Something really cool is now available for all of us thanks to Facebook’s offline events tool!
Some of you might be wondering, what on earth are offline event conversions?
Offline events is a Facebook tool that allows you to upload an offline purchase file, such as customer details and products they purchased. Facebook will then match it up to anyone that saw your client’s Facebook Ad while they were online. If one of the customers that bought your client’s product in store saw your Ad, Facebook will let you know. How cool is that?
