Has anybody taken out an ad on Facebook?

Posted by andrea bernstein on February 29, 2012 at 11:53am in Web Site Reviews, Internet Marketing and Tech

I have been tossing around the idea for awhile and I am interested in your thoughts or feedback if you have placed an ad on Facebook or any other social media website.

    I have tried it twice, for a couple of months each time, in peak shopping season, and found it a waste of money.

    I advertised on Facebook for a while and found it a waste of money. You're better of with a Facebook Fan or Business Page.

    I tend to agree that you need to be up on the latest things like the social media, if not for now most likely it will be important in the future. We have a Facebook fan page, twitter and a Pinterest board. For anyone who has not yet heard of Pinterest, it is an online "cork board" where you and others can pin up photos and items of interest. Just started ours so still learning ins and outs. We have a small laminated sign in our booth with the QR codes for our website, Facebook and twitter on it for those folks with smart phones. It is also on our business cards. Have not yet done ads but who knows?

    I've taken out ads in Facebook for my photography workshops.  Hasn't booked me any business directly.  But the cost is so inconsequential that I'm going to continue to do it.  People who attend art fairs now may not be heavy Facebook users, but I'll be in the business for another 10 years at least, and at some point in time, the average show-goer will be using Facebook (or more likely, its social media successor) regularly.  I'd rather be in front of the curve than behind it.
