DETAILS & EXAMPLES OF ADS
Criteria for ads:
Before you start your ad, you need to decide what type of ad you want to launch (Video ad, carousel or still image ad for example)
You need to include your visual, whether a still image, video or a couple of images
Decide on what your CTA button is (Facebook provides you with a list of options. E.g. learn more, sign up etc.)
You need to include the link that you would like to direct people to (e.g. Home page, registration page, RSVP form etc.)
Spend on Ads
Typically we have spent between R500 - R2000 per ad, depending on the objective of the ad.
For most recruitment ads (where we are trying to get teachers or students to register), we spend between R1000 to R2000 per ad.
For ads where we are trying to perhaps market something/inform people about something(for example, completing the learner survey) we will spend about R500.
What has worked well:
Page Likes Ads work exceptionally well to grow a Facebook Page. It is how we started growing both Kenya + Rwanda Facebook Pages.
One of the simplest ways to measure how well an ad has worked is by looking at your cost per result.
A typical example of one ad for teachers and one ad for learners that have worked well in the past is shared below for context:
Budget for this ad: R1000
Reach: 61,159
Impression: 106,379
Cost per result: R0.23
Budget for this ad: R1000
Reach: 34,448
Impression: 55,106
Cost per result: R0.54
