Free $100 Advertising Credit On Facebook
I read, over at the Red Fly Marketing Blog, that you can get a $100 advertising credit on Facebook courtesy of Visa. As part of a Visa promotion, they are offering Facebook users a $100 credit to try out the Facebook advertising platform. All you need to do is to add the Visa Business Network App and you get a coupon code and instruction on how to add the credit to your account.
Now I have never advertised on Facebook or MySpace before, but I would imagine that the conversions are pretty bad. I don’t think that many people would be looking at or clicking on any banner ads. People are just too engaged in their social networks. I know that I completely tune out all ads when I am on MySpace. But, anyways, this is a good chance to test the waters!
Of course the volume and CTR will never even be close to search and users actively searching but there is still come value, even if it’s just for branding.
Thanks for the mention too!
No problem Dave, I am a big fan of your blog. I send your posts to my employees too. And I would not have known about this deal had it not been for your blog.
I work with a guy, Steve Peron (imnotadoctor), who blogged about this and he also says that he partied with you in Ocean Beach, Ca before! Small world.
Thanks a million. Yea, Steve and I only realized that after I got back to Ireland. I was over there on a J1 Visa (party visa). It was a complete coincidence we linked the two. I Was living up on Santa Cruz Ave. I really miss it.
Anyway, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. I have subscribed to your blog too!
Hi,
Is this possible to redeem visa network coupon on same account twice? Offcr different coupon codes.
Thanks
Naqi,
Hmmm, I am not sure. I never thought of trying that. You might have to mask your IP in order for that to work but it seems like it would if you could anonymize your IP through a proxy or something!
I run targeted facebook ads and I also think it works perfectly. I love that it really narrows down your search parameters.
