How to manage more than one company’s Facebook ad campaign

I’m posting this on my blog, so at least I’ll be able to find it. It’s an email from the good people in Facebook’s advertising dept, in which they provide direction on how to manage Facebook advertising campaigns for more than one client (credit card) at a time. Here goes –

To use multiple credit cards you will need to open a secondary business account to run your ads. To set up a business account:

1. Click on ‘Advertising’ at the bottom of the page on Facebook.com (when completely logged out).
2. Click “Create an Ad” (green button).
3. Create a campaign by going through steps 1-3 (note this ad will not actually run, but a “dummy” ad must be set-up in order to get to the next screen).
4. When prompted to log in at “Facebook Login”, make sure to select “I do not have a Facebook account.”
5.  Input a general company e-mail address or your company e-mail address (Make sure that the e-mail does not match with your Facebook personal profile e-mail address or any other Facebook email address in our system). Please also note the general email address cannot be an email like, info@, help@, support@.
6. Verify the e-mail address through your inbox.

Now, your business account has been created! Please do not click “Create Your Profile” within this account. You can now log into the account and create an ad by clicking on the “Advertising” link. You will be prompted for your credit card information after you have placed an order for an ad.
