Question

Has anyone is this group, preferably from UK, advertised hand sanitiser on Facebook? (With NO inflated pricing) Is there any current restrictions you are facing? Is there language that you cannot use? Does the landing page affect approvals? Are you seeing good results? Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks!  

Answer 1

I haven't tried, but I tried selling a hand mask and it got flagged just for having the word mask in it. I had to rename it. Maybe try that. Facebook is just looking for a reason to disable your account these days so i wouldn't mess with it. Try Mercari.

Answer 2

I’m not in the UK but I know a new DTC cleaning product brand that got their page and ad account removed with no room for appeal for advertising hand sanitiser. They were not price gouging at all.

I have a client who is successfully running hand sanitizer via the products section of his FB page. I'm not involved in it but he's doing it and I can see the traffic/sales via GA. I think he's calling it hand cleaner but would have to look. He's not price gouging and actually selling it cheaper than most other brands. I'm running a personal side project in a very close niche to hand sanitizer. At first the BM and ad account got killed. But we appealed and got it back and are running ads. Also, I had a google merchant center acct for this site, I used the word mask in a product description (not a mask) and my merchant center account got shut down instantly. You can run hand sanitizer on Google Ads for sure. The CPCs are pretty high and it doesn't seem profitable.

Try to see what are the terms FB has banned to use during this time. As Google won't allow to use keywords like corona, virus etc.

@encephalograph Just a suggestion. You can improve your ad copy.
