Reach users in your neighborhood or all over the world using Facebook. With 800 million users worldwide, Facebook could be a great testing ground for your product offerings or messages. Whether you are a marketing executive wanting to expand your business to other countries or a martial arts school owner seeking a low-cost way to reach parents or students, you can use Facebook to reach potential customers directly.
Give the following a try, even if you are just curious about the demographics of Facebook users.
To target a specific group of users:

Example 1: We chose “By Zip Code” and entered “93711.” It shows, on the right, that 4,360 people live in the zip code. You can further refine your target by age, sex, interests, relationship status (interested in men or women, single, in a relationship, engaged, or married), language, education, or work.
Example 2: We set the country to Taiwan. There are 9.6 million Facebook users in Taiwan as of Nov. 1, 2011.
Example 3: Hong Kong. 3.3 million users.
Example 4: China. 440K users.
Example 5: Singapore. 2.1 million users.
Example 6: Suppose you want to target small business owners who use Chinese (either traditional or simplified) and live in the greater China region. According to Facebook, there are 106K of them.
