  The bandwidth of the target audience for e-commerce businesses is broad. Most of which are fascinated by affordable products. But, handmade clothes are competitively costly. It was essential to find an audience that prioritizes quality over affordability. We emphasized attributes such as the audience demographics and interests to have a detailed understanding of the potential business prospects.

  One of the most daunting tasks was to determine the right keywords. The right keyword must enable the ad access to the potential audience and should be affordable to support Facebook paid marketing. We utilized tools to find the most appropriate keywords to excel the Facebook marketing campaign. It includes tools like Facebook ad library to go through competitor ads to understand the marketing strategy they used and the interests they targeted.

  Another essentiality was to choose the right campaign to get the most out of the Facebook paid marketing. After understanding the client business model, we decided to run a Brand Awareness campaign to understand consumer preferences.

• 6. Monitoring and Improving the Campaign

  Monitoring the live campaign was difficult. We tracked the presence of the ads on essential keywords and worked to eliminate negative keywords to ensure the success of the Facebook marketing campaign. Several established competitors were targeting the keywords we focused on, which required us to improve the quality of the ads to stand out from the competitors and excel in the marketing campaign.

• 7. Managing the Campaign Budget and the Bid Amount
