[spacer height=”20px”]In case you didn’t know, Facebook is still the most effective outreach and marketing platform ever created.
[spacer height=”20px”]With over 2.32 billion monthly active users, it’s pretty easy to understand how hundreds (if not thousands) of your ideal customers spend time on the platform every day.
[spacer height=”20px”]But don’t think you can just hit the “Boost Post” button and expect to start raking in the dough…
[spacer height=”20px”]For local businesses to tap into the real power of Facebook, they don’t need to go broad. They need to go narrow!
[spacer height=”20px”]I created this case study to show you exactly how to do that.
[spacer height=”20px”]You are about to learn how we turned $4,822 in Facebook Ads into over $16,000 in sales from 18 new-client sign-ups in 90 days AND how we built our client a revenue-generating machine for years to come.
[spacer height=”20px”]This client sells off-market motivated seller leads to real estate investors and realtors and wants to get more real estate investors as clients.
[spacer height=”20px”]Now, these are not cheap leads. They are quality leads–people actively looking to sell their home ASAP.
[spacer height=”20px”]To keep providing their current and future clients these types of leads going forward, they knew they would need help to find more investors and realtors to sign-up. That’s where we come in!
[spacer height=”20px”]Here’s how we did it…
Most service-based businesses (and local businesses in general) tend to shout “BUY BUY BUY” in their advertising campaigns.
[spacer height=”20px”]That’ just lame…People hate being sold to (Seriously, think about it. Do you like being sold to?).
[spacer height=”20px”]Humans like to come to our own decisions and on our own terms. It has to be our idea, duh!
[spacer height=”20px”]That is where all of your content comes into play.
[spacer height=”20px”]Luckily, we had already been creating a lot of high-quality content and resources for this client.
[spacer height=”20px”]We had a little bit of everything:

[spacer height=”20px”]Call To Action Button: Request Time
[spacer height=”20px”]Take note that we’re incentivizing people to request time for an appointment by focusing on a traditional pain-point of real estate investors: finding qualified off-market motivated sellers.
[spacer height=”20px”]Even though every one of these leads won’t close, this service can allow real estate investors to focus on closing deals instead of figuring out a way to get a consistent flow of leads to turn into booked appointments and eventually closed deals.

It’s funny…Before I heard that my client had done over $16K in revenue from that campaign, I just had a feeling this campaign was going to crush it.
[spacer height=”20px”]Why?
[spacer height=”20px”]Well, I didn’t hear from that client for over a week, which typically means they are busy following-up with leads and onboarding new clients.
[spacer height=”20px”]So, when they finally had a chance to breathe, I called up the owner of the company, and he told me I needed to shut off the campaign until he could bring on some full-time sales reps.
[spacer height=”20px”]This wasn’t the first time a client has told me this, and it is the ultimate compliment a campaign can receive.
[spacer height=”20px”]But I didn’t care about how many leads we generated. I wanted to know how much revenue our leads generated.
[spacer height=”20px”]So, I had the owner pull the leads and sales for all new clients since we started the campaign. We then calculated the cost per lead and cost to acquire a new client. Here were the totals:
[spacer height=”20px”]
[spacer height=”20px”]
[spacer height=”20px”]That $16,730 of sales is only from new clients from the first 3 months of the campaign (May 14th – August 31st)!
[spacer height=”20px”]You’re probably wondering: How did you confirm that customers were actually coming from Facebook?
[spacer height=”20px”]Excellent question!
[spacer height=”20px”]For this client, there are 3 old-fashioned ways we measure ROI:[spacer height=”20px”]
[spacer height=”20px”]Another way we measure the ROI of campaigns that have sales occurring offline is to use Facebook’s Offline Events feature.
[spacer height=”20px”]You can call us paranoid (we prefer thorough 😅), but we wanted to make sure we got the most accurate numbers possible for our client using a little technology.
[spacer height=”20px”]Facebook has 17 unique characteristics of users you can upload to match-up your offline sales to your campaigns.
[spacer height=”20px”]You only have to upload the name, email/phone number, and date the transaction occurred at a minimum. But the more characteristics you have, such as sales price, billing address, and customer IDs, the higher match rate you will have.
[spacer height=”20px”]Facebook knows the exact users it shows its ads to, what users clicked on those ads, and any other associated actions we all take in addition to our profile information.
[spacer height=”20px”]All users must enter an email and phone number to verify their account when signing up, so Facebook uses the sales data we upload and cross-reference it with its treasure trove of data.
[spacer height=”20px”]Facebook will then attribute sales that occur within 28 days of viewing or clicking an ad to campaigns.
Even if you don’t sell motivated seller leads, I’m confident the framework that I laid out here can help almost any service-based business and other local, brick-and-mortar business.
[spacer height=”20px”]Restaurants, bars, gyms, barber shops, clothing retailers, doctor’s offices, chiropractors, plastic surgeons, and everyone in between!
[spacer height=”20px”]Here’s how you can apply these strategies in your business:[spacer height=”20px”]
[spacer height=”20px”]Alright, let’s wrap this up!
