MenuWould you recommend facebook ads to show real estate listing to buyer persona?
We want to create custom audiences to market real estate listings to so the more we do, the bigger the audience gets. Do you think this is a good use of marketing $$$ vs. sending that traffic to a real estate related opt-in to do the marketing in email format?

Of course and have in the past.. With FB's Open graph search you can laser target buyers and weed out tire kickers.. This is a no brainer :)
Absolutely, that doesn't negate the necessity for opt-in and email marketing. Facebook ads extend the funnel. I have worked with real estate Agents this way and found it effective. Please let me know if you need any assistance and would like to arrange an online meeting to review.
Personally I'd stick to optin pages and not listing pages unless you're marketing investment property. But that's "from the hip", the only way to know is to test.
Not really..You would have to create an ad that stands very far out from the crowd...Check out Chris Record on Google...has a ebook called 350 Examples of Dark Post Ads...he does a good job of showing you some real estate ads.. What I have experienced is that you have to spend allot of money to get any ROI...just like real estate in general you have to reach this huge audience..they have to opt-in...and this occurs online with FB ads I would say at 1/10 of 1% of the people you reach. The upside can be if you spend $100's you may get a closing for $1000's... Great and unique offers are the only things that work online so I would put all my energy into creating an irresistible or very unique offer about you or your service...then spend on marketing.
I think it's a great idea, but you need to do good consumer research to figure out your real personas. If you don't, you risk segmenting down too far and not reaching a lot of your audience.
If I were you, I'd do a combo of laser-targeting and also casting your net wider to get them into that email marketing flow you talk about. Then you can see which is more effective and double down on that.
It does get you to a targeted audience, but I wouldn't expect it to work. FB from my experience hasn't proven itself.

What is the best advertising platform for generating revenue for a skincare startup (1 product offer)?
Hi There are Facebook advertising techniques that would allow you to target competitors followers, related beauty or skincare pages followers then target them with your advert going to a landing page with a buy now unmissable offer to capitalise on your conversions. Because most people do not buy first time, I would then re-target them with the offer on their Facebook newsfeed so they do not forget you, adding to your conversion. Facebook is by far the cheapest for adverts Google would be crazy prices for this type of product. You could also look at placing with affiliates and let them do all of the marketing work and your cost would be fixed, but there is a lot of competition for affiliates in this sector so maybe difficult. If done right on Facebook with a laser targeted campaign with landing page you should be looking at $0.25 to $0.30 per 1,000 views with a decent conversion making the cost per conversion very low. When you target people you know would be interested in your product it is always best to do a CPM campaign rather than a CPC as this is a waste of money, if launching this product there is no market price other than competitors products so you can show it as a high price then do a landing page with a launch offer only available for a limited time with a count down clock, even offer referral discounts if they share on Facebook. Hope this helpsMike MazzaMM

How should I structure my real estate partnership?
I've been a commercial real estate broker for 5 years now and have ventured into a handful of business partnerships - some have worked and some have nearly ruined me. What I find, on a surface level, is that you must absolutely share the same VALUES and MISSION as your potential partner. Having even stake in the game also helps, as it avoids one partner eventually grabbing "the upper hand". If you are not bringing cash or equity to the table, be prepared to demonstrate how your hard work can be translated into $ value. If you have more detailed scenarios or questions, feel free to bounce them off me at anytime. Cheers! -S.Sebastien DuvalSD

Why are my Facebook and Twitter ads delivering very low impressions?
Your interpretation of Facebook's ad platform is pretty accurate and it may not be the best fit for your purposes. This may not be the answer you're looking for, but I don't feel that traditional FB and Twitter ads offer the quality or quantity of leads you are looking for. Given that you are hyper focused on location, you want to target groups / events / organizations in your area. You are targeting small business owners so you may want to target professional networks like LinkedIn. Posting into local groups or running ads should be more successful than FB and Twitter. You are targeting business minded people while they are on a business minded network. I'm sure you are targeting ad networks because they are automated and light touch. But you may want to look at listing on websites like https://www.sharedesk.net/. Lastly, there's always a good old fashioned Craigslist post! :) If you would like to talk more about your options, feel free to give me a call. Best of luck!Bryce KaiserBK

What is the difference between #topics and precise interests when choosing audience on Facebook ads?
Topic targeting is a broad way of targeting people who've expressed interest in that topic or "related topic". It's a good option if you want to create awareness, do branding or generate likes. But when your end goal is sales/leads - it's good to go for precise interests as that's like exact match - and it ensures that you're reaching only those people which you're actually targeting - not related ones.Kumar SetuKS

What will happen if I bid lower than the recommended price for Facebook ads?
It's actually very smart to do it the way you are doing it. We do this all the time and have tested it extensively. What you want to do is to see if your ad is getting enough "reach" at the 20 cent click level. Reach is the amount of times your ad is shown. If there aren't many others bidding, you can bid pretty low and still get lots of reach. However, if your ad isn't getting shown much, you'll know that you should raise your ad price. Make sure you also test using Optimized CPM versus paying for clicks as well. Hope that helps.Phil GrahamPG
