How to Run a Facebook ad for an Etsy Shop
Posted by Damian Roberti on
If you have an Etsy shop and you're looking for a way to promote it on Facebook but you're not really familiar with how to boost an actual listing or create an ad for Facebook, I'm gon na show you step-by-step right here on the computer exactly how you can run one. And we're going to hop into that right now. There's a couple, about three steps to what I'm about to do. When it comes to food, it's a little different than if you were just selling some USB drives. So what you want to do is pull up your listing on Etsy.
Now, this specific video is going to be about Etsy and promoting on Facebook and Pinterest. And I'm going to show you in a separate video exactly how you can promote your Etsy shop by promoting a pin. If you don't have a specific Facebook page set up for your food business or even your own Etsy shop, you need to create a Facebook page. I've been on Etsy since 2011, and I've sold over $100,000 worth of products. I'll actually do another video explaining how you can really, really easily and simplistically set up a page and start promoting your products.
When you hashtag certain catchphrases or certain groups of words, you'll get a lot of exposure as well. When I do promotions, if I do any Facebook ads, they're actually on there. So here it is, let me go down. There we go. Here is our page.
So now you can see it's on Etsy, right? If you're going to sell products online, be aware of the states that you sell to the most. I actually have the most chocolate pretzel rods sold in New Jersey. Men don't really click on a lot of the links, so I'm not going to waste my time trying to target men for certain food products. California, Florida, New Jersey, and New York are the four states that I get the most business from.
The more precise you are about who you're targeting, the more chances are you're going to get engagement and then sell product. So how do we narrow that down? If you're just starting out, you need to run a few ads to get some of the information. Damian: So I don't want the ad to go in so many directions that it's not associated with what I'm selling. He says he doesn't want to reach out to 40 million people because it doesn't mean they're going to buy it.
How much do you want to learn in five days? How many people is that actually reaching? 1200 to 3500 people a day. Now, if you're doing this for the first and second, the first two times, five to seven days is good. You don't need to do it for 10 days, two weeks, or 30 days.
If I sell a thousand of these and I'm reaching 3500 people a day for six days, I just made $29,000, 29 grand and I spent $25 to get those people, right. On a low end if I don't do that and I get 500 of those people then let's see that's 1500, that's about yeah, 15 grand, I guess that would be. So that's how it works, very simple, and then just hit boost. You can promote your Etsy shop on Facebook for just a fraction of what you could spend anywhere else.
