The Social Ads available through Facebook are the quickest technique to use when advertising your service or product.

Your marketing may be aimed towards specific age classifications, genders, interests, or even geographical locations. This means your ad will be highly targeted to the right audience and it won't result in un-interested people clicking through and wasting your money.
