Their businesses revolve around Facebook posts and if the social networking site is able to provide them with quality images for free then this will boost their marketing efforts.

There are three major reasons why this particular collaboration will have a positive impact on businesses.  Firstly, unique images tend to be much more captivating then plain text.  According to data published by Marketable Media, visuals can say more than 1,000 words.

Secondly, advertisers will be able to launch multiple ads.  This feature will help advertisers able to run different promotional campaigns, capturing their audience’s attention.
