estimation of reach in the past, this might not be good news.
