Try to get more fans to my page vs. trying to get sales directly?

    I'm sure this has been discussed at length before, but I got a $50 voucher for FB advertising and since I'm new to it, I was wondering what might be the best approach to trying it out.

    I have an e-commerce site and have already made a FB fan page that's has many posts over a few months, but is only 'liked' so far by my friends.

    Should I build CPC ads linking directly to my website or is it a better use of money to try to attract more friends to the fan page and go for a sale later? If the latter, should I use CPC or is it worth trying CPM?

    I'm selling consumer goods in the $300+ range so I'm never expecting a quick sale anyways.

    Thanks for any advice!
