How much do Facebook ads cost?
Many businesses have Facebook and Instagram pages and boost posts (promote a post directly from the profile). But why doesn’t it work? Because there’s no clear plan or message for the user to take the desired action. As a result, they waste their money for no reason.
They end up spending money without any success. Yes, there’s an environment where we can run ads, called Ads Manager. The main difference is that through this environment, there are more targeting options, both demographic and types of targeting, such as phones, leads, sales, etc.
Returning to our topic, the minimum daily ad cost on Facebook and Instagram is 1 euro. This applies to all ad formats, such as images, videos, stories, and carousel ads. However, 1 euro is just the minimum amount. The actual cost of your ad will depend on factors such as:
- Advertising goals
