Social Media experiment..

[Mikey P]

Will my ad get more interaction than my community blog post?

 

[hogjowl]

Not from my experience, but you folks are different out there. So, may be.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Yeah of course, couple things.

You already have influence in that community group, for the ad to be effective need to build up influence with the same audience over 6 months or more.

The other thing is they are in different categories, the community group will lead to sales long term but not today necessarily. The ad is sent to a homepage so how will you even know if it led to a lead/sale or not? Ultimately we should be doing both, each has completely different goals.

this is for Nevada where I drill each customer personally.


I've been running ads off and on, all year. I only see what other, a BnS, doing the same.

 

[Shane Deubell]

The thing is I bet facebook served that ad to everybody in that group and they seen both.
So which one was the deciding factor? impossible to say IMO

This is a challenge overall with digital advertising, who should we give credit to?
Not to mention van, print, email, etc. which was the one....

 

[Mikey P]

Oh for sure, I get what you're saying.

yes everyone in this valley see's my ads and my community blog posts


But how many are figuring out that my blog posts are from a dude who owns a carpet cleaning company, despite my tiny avatar.

I'll let you know in 2018.

 

[Shane Deubell]

I think you know what you're doing. That tiny avatar really adds up over time, the power of influence is something most cleaners don't get in marketing.

Notice I pin myself to get my biz location noted.

 

[Old Coastie]

I assume you ask every booking how they found you?

I went to Reno once.

It was a mutual unfavorable impression.

 

[Old Coastie]

Then you left and moved to Prattville, raising property values in both places.

 

[hogjowl]

I married a local here.

They had to accept me.

 

[Old Coastie]

Maybe they are just really nice people down that way.

My neighbors are like that, so I try to make 'em look good by comparison.

I went once too. Sad the money people throw away at those casinos. Not my kind of fun.

 

[Mikey P]

Basing your opinions on downtown is no way to judge Reno

 

[Desk Jockey]

I walked around some but couldn't get away from the shadow of the Casinos. One of the guys did take me to a mall..small mall.

It was back in the 90's I'm sure its better now. ook!

That term Jimmy uses comes to mind. A real hell hole.

 

[hogjowl]

Beats an adobe hut in the desert.

 

[Mikey P]

for you geographically challenged hillbillys, Reno is an hour north of me.

 

[Desk Jockey]

[Desk Jockey]

Best grungy little town surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery.

So on a clear night the city lights dance off your forehead?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I like Santa Cruz better.

 

[hogjowl]

You like those short little guys who live perpetually in high school, don't you?
