In an ideal world you would put your feet up, relax and watch the sales or the leads roll on in.

What may in fact happen is nothing at all. Actually, it’s worse than that, because you will still be losing ad spend as Facebook will take your money regardless of your campaign’s success.

It’s no secret Facebook loves video content, with founder Mark Zuckerberg predicting that, based on recent trends, the majority of content we consume online will soon be video based.

With over 2 billion active users, and more than 100 million hours of video content being watched daily, video advertising on Facebook may seem like a slam dunk marketing move, but with whispers of Facebook advertising prices rising, is it still a cost-effective option?
