In today’s episode, I want to share with you how to get the most out of your Facebook ads during the holiday season.
Here we are the end of October already and if you’re going to be advertising on Facebook between now and the end of the year, I want to share with you some things to consider and how to get the most out of your marketing.
This is mainly aimed at product based businesses but will also be really helpful if you’re advertising on the platform from basically now through the end of the year.
But first, I’m super pumped up to announce details for my upcoming live Facebook ads implementation workshop here in San Diego.
FBA Live is going to start on Thursday evening, December 7th with an opening night happy hour and then we’ll go Friday and Saturday, December 8th and 9th.
As I mentioned this is an implementation workshop so we’ll be actually working on your Facebook ad campaigns together over the two days and we’ll be having conversations around strategy and areas for improvement for your campaigns.
So much has changed with Facebook ads over the last two months, let alone this year and my goal is to have you walking away with things set up the right way and improvements made.
When you sign-up for the workshop, it will include access to or a large credit toward one of my training programs which you’ll need go through as much as you can prior to the event.
The reason is I want this workshop to have the biggest impact for you, so it’s not going to be for complete beginners.
If you’re already one of my students, you’re going to get a big-time discount off the cost of the event OR get to come for free.
Again, so that we can have the biggest impact on working with you, spots are going to be limited to just 40 people.

I love doing these live workshops, hanging out with you for a few days and really moving your Facebook ads and business forward.
Can’t wait to see you here in San Diego in December.
