Free $100 Facebook Coupon Courtesy Of Visa
For those of you who are not advertising on facebook already (and even if you are) and want to give it a try, now there is a completely free way to test the waters.
As part of the Visa Business promotion, Visa are offering $100 USD in advertising credit to facebook users/advertisers. To get the free credit all you need to do is…
Log into facebook and add the Visa Business Network App. Once added, Facebook will send you a coupon code with instructions on how to add the credit to your account.
Perfect if you want to test the waters on facebook and perfect if you’re already spending a fortune with them. There’s more to PPC than just the big three :)
Update*** Seems like Alexia was WAY ahead of me finding this. Also, Master Mulley is running a competition for the best stats on a facebook campaign. Have a look!

Nice find, thanks for sharing Dave. I just signed up, will let you know how it goes.

I added the Visa Business Network App but never got a email or a msg with the coupon. How long does it take to get the coupon code?

Love the advice and the blog, good to see you back with a new post. What has been your experience with advertising on Facebook? To me it seems as if users would just tune out all of the banners/ads becuase people are so engaged in their social community. I mean banner ads are pretty much dead as a viable advertising platform as a whole these days.
Don’t get me wrong, we still run huge online media campaigns with banner ads of all shapes and sizes for clients but they are definitely not nearly as effective as they used to be.

Never really thought about about trying Facebook for advertising. Though I guess it is worth a shot if it’s free. It will make an intresting experiment at least

Thanks for the link, Sally :)

Thanks for the heads up. I *still* haven’t really got into Facebook yet, so I would never have found out about this. Something for nothing is always good :)

Aren’t Facebook already syndicating Google Ads to an extent? I know if you type in any of my sites I’m advertising they’ll at least pop up under mails sent via Facebook?

Thanks - Will give it a try, but I wonder given the stats I’ve seen on click through on FaceBook if I will get much for $100, but good to get a go for nothing. Cheers.

Excellento ! $100 should get a nice few leads all right. I’ve never used FaceBook Ads, but I like the idea about being able to drill down to the demographics. Damien has a nice guide to it here : http://www.mulley.net/2007/11/21/how-to-advertise-on-facebook-a-perspective-from-ireland/

John : I applied and got my confirmation almost instantly. You should get an email with the voucher code. Maybe you should remove it and try again. (sorry about 2nd post, feel free to merge them)

Cheers for the $100 Dave :) no idea if I’ll get around to using it but still handy to have the option

@John, you don’t even need to fill out your profile. I got the mail within seconds of adding the app.
@Organic SEO Consultant, I ahve found that the work well in some verticals and not as well in others. You just have to jump in and see.
@Sally, You’re welcome. (was going to unlink your comment).
@Janine, go for it! Damien’s competition is more than enough incentive!
@Aisling, no, Google have nothing to do with facebook or their ad serving.
@James, no probs but it’s not me that’s giving it away ;) Handy if you want to get some quick traffic to something or want to test a new affiliate offer.

Hello, Thank you for the coupon. Before i jump in to the offer, would you happen to know what are the requirements to join? would facebook marketing work for attorneys?

I love facebook adds as the ability to tighten in on a specific demographic is great for me. That said I was thrilled at a $100 coupon. But I have not gotten an email? I installed the applications, but no coupon code. How long does this take?
