I created an Ad on Facebook for CPC, for my fan Page. How does the daily spend work? I mean, I only want to spend $25 a day, for 3 days so in total I only want to spend $75. Now from what I read, they don't go by 24 hour periods, but calender days, so I'm just confused on how to set up 3 calender days. Sorry if this might seem like a stupid question but this is my first time posting an ad on FaceBook... I contacted their support, but no answer from them yet and I kind of wanted to run the ad tonight
Set your dally spend to $25..and set the start and end date using their calendar. its right there somewhere near where you set the daily spend
So, what do you put for the start and end time to make it it a calender day? Heres FaceBooks example: "Please note campaign charges accrue on a per calendar day basis and not on a 24 hour period. For example if your campaign is set to run from Jan. 1, 2010 9:00 am to Jan. 2, 2010 9:00 am with a daily budget of $5 you may be charged up to $10 for this campaign." So how do you set up a time for a calender day then? This is where I'm confused
I'd start with 9am at Jan 1 and end at 9pm Jan 3. Whatever timezone facebook is following, it will respect that timezone as we're setting the time and date according to that zone. So if your budget of $25 gets exhausted by 8pm (FB timezone), it will stop showing your ads. PS: According to this blog post, you can now set your own local timezone for sscheduling FB ads. Its been some time I used FB ads so I haven't used that feature yet.
Thank You So Much sar40 for the help . Went with your suggestion and it went really good. Facebook just had me so confused, with how they go by a calander day and not a 24 hour period . But I think I understand now how it works
