Currently there are more than 6 million advertisers on Facebook. That is more than any other social media platform.
Why? Because Facebook ads offer massive ROI by allowing you to target your audience by location, demographics, age, gender, interests, behavior, and connections.
But to make this work you have to create highly effective Facebook ads. You have to optimize your content, graphics, CTA, landing pages, and your targeting methods.
However, in this post, I’ll only talk about the first 3 ingredients. I’ll show you some successful Facebook ad examples of multiple brands.
These ads will not only give you an idea about what everyone else is doing but they will also evoke your creativity.
All these Facebook ad examples are broadly categorized into 7 industries. You can refer to the ones your business fits in.
241+ Facebook Ad Examples
You’ll find a combination of photo ads, carousel ads, and video ads on this list. These screenshots are either taken from my own Facebook account or from the Facebook Ads Library.
But before starting, there’s one thing I wanted to talk about – Facebook Ads 20% Text Rule
If you have created ads in Ads Manager, you’ll know about this rule. It states that advertisers can cover their ads’ images with not more than 20% text.
There was a time when this rule was mandatory but now you can easily get past this. You can use more than 20% text in your ad creatives but Facebook does warn you that it might limit your ad reach. In simple terms, the more text in your image, the more will it cost with less distribution.
In this post, you see how advertisers are experimenting with their ad variants to get maximum ROI.
Now let’s just jump right into it…

eCommerce is one of the most competitive industries today.
And considering the current pandemic (The COVID-19), it is only going to grow. Almost every business is going to be online within the upcoming years.

46. DripDrop

People living in the state who see the ad directly addressed to them, will be more willing to try their product.

76. Rocksbox

77. Loot Crate
This is probably the most casual way of asking someone to join a club. And it works!
78. ALDO Shoes
This is not a carousel ad but it sure looks like one!
ALDO has just added their brand name on top of two of its products. Since they added shoes for both males and females, they won’t have to run multiple variants of this ad.
79. Bespoke Post
This Facebook ad also doesn’t sell the product directly. They aren’t telling you to buy your themed box but asking you to see what it has.
80. Mango
This is a rather unique e-commerce ad on this list of Facebook ad examples. Most apparel brands use models to show their clothes. It does work but there is always room to experiment.
Mango hasn’t used any models but just a picture of their product with a white background. How does this work? Your audience isn’t distracted by anything, all they see is your product.
This is a great example for small businesses who don’t have the budget to hire models.

Another Facebook ad with an unedited image. It shows real products in the hand of real people. Plus the caption is very encouraging.

Shopify has taken this stock photo to another level by just adding some text. Their copy is enough to explain to the reader what they are providing.

106. Progressive
Progressive is an insurance company and they are selling their car insurance in this ad. Although their graphic alone doesn’t convey this message but it is compelling enough to make someone stop scrolling.
107. Amy Porterfield
Another ad with a great CTA. Adding a simple arrow to your graphic might not look much but it does work and increases your ROI.
108. ClickFunnels
They ran an ad for something that will teach you how to create ads. Brilliant!

The first thing you see in this ad is the bold text in the image. They haven’t even used some fancy tools to design this. You can easily create this ad from any social media graphic design tool.

Biteable has made a video ad with an image of a dog. You can do this too with any stock image.
Also, in their caption, they have given an insight about how popular they are.
119. EmberTribe
I know I am repeating myself here but using numbers attracts more people.
EmberTribe could have written that they will teach you how they scaled their eCommerce client. But by adding the exact number they have proven their authenticity.
120. PSECU
The image might look too complicated to some but I really like a creative background. That with a perfect caption just seals the deal!
121. Ahrefs

125. Eventbrite for Organizers
A carousel ad with fun and creative illustrations. This ad doesn’t have many words but their graphics convey the brand message easily.
