You want to increase the exposure of your bar, club, restaurant or hotel, what would you do? How to improve your online presence with €100? Your first thoughts are probably to advertise on various social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram. But are Facebook ads the most effective advertisement tool? Let’s take a more in-depth look of the value you receive from investing on Facebook and what alternatives you have to increase your online presence.
How to improve your online presence with Facebook
Investing in Facebook ads can bring good results for its price. However, it could also end up quite
unsatisfactory due to the multiple variables that influence the effectiveness of your marketing
campaign.
Let’s first take a look at how to improve your online presence with Facebook. First, you can “boost
post”, which is automatically set to increase the engagements on your post (likes, shares, clicks
etc) and second, you can set-up a marketing campaign. The second option is arguably more
effective as you can influence the desired end-result. For example, if you want to generate more
ticket sales or downloads it will be more effective to set up a campaign that will reach audience
who is more likely to take action.
Another metric that determines the effectiveness of your marketing campaign is your existing
follower base. With the same budget invested, the more followers you have the bigger your reach
will be. In addition, the estimated number of people reached is also dependent on how many ads
compete for the same demographics. This factor, however, is not considered in the estimated
reach by Facebook.
Even though, Facebook provides upper and lower limits of people reached, the actual result may
not even come close to the given suggestions, while still spending your budget. You also have to
consider whether your cost per click is worth what you are trying to achieve. Keep in mind the bids
you place, largely vary depending on the geographic area in which you are trying to advertise.
Rest assured that even if you put a high bid Facebook will only charge you for the lowest possible
amount it can but there is still a lot of uncertainty as to what this amount will be due to external
factors (the input of other bidders, amount of people bidding etc).
To sum it up, while they can sometimes bring good results Facebook ads can be quite a gamble
when it comes to their effectiveness.
