Here's another sample of our recent news
Facebook ads generate more visibility for new client
Business owner benefits from greater visibility at lower cost
Seminole County, Fla. — June 3, 2020 – Facebook is well known for its ability to reach new prospects for businesses. But like anything else, you have to know what you’re doing – otherwise it’s like flushing money down the toilet.
Ken Countess, managing director of The Countess Group, was recently contacted by an attendee of one of his recent webinars. The business owner, who has been in business for 10 years and has a big store on Amazon, was looking to expand his reach using Facebook.
He launched a campaign on his own in April, and spent $50 to test out the campaign. With 64 clicks on his ad, that worked out to about 78 cents per click.
That’s when he contacted Ken.
He asked, “Can you help me get better results?”
Once they had a conversation to explore the prospect’s goals, Ken went to work and created several Facebook test ad campaigns for the business. The first campaign generated 33 clicks for $9.78, or 30 cents per click. The cost per click was less than half what the client was able to do on his own.
The most recent campaign generated 300 clicks at an average of 20 cents per click. The ad spend was just $60.10. That’s nearly 5 times more clicks at one fourth the cost per click the client was able to achieve.
Plus, his ad generated over 10,000 impressions, meaning the number of times they showed up on someone’s screen. That’s less than one penny per impression – or great exposure at a very low cost.
While similarly great results cannot be guaranteed for all clients, Ken and his team have the expertise to help clients get more exposure to improve their marketing results.
“We’re delighted that our client is thrilled with the results,” said Countess. “We have other case studies demonstrating how we’ve helped other clients and a Facebook Secrets webinar on our website at http://www.TheCountessGroup.com/facebook-marketing – and they’re all free to view.”
“We’re happy to provide a free consultation for prospective clients to see if there’s a fit for us to help them,” Countess said.
