Why Facebook Ads in Cameroon?
Facebook remains the most used social platform in Cameroon. It allows you to:
- Reach thousands of people instantly
- Target specific cities, interests, or behaviors
- Drive traffic to your WhatsApp, website, or storefront
If you’re not using Facebook Ads, you’re missing a major opportunity to grow.
Step-by-Step: How to Run a Campaign
Step 1: Set Up Meta Business Suite
Create a Business Manager account at business.facebook.com.
Add your Facebook page, and connect it to your WhatsApp Business number or Instagram account.
Step 2: Choose the Right Campaign Objective
- Messages – for direct WhatsApp or Messenger chats
- Traffic – to send people to a website or landing page
- Engagement – to boost likes, comments, and shares
- Leads – to collect names, emails, or phone numbers
Step 3: Target the Right Audience
- Select Cameroon or narrow to specific cities (e.g., Yaoundé, Bamenda)
- Choose age range, gender, and interests (e.g., “fashion”, “parents”, “students”)
- Use custom audiences for people who’ve interacted with your page or website
Step 4: Create Eye-Catching Creatives
Your visuals must grab attention. Use:
- Real product photos or short local videos
- A clear CTA like “Send us a message to order”
- Captions that feel natural to Cameroonian readers
💡 Tip: Try using Camfranglais or simple Pidgin when appropriate for relatability.
Step 5: Set Budget & Duration
Start small:
- Budget: 15,000–35,000 FCFA
- Duration: 3 to 7 days
Monitor performance using Meta Ads Manager and adjust as needed based on:
- Cost per message or click
- Engagement rate
- Conversion rate (sales, leads, bookings)
What to Avoid
❌ Running ads from your personal profile
❌ Targeting all of Cameroon with no specific audience
