But recent data tells a different story. The Cost Factor LinkedIn's advertising costs have become more competitive due a rise in Metaw CPMs. For instance, our campaigns in the video showed: - Facebook: 6,500 impressions for $276 - LinkedIn: 6,600 impressions for $326 ----------------------------------- Engagement Insights Here's where it gets interesting: - Facebook: 377 clicks (approx. 5.7% click-through rate) - LinkedIn: 34 clicks (approx. 0.5% click-through rate) While Facebook's higher click-through rate might seem attractive, LinkedIn’s precision targeting ensures that every click is from a highly relevant audience. This minimizes ad spend waste. ----------------------------------- Pros and Cons Facebook: - Pros: Higher click-through rates, lower initial cost. - Cons: Potential for ad spend waste, less precise targeting. LinkedIn: - Pros: Precise targeting by job title, industry, and company size. - Cons: Historically higher CPM, lower click-through rates. ---------------------------------- Why LinkedIn Might Be the Better Choice For B2B companies, LinkedIn offers significant advantages despite the seemingly higher costs. The precise targeting means your ads reach the right audience, ensuring valuable interactions and minimizing waste. Remember, not all campaigns need high click-through rates. Building brand awareness and staying top-of-mind with you ICP are crucial for long-term success, and LinkedIn excels in these areas. ------------------------------------- If you're a B2B marketer or start-up founder, consider LinkedIn for its targeting capabilities and reduced ad spend waste.
