How we build & launch Co-op Ads

All of the preparation work is done inside our Facebook groups.

  1. 1
    Together we select a target area, minimum reach, and launch date.
  2. 2
    We set the the ad price based on the selected parameters and past experience (typically $1000 to be divided equally among participants).
  3. 3
    We invite members to participate -- typically a minimum of 10. Early participants can anonymously deny access to competing businesses.
  4. 4
    The ad goes "live" and runs until it achieves the minimum reach set in step 1.

How Co-op Ads work

This an example of a Facebook Co-op ad.

The ad contains a list of non-competing offers and is targeted to reach people in specific Zip Codes.

The ad leads to a page on our website that contains a list of the same offers.

The process varies a bit, depending on your specific needs.

Get started by creating a free business listing. Then add one or more offers. We'll review your listing and offers, and make them live on our website.

Then it will be time to select the Zip codes you want to target and when you want to start running the co-op ad.

We'll go to work creating and running the ad on both Facebook and Instagram. You wait for the leads & customers to come in!
