Facebook Ads for wedding venues: questions
How far ahead do couples plan?
Often 12 to 18 months.
How do I sell off-peak dates?
Special pricing campaigns.
What creative works?
Real wedding video.
How much should wedding venues spend on Facebook ads?
For most local businesses I suggest starting at roughly $1,500 to $2,000 a month in ad spend for one main offer, adjusted for your market size and customer value. Management is a separate flat fee.
Send me your website and where you are now. I will look at your account or plan personally and tell you what I would fix first, even if the answer is that Facebook Ads is not your next step.
