Are Facebook Ads worth the investment?
Facebook and Instagram are the Daddies of Social Media – some businesses rely solely on these channels to generate customers for their business. Whether you are targeting 16 year old girls, or 60 year old men – there’s a pretty good chance they will have either an active Facebook and Instagram account.

‘Boosting’ posts is a ‘light’ option for small businesses who don’t have the skills to create proper campaigns. If you are only spending a fiver here and there, there’s no real harm in Boosting posts – but those with an increased budget should certainly be running their ads as campaigns in Ads Manager where you have better control over your Objectives, create split tests and spread your budget across multiple Ad Sets and Creatives.
