Facebook Boosting

Hey everyone, I'm probably on the wrong side of the forum but I need some help/advise.


I have a legitimate business (Hair Salon) in which I boosts out our sales and advertisements. We currently reach over 1k per post. This might not sound like a lot but it's a target area and the age range of 18-65+. The problem i'm having is these posts are only getting about 20 likes per 1k posts. And for some reason all of my advertising (over 80%) is reaching an audience of 65+. Any experts want to help me figure out whats going on?

You shouldn't be using the boost button - you need to be using Facebook Ads Manager (https://www.facebook.com/ads/manager/) and creating custom campaigns.

I spend roughly $7-$10 per day at $0.005-$0.001 per engagement reaching 5k-8k targeted audience.

Here's an example of one of my campaigns from yesterday:

There's nothing really special I'm doing - I research my target audience - select the right demographics/interests - create a good ad post - and let the ads roll.

Also you have the right idea about inviting after people like your post - a great way to grow.

If you would like to discuss 'additional help' setting up your service you can pm me but I highly advise trying out setting up your campaigns through Facebook Ads Manager.

Okay - i did a reach campaign, but I got a feeling I want an engagment campaign. There is no likes going on with this campaign so it's hard to see what I get out of this. Also, it didn't actually post anything to my page so I just did it myself.

I suggest to you, to start first likes campaings, get as many likes in your fanpage, then instead of boosting your ads promote your products
