I thought it was fine

  That is why you are not a digital performance marketer. Even the most newbie member of STMforum would have been able to make an ad that was 100 X better than this.

    Slight OT - is STMforum a beneficial thing, or a scheme for fleecing money out of marketing newbies? I have a friend looking to promote some unique products in a commodity market (leaving the safe space of Etsy for direct sales) and I was wondering whether STMforum is worth it.

  For an indie effort on a limited budget it was fine. I got the point. I don't need to see the actual candy. If you don't already get the idea of weird candy from other countries not sure illuminating it more would make much difference. If it were me I would have invested a bit more to make 1 or 2 remixes of the ad content to see if one had more traction than the other. But yes, I'm not a successful web marketer.

  "Fine" is how you go bankrupt. There is way too much competition out there for 'fine' to be enough.

    Fun fact, the word "fine" means "the end" in Italian.

      Also: "thin", "elegant", "goal".

    Is that from a fortune cookie? How many many Japanese candies by mail services are there, not a lot of competition here ;-)

      I'm always seeing ads for Japan Crate on Facebook. If it weren't for HN posts I'd have never heard of Candy Japan.

      Sorry for the double reply but I can't edit my previous anymore. I just saw an ad for a "TokyoTreat" while on Facebook too

        I think you might have searched for that or "Japan"? I've never seen any of those.
