The Prime Time Anytime program by Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) may sound like a nod to traditional prime time TV. In reality it’s a new resource center with informative articles and even video tutorials. The resource center provides marketing insights and solutions to help businesses understand concepts in digital advertising for building their brand and more effective campaigns.
Facebook has outlined four areas so businesses can better understand marketing insights and strategies. They are learning creative best practices, optimizing ad delivery, growing cross-channel marketing and improving video performance.

Facebook even outperforms traditional advertising such as newspapers and radio for many small businesses. Being proficient in how your ads perform on this and other social media platforms could be important for your small business’s growth now and into the future.
