Use emoticons :)

All this for just a smiley. |

What picture to use on a Facebook Ad?
Chris Cardell is a marketer who works primarily through email and video seminars. In one of his seminars, he mentions that using pictures of young, attractive females makes both men and women click on your advert without alienating either gender. This means that you target your advert to both.
If the woman in your photo is looking toward your text, even better! Psychologically, we look at what other people are looking at. When people see a picture of someone looking in a specific direction, they follow the sight-line subconsciously. This means that the reader of your ad will follow the sight-line of the woman's eyes straight to the copy you have written below - meaning that they read your advert and are more likely to click and view your ad! |
