Before I go any further, a caveat: This is obviously a limited test. I’m being careful with the company credit card at this point, so I simply wanted to judge how different kinds of promotions reach people, and see how effective Facebook’s promoted posts targeting is.
Here I’ve tried a couple of different types of post and wanted to see how much bang I’d get for a small investment.
