I signed up two campaigns last week - one generic, the other wedding specific. Chose option to bill based on impressions. Will let you know how it goes!

Would you be reaching the demographic you wanted though?

In my case this would be an important demographic
I have to agree with wavy davy, the only thing is that my gigs are coming from invited friends to my profile rather than a fan page.
I have ads blocked as well.

It's hard to understand marketing in places like facebook....
You are much more likely to get a booking from a FB friend than directly...
From Facebook in 2009
I got 1 booking that was a result of a comment I posted on a photog friend's wall...
0 bookings from friends I made there...
4+ bookings from FB friends who became friends, after meeting them at an event...
But that's my experience, maybe I'm doing it wroong... lol...
Facebook ads, may not pull in a lot more than that, but you really have to set up a system on your site to deal with those few inquiries...
you only have a few seconds to convert that click into an inquiry and if you don't do it right.. that click will be gone forever..
I've heard from a third party that one of the other DJ's in the local area only does Facebook advertising and his business is booming.
I've also been told that they charge a much lower rate than the rest of us in my area. Read it how you want?

Again, I don't believe it is his PAID advertising at all. I believe it is his networking and talking about his DJ business on Facebook that is helping him. Do me a favor and ask him to break it down, and then share with us what he tells you.
I've booked around 40 in less than 3 years of Facebook. My group helps with 500 or so in it and about 70% useable contacts (over 18 and local) it helps me keep on top of thier mind when they need a DJ. The non usable contacts (you guys) make the group look bigger than it really is. Aside from the ones that come here who else would know the stats?
The other thing I do is I post in my status playing here, playing there etc or around preparing music for the weekend or around doing DJ stuff etc. Again this keeps me in the mind of those that may need a DJ.
Since FB came along I constantly get asked when I run in to someone I know how is the DJ business going. I rarley got asked that before.
TOMA works folks

Jeff, do you use a personal page or fan page to do that? I find that is hard to get people to join a fan based page than your personal page.
Most of those folks have money, they just want something for it. If the entertainment value was what it used to be, they would pay. The movies suck these days. How about all those well-off suburb mommies taking their kids to the movies during the week? College Kids (they will be getting hitched soon)? Etc.
There is a wide range of people that attend the movies around here.
I agree. I delete all the requests for "business card" fan pages/groups (sorry guys). All it does is give me more fluff to weed through on Facebook. If having one increases your SEO, then it's great to have. I don't see where the amount of fans/members affects that aspect.
I use a group. Fan pages were all the rage a couple of months ago but I stuck with a group it seems less Narcissistic and people tend to join quicker
