I wouldn't underestimate facebook for b2b. The users that see the ads still work at businesses. I have had very good success using these for my b2b application.



could you elaborate on this? what is successful and what have you learned about ad content?


My app is http://www.cliniko.com

I used the "likes" targeting in the facebook ads demographics to target occupations that my product is aimed at. I also targeted relevant english speaking countries.

I have tried quite a few different styles of ads, but individual ads for each occupation that were specifically targeted has the best results. I guess I would advise creating many ads, and wording them specifically for each demographic you want to target.

I also tried various pictures, but ultimately a screenshot of my app was the most successful.

The majority of my users so far were acquired via the facebook advertising, it has been my most successful strategy.


Have you tried Linkedin? It might be a good avenue to test.
