Hello Adverts guru,

i need genuine help from those who have been there and done that.

Don't know which of the platforms to engage for my business advert - facebook or Punch newspaper?

I render accounting service and i need help to make a good decision as to how best to maximise my resources
on advert.

My budget is N10,000 for a start. I want to test the waters before i dig deep.

Useful counsel will be highly appreciated.

Regards.

The question is how much do you know about these two advertising platforms.
what is your target audience and demographic?
what would 10k get you in punch newspaper?
do you have any knowledge or experience with facebook ads?
what is your offer/advertising goal?
i have Facebook advertising experience and i can tell you that it offers way more value that any print advertising because it is laser targeted to whatever demographics that you want.
define who you want to reach out to and Facebook ads will help you get to them but you can burn your budget very quickly with facebook ads if you do not know what you are doing ..so consult someone with some experience.

for facebook ads you would require some simple catch graphics design that would show up on both desktop and mobile devices of your target audience.
punch would give you some small white and black box in one corner of a page that most people might assume is a scam ..is that what you want?

Note: if you do not know what you are doing with facebook ads, you will burn up your budget without results.

to help you make up you mind/give you some insight into what facebook ads offer, you have the following options:

Boost your posts
Promote your Page
Send people to your website
Increase conversions on your website
Get installs of your app
Increase engagement in your app
Raise attendance at your event
Get people to claim your offer
Get video views

Thank you very much.

I have a fair idea on how to use facebook ads. I've read a whole lot and watched videos but have never tried it with my money before.
I'm sure you know that they're two different things.

I've the graphics already but will laser target my audience for maximum impact. I've a website as well just that i've not renewed
my Getresponse subscription for sometime now, no thanks to the jumping dollars exchange.

Thanks for this push.

I'll get back to the forum to let you know what happened.

Cheers!

It is great that you have read alot about it. if you eventually decide to do it yourself, ensure you spend you budget in little bits...what i mean is spens about a dollar then examine the statistics/analytics and then adjust your demographics accordingly and spend the next dollar and so on and so forth.

Thanks for this suggestion, I believe you are right, the OP ( Chiderad ) needed help and i have offered some help and infact offered free consulting services. If he needs professional assistance then thats another matter entirely.

I did not want to come here marketing myself as an expert and that is why i jst offered help.
Social media advertising is like wedding planning. most times the couple spends unnecessarily. People with expoerience like me help you trim your budget and ensure you derive the appropriate turnover and result without spending all your budget. Sometimes we get results for half the budget. But i am not here to market myself and i wish the OP luck. if he feels he needs my professional assistance then sure I am available. but sometimes is better for people to try it themselves so they would learn.

By the way if i were the OP, i would not use facebook ADs or PUNCH ADS.. i would use email marketing since the service is a professional accounting service and i have access to the email of businesses in nigeria by location. That is more direct and has the highest probability of getting the best return on investment.

Regards.

Well I believe, your target audience, your niche really matter most. Of course you wouldn't want to advertise to youth and you opt for newspaper advert, how many youth out there read newspaper? ( just an example). So do properly analysis before going for any.

Thanks for your concern and i appreciate your counsel.

I engage email marketing just that this past 40 days i've not re-subscribed my Getresponse account.

I did cold calling to six businesses i saw their details online yesterday and two responded positively to me. One said i should come to her office on tuesday and the other said i should send him a mail and expect a reply on monday.

I'm going to re-read my facebook ads material and try it out this coming week. I'll start with $5 and see how it goes before investing further.

We need to connect. Looks like I need your service
How can I reach you?

you can send me an email rufwork001@gmail.com

I do not give out my business email address online because of spammers.

Oh and by the way, I just checked out you website Naija Tourist and I would advise you change the image on the homepage to a high resolution image. That would give a better first impression and add more beauty to your homepage especially considering the fact that you are specialising in the tourism niche....

Image is Everything.

You are most welcome and I respect your go-getter and autodidact approach to this. You are the living definition of Entrepreneurship. You can do email marketing using just your gmail account. Cold calling is quite expensive especially wen you consider the amount expended on the calls that did not materialize into sales/engagement.

With a regular gmail account you can send the same mail to multiple recipients at once and attach your business marketing materials if you wish. You do not have to wait for Getresponse subscription.

Regards. God bless
