      any time between 6-8 pm their time and 12-2pm.

      for 12-2, people are on lunch break and find them selves checking facebook.

      from 6-8, people are generally home from work, check their facebook messages and eating by their computer.

      you should not run at later than 9pm...people are generally in their bed watching tv waiting to fall asleep to get to work early the next day. if they do click your add out of curiosity, they wont take any action steps like filling out a form and getting out of their beds to get their credit cards to buy something.

    It depends on what you are promoting. If it is geared for the younger generation, mainly college kids, then 12 - 2 AM is when there is most traffic in that age group.

    You'll have to test. Make sure your
    tracking is up when the ads are run,
    then adjust depending on what the
    tracking stats say.

    Unless there are others in the
    market, track what they do but don't
    copy as they could have the timing
    wrong.

      Always start your ads at 7 AM FB time and just let it run
      until you can gather enough data and do day-partying.

      If you don't have the data, then don't worry about what's
      the ''best time'' because you don't know how your audience
      reacts at certain days/hours. It is different for everyone,
      their market is different so their data is different.

    Anyways it depends on what one is promoting but from my little observation people tend to check facebook and do one or two postings every morning in between 8-10 am. they do as well when observing their break period 12 -2pm and probably in the evening when at home6-7:30pm, anything beyond that is time to go to bed or watch movies

    realistically, there are 100 horror stories of people who ran Facebook ads campaigns and lost their money for getting virtually no real results in return, for every 1 rare "success story"

    Question 1 is what is your budget like? If your budget allows you to do so, good times in US at least is 9am, 12-2pm during lunch, and about 5 when everyone is going to work. There are some people on this thread who are saying that facebook ads are not worth it. That is true...if you are not running your campaigns correctly.

    If you don't have the budget to run your ads that often, be more precise about how you're running your ads. You WILL spend money with FB ads, but if you perfect it for your niche, you'll be a valuable asset to your field of expertise.
