Week 11 :: Advertising Online

Marketing with Facebook ads sounds like a great way to interact with the people that ‘like’ you and/or your business.

Targeting ‘Friends of Connections’ would be perfect for my online business.

For Location I would target people in the continental US.
Demographics would be dependent on what type of campaign I was running.
For instance, if it were for acne I’d use an age range of 13 years and above. Unfortunately acne is something that can effect everyone so it wouldn’t be gender specific.
Again, for acne, likes, relationship, language and education/work wouldn’t be part of the criteria. If the ad campaign were for men’s products, then I would change the criteria, as I would if it were for anti-aging products. Each ad would be crafted to fit the dynamic of the target group.

Also, as I have mentioned before, I personally like happy birthday greetings from businesses; and I would definitely use the ads as a chance to reach out to clients with a birthday surprise!
And I would be able to use the extra communication as a way to say thank you to clients and to share their stories.

LinkedIn probably wouldn’t be a good choice for me as I am not really business to business, but I’m sure Twitter could be utilized to connect with clients.

I think I would run the campaigns monthly, much more often than that would be overkill; more often than that and I think I would lose people.


I had the April Promotion on the Facebook page and added the Mother’s Day one.
