Simple words is highly recommended to use, your customers want to know what product you are selling actually is, the words or the simple image display will help them to understand it.

In this case I took 3 sample images with words that could explain the intent simpel they want to convey. For instance the first picture belongs to general mills would give its brand slogan on the front cover of his Facebook, while the second and the third is belonging tango and chips ahoy have the same type of advertising that is introducing its new product can be placed in the front cover like the tango but could also be placed in the post like yours chips ahoy.
