Facebook Advertising Results in 2016?

If you want real exposure and can afford it you need to spend more. I would test test and test again. I spend between 250 and 600 a month on Facebook.

Update: Spent $297.21, generated $1,550.00 USD so far and several ā€œCome see me in the springā€ requests.

Also received a request for multiple services from an institutional account before I started using paid ads. They need to go through numerous bureaucratic processes before they can take action on my bids.

Running a 3 pic slide show for the first time this week.

Wow. You sound like Keith. Maybe Iā€™ll get to that level one day. Iā€™m still grasping this concept as Iā€™m from the old school form of advertising hitting the pavement. But, none the less,I see the value in it as I approach the marketing part. Josh has been a big influence on me. Send Jim. So far Iā€™m only spending$100 and already made $1700 dollars just within 3months of starting it.

What level of service are you getting for your sendjim purchase? I am very interested in getting some crm stuff. I am finding that I havenā€™t been very effective with crm.

Iā€™ve been just talking to him so far over the phone, through email,and Facebook. Itā€™s focused more on Residentail which is something I lack right now. Most of my business is commercial,store fronts,restaurants. From my little bit of advertising the last 3months Iā€™ve got 4 Residentail clients alone but due to commercial have a few more than that. But,I see the value in it and when you get overwhelmed thatā€™s when he comes in to play. He keeps the ball rolling on clients you forget or those who are valued and then the reminders and thank you comes into play with gifts postcards ect.automatically. Itā€™s a little pricy from what I heard but better than giving it to advertisers.

That is an excellent point. I know that spending money on advertisments and marketing is an unavoidable cost of doing business but I really donā€™t like seeing my money spent on just ink on pieces of paper or digital bytes. Your point is making it easier for me to accept spending money on crm stuff.

CRM stuff? Like the customer factor? The customer factor does not cost ,it pays. Buy it and use it. Your bank account will thank you. The same goes for send Jim but this is less direct an more for long term relationships with custies.

seems some are spending a small fortune on facebook ads, but are the returns diminishing? thats what happened to me [altho i only spent a little ] i reverted to plugging away on the local buy n sell group pages. the cost is nothing apart from the time spent thinking of different angles to catch somebodys eye . recently iv been planning my 2017 campaign,gathering my ideas on scraps of paper and collating them. i plan to post a free ad targetting an area of town about a week prior to my arrival in this area .but now im going to include some copy/point of interest [such as image of a local statue/dignitary/sports team/] to enhance each post

My FB ad got me a $520 carpet cleaning job for this Saturday!
This is significant because: it is a new client, is in the next community with a sizable population that I will expand services to next year, the job will be in a big mall and because the new client also wants resi WC next spring and fall (the previous WCer never showed up for the Fall cleaning).
