How to market a low-budget niche fitness store on Facebook/Instagram?

[drazze]

Hello!

Have an niche store with different kind of products:

home workout equipment including weights, weight bags, bands, straps
active wear (women and man) including tops, shorts, socks, leggings

How would you start marketing this in general or on fe Facebook/Instagram with low budget (lets set roughly 10 USD per day)? At what point would you know that the ads are successfull?

Kind regards

Ads are successful or not it depends on the type of campaign you started and what's CTC/CTR of the specific campaign.

Hi @drazze, thank you for your question. You mention that you have store with different product types and a low budget to for ads to start with. Let's say we're having a small testing phase, we suggest that you should narrow down the regions you want to start testing first. You can divide them into 3 tiers: tiers 1 (popular countries, high CPC/CPA but high margins, higher intentions to buy products on your store); tier 2 (less economically stable countries, lower CPC/CPA, average to high intentions to buy) and tier 3 (developing countries, low PCC/CPA, could bring you more traffic but very few visitors will buy your products). By categorizing them, you know how to distribute your budget, we always suggest the 70-20-10 for tier 1 - 2 -3 formula. 

Also, after testing for a short time, re-check your asset and ad, ad copy, your landing page to see if you need to improve anything. Besides expected CPC, CPA that you need to have for your own, don't forget to look at the conversion rate and continuing optimizing your ads (Google/ Facebook will have suggestion along the way you run ads, they will suggest you to improve optimised score)

Hope this helps!
