Facebook Offers are posts about a special discount or promotion that people can claim and bring into your store. When an Offer ad is shown to people on Facebook, they can click the Get Offer button to claim it. People have the option to share offers with their friends, which means

you’ll reach more people.

When you boost your offer, you can set your budget and the target audience for it. Track the success of your offers by seeing how many people claim them and come into your store. You can even create a

barcode for your offer so that it's easy to scan and keep track of sales.
