Russia! Russia! Russia!

These reports about Russia buying a hundred $100,000 worth of FB ads are interesting.

Others have noted that in the many billions spent on FB ads a hundred K doesn't amount to much.

Quite right.

Still others have pointed out that the Russian expenditure seems like an experiment, a test to see what their rubles can do.

We agree with this assessment. Why? Because when we're looking to crack a new market we make a small ad buy in a magazine.

One and done is our rule.

[Also your wife's ha!-Ed]

A few years ago we did some ads in Europe, buying one ad in a European military history magazine in Spain, France and Germany. The results? Not good in Spain or France, but we broke even in Germany.

Breaking even on an ad is a great start.

Looks like the Russians think the same.

Friended?
