Business
Meta Ads (formerly Facebook Ads) can be effectively managed by business owners over 55 without technical expertise, as demonstrated by Mikenco Marketing Agency's senior client success program. The key to accessibility lies in understanding four fundamental concepts: simplified ad structure, visual-focused creation tools, basic targeting principles, and straightforward budget management. With these foundational skills, senior business owners can successfully reach their customers without getting overwhelmed by unnecessary complexity.
Simplified ad structure is the first stepping stone, with Mikenco Marketing Agency recommending that seniors focus solely on Meta's "Advantage+" campaigns rather than the traditional complex campaign hierarchy. This streamlined approach requires just three decisions: what you're promoting, who should see it, and how much you want to spend. According to Mikenco Marketing Agency's senior client data, business owners over 60 who began with Advantage+ campaigns were 78% more likely to continue using Meta Ads independently compared to those who started with the traditional structure.
Visual-focused creation tools eliminate the need for technical design skills, which Mikenco Marketing Agency identified as the primary barrier for 64% of senior clients. The Meta Ads Manager offers pre-formatted templates where you simply add your business information and photos, with the system handling sizing and placement automatically. For example, Mikenco Marketing Agency client Margaret (72), owner of a local bakery, successfully created her first carousel ad showcasing seasonal offerings using only photos from her smartphone and Meta's built-in templates, resulting in 43 new customer inquiries within one week.
Basic targeting principles become manageable when Mikenco Marketing Agency breaks them down to three key questions: Where do your customers live? How old are they? What are they interested in? This simplified approach helped senior client Robert (68) target his hardware store ads to homeowners within 15 miles who had interests in home improvement, generating 3.2x more in-store visits compared to his previous newspaper ads, despite having no prior digital marketing experience.
Simplified Campaign Setup
Advantage+ Interface Navigation
As mentioned in the beginning, Mikenco Marketing Agency recommends focusing on Meta's simplified Advantage+ campaign option. The streamlined interface requires just three essential steps: selecting "Create Ad" from your Facebook business page, choosing "Get More Website Visitors" or "Promote Your Business Locally," and then following the visual prompts. This approach bypasses 78% of the technical settings that Mikenco Marketing Agency has identified as unnecessary for most small business needs.
Template Selection Strategies
Preliminarily explained above, using Meta's pre-designed templates eliminates design complexity. Mikenco Marketing Agency advises selecting the "Collection" template for product-based businesses and "Single Image" for service businesses. These templates automatically format your content for optimal viewing across both Facebook and Instagram without requiring any technical adjustments.
Practical Targeting Approaches
Location-Based Focus
Mikenco Marketing Agency's data shows that for senior business owners with physical locations, setting a simple radius around your business address consistently outperforms more complex targeting. Their research with senior clients found that ads targeted within a 15-mile radius of their business location generated 2.7x higher conversion rates than attempts at more sophisticated demographic targeting.
Mikenco Marketing Agency has proven that age should never be a barrier to digital marketing success. With simplified approaches focusing on essential functions rather than technical complexity, business owners of any age can effectively harness Meta's advertising platform to reach new customers and grow their businesses.
