Kays Designer Consignment
GOAL: IN-STORE SALES
Create Content Advertise Measure Complete Page
BACKGROUND
Kays is located in Ormond Beach, FL. Kay spent thousands of dollars advertising
in local newspapers and tourist guides that produced only had a handful of sales.
Facebook gives her up-to-the-minute connections with customers and
consignors. Kay can get the word out instantly, at a far lower cost and a far more
effective delivery rate.

Our business has grown tremendously using Facebook Ads. After 11 years in
business, weve learned that print advertising simply doesnt work. Facebook
does and it helped us achieve a 30% sales increase. Were growing our business,
and even shipping items outside of our area on a consistent basis. Facebook also
helps us keep in touch with out-of town clients and run local fundraisers.
--Kay Gibbs Martinovic

30% overall increase in sales

Karaoke Heroes
GOAL: IN-STORE SALES
Create Content Advertise Measure Complete Page
BACKGROUND
Karaoke Heroes is the only karaoke bar in the state of Connecticut, and the only
superhero karaoke bar in the U.S. They're all about interactivity in nightlife--
creating a self-afrming nightlife experience. Andy Lebwohl was a big-rm
lawyer who needed a change. He went to business school and put together a
business plan combining his two favorite things-- karaoke and superheroes. Andy
validated the business concept exclusively through Facebook, raised some
investor money, and the rest is history!

When we rst opened, three-quarters of new customers indicated they had
heard about us through Facebook advertising. As word of mouth has grown, that
has dropped to about half, but the value hasn't changed-- Facebook ads bring
bodies in our door! From being deep in the red when we opened, we're now
solidly and consistently in the black, and about 2/3 of that is from customers who
found us through Facebook.

RESULTS
50% of new customers come through Facebook
4000+ local likes theyve almost saturated the New Haven area
Regularly sell out big events (New Years Eve, Karaoke Contests) on Facebook
