If you had $200 for Marketing...

[Spikeroo]

So I've been using Google Adwords for traffic to my ecommerce site, and its been successful, but I'm hungry for more. Just curious for the experienced people with online marketing/ecommerce, if you had $200 to invest in marketing/advertising for your website where would you invest it? For example you could pay for promotions on Facebook, or features on instagram, even use fiverr.

I plan on investing more into my advertising for my site, but I want to make sure I'm using the best method.
Thanks!

Wherever my target customer is

I run Boraskins.com. Selling protective skins for devices, so my target customer is pretty broad. Anyone with a phone.

You should get more targeted. Sure anyone with a smartphone could be a customer, but a 21 year old is more likely to buy from you than a 60 year old.

I would try targeted facebook ads towards different age groups, genders, interests, etc to find out who converts the most. Then target ads at them.

Just my 2 cents.

Yes, everyone has a smartphone, but does every smartphone have the same person?

People are unique, and your skins should represent something of their lifestyle. Put some emotion in your product.

Here are two Instagram accounts that are in your niche. When you look at their pages, what do you feel?

https://www.instagram.com/peelhq/

I'll give you a hint, one has a sense of luxury and the other has a sense of adventure.

So what do they have in common? Instead of looking as a phone case as a phone case (which is boring as F*ck) they are able to represent their product in a way to make you feel a certain way toward their product, rather than looking at it for what it is (a boring a$$ phone case).

Good luck and please don't buy followers with your budget, lol.

I'd use Facebook ads

I'm tracking leads by the way

Yes, spend some money on facebook marketing and track your pixel - let it run for 5 days so you'll get a real feel of which demographic is most attracted to your product(s).

Through FB marketing, I know that 80% of my traffic comes from women aged 22-45 - so that is the main demographic which target through my ads.

Agreed.

I'd be able to purchase 4 posts from a large account for $200. Each posts gets me 350-450 followers and a bunch of sales. A good amount of the followers become customers later. I haven't been able to get ads anywhere close to the return I get from a instagram paid post.

I'd like to change that but for now it works....until it doesn't
