As a redhead, I&#8217;m not built for summer and would personally prefer the winter&#8230; but that&#8217;s beside the point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">We mostly relate this term to the four, or even two seasons we experience here on our home planet of earth\u2026 but there are other areas where this word becomes relevant, and one of those realms is Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4509\" title=\"Facebook real estate lead generation\" src=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/bright-countryside-dawn-302804.jpg\" alt=\"Facebook Real Estate Lead Generation\" width=\"1030\" height=\"571\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No, we\u2019re not saying that Facebook goes through weather seasons\u2026 however, we are saying that it goes through changes, much like our environment does throughout the year. These changes bring us all a little bit of frustration at times, as well as ease and content.<\/p>\n<p>To help you understand these a little better, we&#8217;ve taken the time to break some of these seasonality changes down, to help you understand what they mean.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break those down a little because <a title=\"Facebook Marketing Strategy for Real Estate Agents\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/products\/realtor\/lead-magnet\/facebook-strategy\">Facebook seasonality<\/a> isn\u2019t the easiest topic to be knowledged in\u2026 which is why StreetText is here to help you.<\/p>\n<h3>The Breakdown:<\/h3>\n<p>Ironically, the best way to describe Facebook seasonality is through weather seasons.<\/p>\n<p>When the holidays roll around, <a title=\"Facebook Ads\" href=\"http:\/\/streettext.com\">Facebook ads<\/a> becomes a little more competitive. Yes, we literally mean that your ads are competing with the big stores around that time of year. Macey\u2019s, Target, Apple and everything in between. All of these big corporations will have hundreds of thousands, if not, millions of dollars to put towards their holiday ad budget so you see their products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4511\" title=\"Facebook Ads\" src=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/2000px-Macys_logo.svg_.png\" alt=\"Facebook Ads\" width=\"777\" height=\"410\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Now, since you\u2019re not a big corporation (that we know of)&#8230; you\u2019ll absolutely have a hard time competing with these kinds of budgets. This is the first component of seasonality. The hard truth of the matter is that people are going to outspend you around certain times of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Now, your next question might be \u201cwell why don\u2019t I just up my budget a little to compensate?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Unless you can cough up enough to beat the holiday competitors, there no reason to do this, as it won\u2019t help. Seasonality is just something we all have to endure and let pass. Soon enough, things will mellow out, and return back to normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Not only will seasonality affect your ads around Christmas, Thanksgiving, and around days like Black Friday\u2026 it will also be affected around times of the year such as Spring Break, and Summer vacation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Think of all the different daycare advertisements out there for working families with kids, or even spring break holiday deals for the college student in all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">It&#8217;s natural to want to make a change or turn off your ads during these times but we recommend pushing through the slower seasons so your ad can keep its relevancy, and continue to build momentum. You will also stay ahead of your competitor this way as they too will have a natural instinct to slow down their advertising based on the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Just a friendly reminder that the next time things slow down for you, remember there are many factors that come into play &#8211; and not to be concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1ko4v0zTcFA\">following video<\/a>, and learn how to handle Facebook Seasonality &#8211; and allow it to benefit your business!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1519\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/demo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Button-BookDemo.png\" alt=\"Book a Demo to See StreetText - Lead Magnet\" width=\"260\" height=\"91\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Book a Demo to See StreetText &#8211; Lead Magnet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 600; font-style: inherit;\">Other Interesting Blog Posts:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\"><a title=\"facebook real estate ads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/products\/realtor\/lead-magnet\/facebook-strategy\">Facebook Real Estate Ads<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Find buyers and sellers with Facebook ads<\/span><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"real estate leads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-capture-good-real-estate-leads-online\">Real Estate Leads Generator<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">How to capture real estate leads\u00a0online today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"facebook real estate leads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-generate-inquiries-facebook-farming-part-2\">Facebook Real Estate Leads<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">How to generate inquiries with Facebook farming<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a title=\"facebook real estate advertising\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/hub\/real-estate\/how-to-generate-inquiries-facebook-farming-part-3\">Facebook Real Estate Advertising<\/a><br \/>\n70% of all home buyers and sellers work with the first Realtor they meet<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #666666;\"><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #3b8dbd;\" title=\"facebook real estate ads\" href=\"https:\/\/streettext.com\/products\/realtor\/lead-magnet\/facebook-strategy\">Facebook Real Estate Ads<br \/>\n<\/a><em style=\"font-weight: inherit;\">Generate Ongoing Facebook Leads<br \/>\nIntroducing you to the proven strategy that will grow your business<\/em><\/p>\n<p>StreetText<br \/>\n<a title=\"Facebook Ads\" href=\"http:\/\/streettext.com\">Facebook Ads<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seasonality.
