The Facebook Post
 
  Facebook's new education resource for businesses
 
  We're excited to announce our new resource center, Facebook for Business. Here, you'll learn how Facebook products can be used together to grow your business and community of customers. You'll also find step-by-step best practices for creating Pages, Ads, Sponsored Stories, and more.  

 
  Reach the right customers with new targeting options
 
  ZIP code targeting allows you to target your ads and Sponsored Stories based on people's ZIP codes. When you select the U.S. as your target country in Ads Manager, you'll see "ZIP Codes" as an option alongside the "State" and "City" radio buttons. Topic targeting combines overlapping Likes and Interests to enable easier targeting. For example, the "#Lady Gaga" topic will enable you to reach people with related interests such as "Lady Gaga," "Lady Gaga Fans" and "Lady Gaga Music." Topics are available in the "Precise Interests" selection box.  


  Tips on connecting your online and offline worlds
 
  For beauty retailer Sephora and family restaurant chain Applebee's, Facebook is much more than a Web destination. Watch our latest Marketing Talks webinar for three tips on how you can connect with your business's community on Facebook every day in your store.
