How does Facebook decide who sees a post?
The main feed is now mostly recommended Reels and video, the same as everywhere else — but in Pakistan the intent still lives in Groups and Marketplace, and those run on their own rules. Comments and shares count for far more than reactions, and a post that starts a real argument in the comments travels furthest. Paid reach is genuinely cheap here, and the blue Boost button wastes money: a proper campaign built in Ads Manager costs a fraction per enquiry.
Formats, lengths, caption limits and the best posting windows in Pakistan Standard Time are the same whatever trade you are in, so they live in one place rather than being repeated on every guide.

- 05Build and watch Meta ad campaigns daily in Ads Manager instead of using Boost, and show you the cost per enquiry every week
- 06Answer page messages and comments, and move Marketplace enquiries into a WhatsApp conversation
- 07Create and refresh Marketplace listings with daylight photos and honest prices so they keep surfacing
- 08Report monthly on reach, cost per enquiry and exactly which post brought the phone calls
Should printing presses be anywhere else?
Facebook first. After it is running steadily, these are the next platforms worth your time in this trade — in this order.
| Platform | Priority | How often | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | #2 | 4 videos per week | Machine footage and colour-matching clips perform unreasonably well and bring in orders from well outside your own bazaar. |
| #3 | 4 Reels plus 2 carousels per week | Wedding cards, packaging and branding samples are visual products, and small brands shortlist their printer straight from a Reels feed. | |
| WhatsApp Channels | #4 | 2 broadcasts per week | Repeat customers need to know about paper price changes, Eid deadlines and new stock, and they are already messaging you on WhatsApp anyway. |
