Are these good initial stats for a Facebook Ad?

16 replies
Hi all,

As many of you know, I'm working on T-shirt's that's I've been pushing on my Facebook page, where the T-shirt's are available from Teespring.

I've designed my ad and I've set the daily price to £10. I narrowed down the niche to around 50,000-60,000.

The ad has been up for 8 hours, I've had an increase from 16 shares (my number of shares where I'd purely been promoting it oh my Facebook page) to 57. I have had one like to the actual facebook page but no likes on my facebook page, obviously I chose it so that it purely sent people to the Testing site.

Is this good? 8 website clicks and an increase in 41 shares in 8 hours.

I haven't got a bloody clue if that's good or not. No sales yet.

Let me know what you guys think as this is my first ad.

Cost per website click is £0.50. Total reach 1,229. Frequency 1.01.

Ad has been set to a 3 day limit.

Thanks.

    No sales? If you are trying to sell stuff, I'd think these stats are poor.

      Hi Wolfmmiii,

      Hmm... No sales but 15 clicks...

      The advert itself takes you to the following page. Could it be a design issue? My niche is gamers - for this one it's specifically retro gamers.

        Not nearly enough data to draw conclusions yet but not off to a good start.

          What can I do at this point? Do you have any advice of some kind? Or not.

            Give it a bit more time and see how things go. Could just be the design - could be the target audience. Since I don't know anything about ur audience targeting, it's hard to make any concrete suggestions.

                Ages? Locations? Buying History? A 13 year old isn't going to be buying anything online.

                If you are targeting retro gamers who have money to spend and are still doing poorly, I'd suggest the design is poor or the ad itself isn't compelling enough.

                  Ok so this is my ad:

                  View image: gamead

                  I am targetting men purely in the UK between the age 20 and 31. Interests are C++ and Video Games. Behaviours = Played game in the last 7 days.

                  Do you think I can improve the Ad? I don't think there is an issue with design...

                  Thanks,
                  Sushi

                    A couple things:

                    Firstly, that's a pretty damn cool shirt in my opinion.

                    Secondly, when you're targeting people who like C++ AND Video games, you're targeting both audiences separately, not people who like both.

                    Thirdly, VERY smart using the behaviors filter. That's something not too many people take advantage of when it comes to FB ads.

                    Lastly, your ad is very loud and messy to me. I'd get rid of the thick border - it's been done too much and people are almost blind to it. Consider doing a cleaner ad and see if that helps.

                    The good news in my opinion? The design IS NOT the problem!

                    I think your targeting should be refined a bit though.

                    I'd personally evaluate a more targeted approach. Instead of JUST video games. Why not whittle that down a little more?

                    In my opinion. Most people who like or are interested in C++ will probably have a decent computer - therefore I'd assume most of them would be PC Gamers.

                    But since you're graphic has a console-esque controller on it, maybe target specific game systems.

                    Don't forget to segment by age. If you're targeting 21-30, you might as well segment it into two adsets (21-24 and 25-34) That way you get the most benefit by splitting up your ads between two audiences and covering the demographic faster.

                    Someone said to expect your cost per click under .05 cents. While they are right when it comes to ENGAGEMENT your cost per WEBSITE click will always be higher than an engagement click. I try to keep my cost per website click under 50 cents myself. But it all boils down to how the campaign is converting.

                    Hope this helps!

    I think your Facebook ad is not performing well. You need to aim for $0.01 to $0.05 cost per click to make your campaign profitable. The secret to a successful Teespring campaign is sending massive amount of traffic at the cheapest cost possible. Did you create multiple ads for this campaign? You should start with at least 5 ads, then optimize these ads for every $5 to $10 spent on ads.

    try to target different interests. some interests will cost you lesser per click. you can check the cpc based on the interests while creating the ad itself.

    Cost per click is 25 times to high

    Are you sure your targeting is correct ?

    1229 people where presented with your ad and only 8 people clicked it.
    Thats not so good. Its a .6% conversion rate. I do a lot of Facebook ads and I am unhappy with any ad that is less than 2%
