Hello All…
Just wondering how people are feeling about Facebook’s promoted posts option.
Good? Bad? Indifferent?

the last onei did worked great….be sure and dont put ~ friends of friends~…i did that and got hundreds of views from overseas…. which is not very likely for my page….
now i just put to friends only…… i hate paying but am willing to do 10 or 15$$ a week in promoted posts….. mostly for my very important inventory albums….since i always got some actual sales from the albums….and since now the picture posts are reaching fewer i need to reach more of my fans ……

Hello Ann…My main concern regarding promoted posts is that our community would not appreciate ‘financing’ our facebook page.
We are a high end restaurant in a tourist area, so social media is a good tool to reach out to the locals who are essentially ‘priced out’ of our venue. We run promotions geared towards bringing repeat business from our community.
Thanks for the feedback:)
Cheers!
Lynn

The issue with a true promoted post, @elle is that it goes out to all your current Fans only. You can also have it go out to friends of fans but as Ann said, the results have not been good with that option and it wouldn’t make sense to go out to non-local people.
I would probably do something different like a straight Facebook Ad that tells a little bit about your offer in the body of the ad and then segment the target audience to go to only people in your local area. Then it could be fans or non-fans who are local to you.
