And likely a working professional adult who can afford an iPhone is worth at least a deviation or two above that.

- pessimizer 5y agoMaybe, but I'm not sure a working professional adult is an ad-clicker, and I'm not sure that the ads they click on can con them into doing something they wouldn't normally do very often.

As a working professional adult, who has access to many others working professional adults, I assure you, ads work. You’re simplifying ads to a barebones click to rate exchange. Ads are way more subtle than that.
- pessimizer 5y agoI don't doubt they work. I doubt the margin of work done by facebook ads on working professional adults over the work of ads that they are exposed to through other means and by word of mouth. And not that that margin doesn't exist and not that it's not worthwhile to advertise on facebook, but the doubt is that as compared to any other demographic being advertised to that it's worth so much more. Advertising to impulsive spenders is worth more than advertising to less impulsive spenders. Less impulsive spenders are informed by ads, more impulsive spenders are convinced by ads.
- elliekelly 5y agoWouldn't people with more disposable income (like professional adults) be more likely to be impulsive spenders? They can afford to be.
- pessimizer 5y agoMaybe. But they can also afford to wait.
- sanedigital 5y agoAds are extremely successful for high-ticket offers. If you'll selling a multi-thousand dollar product or service, you can afford a lot of impressions to get just the few clicks that convert for you.
