Successful Facebook advertising for eCommerce: indie brands tell their stories
Facebook advertising case studies
Does Facebook Advertising really work for small businesses?
It’s hard to believe the hype when you’re not seeing the return you’d hoped for.
You know there’s potential but it’s complicated. Is Facebook advertising worth all the effort?
I’ll give you specific examples of successful Facebook advertising campaigns further down, but first – what could you gain?
Facebook advertising is a popular choice for indie retailers who want to:
1
Invest in sales growth
Brand awareness is great but money in the bank is better. Facebook advertising is direct marketing – it results in sales. And, because it’s measurable every step of the way, unlike PR or influencer marketing – it’s easy to analyse and build on.
2
Cut out the middleman
My clients use Facebook and Instagram ads to tap into the potential of their own audiences. We build sales funnels that send customers to their shops (not to third-party sellers who take control and a cut). And better still? We keep them coming back.
3
Grow strategically
When you’re in control of your own sales funnels, it’s easier to manage growth. Learn to harness Facebook advertising and grow on your own terms, at a pace that suits you.
The key thing to remember is that it takes time to develop a successful Facebook campaign strategy. You’ll need a big dollop of patience and the willingness to learn as you’re going along.
