The month / 01
Seen.
Then asked about.
September put most of the advertising spend behind artwork inquiries, rather than inexpensive website visits.
The website recorded 20 inquiry submissions tagged to the Instagram-ad pages. Nineteen carried an ad identifier: 11 linked to the Super Star ad, 7 to Coming in Hot and 1 to Wild at Heart. One submission had no matching ad identifier.
Super Star and Coming in Hot accounted for most of the spend and most of the recorded inquiry activity. The messages included questions about price, size and seeing more work.
These are signs of interest. The available records do not establish which inquiries became collector conversations or sales.
Distribution / 02
Reach.
With a different focus.
Meta estimates that the advertising reached 18,858 accounts, with 27,744 ad impressions and 1,867 clicks to the website.
| Measure | August | September |
|---|---|---|
| Meta ad spend | $988.69 | $906.46 |
| Accounts reached · Meta estimate | 123,772 | 18,858 |
| Times ads were shown | 246,876 | 27,744 |
| Clicks to the website | 24,998 | 1,867 |
| Landing-page views · Meta | 19,253 | 1,498 |
Reach and website visits were substantially lower than August. September’s spend was concentrated on the inquiry campaign; August’s was concentrated on traffic. The smaller audience and visit totals do not, by themselves, prove that the audience was more likely to buy.
August and September figures were retrieved on the same reporting basis. Landing-page views are not unique visitors. The month-to-month comparison is not a controlled test of audience quality.
Instagram and Facebook both delivered
| Platform | Ad spend | Meta Website Contacts |
|---|---|---|
| $494.90 | 11 | |
| $411.05 | 5 |
Instagram accounted for 54.6% of spend and 11 of the 16 Website Contacts recorded by Meta. Facebook accounted for 45.3% and 5 Contacts. These Contact events are a separate measure from the 20 website submissions.
The artworks / 03
Super Star.
Coming in Hot.
The two most-funded ads accounted for 18 of the 19 website submissions carrying an ad identifier.
| Ad | Ad spend | Website submissions linked to ad¹ | Meta Website Contacts² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Star | $452.34 | 11 | 8 |
| Coming in Hot | $360.33 | 7 | 7 |
| Wild at Heart | $25.05 | 1 | 1 |
| Supernova | $11.09 | 0 | 0 |
| Wild Spirit | $5.75 | 0 | 0 |
The other three ads received very little spend. Their smaller results are not enough to judge the artworks or declare them weaker choices.
Five video ads. The images below identify the artworks; video playback is not included in this report.

All five ads shown here use video creatives, identified in the Meta records captured October 3. These still images are unaltered artwork references, not static-ad examples, video frames or playable previews. The report does not show the videos’ motion, sound, wording or placement appearance. Figures aggregate all placements of each ad; the current format records do not establish every version shown during September.
¹ The website saved the ad identifier alongside the submission; this does not establish the sender’s buying intent or necessarily the artwork asked about. ² Meta’s attributed Contact events, not additional inquiries to add to the website count.
Ad placement previews
No verified placement screenshots or video-playback captures are included. Artwork references above do not establish how the ads appeared in September.

Questions about
the work.
The inquiry messages included:
“What is the size and how much is this piece?”Website inquiry · September 15
“Please tell me more about this piece. Thank you.”Website inquiry · September 11
“Could I have details incl price indication pls”Website inquiry · September 20 · excerpt
Anonymized examples from the inquiry notifications. Examples illustrate the wording of submissions, not independent qualification of the senders.
Website submissions linked to each ad
20 submissions does not mean 20 collectors. Repeat messages are present. The records contained 18 different email values, which also does not establish 18 separate people or qualified buyers.
Meta separately recorded 16 Website Contacts. That count and the website’s 20 submissions use different counting rules and are not added together.
September’s evidenced result is distribution and recorded inquiry activity—not a confirmed sales return.
Report notes / 05
What these numbers
can tell us.
This report covers Meta advertising for September 1–30, 2026. Ad spend is media spend only and does not include management fees. Reach is Meta’s estimate; impressions count repeated displays.
Website submissions are drawn from the mini-site inquiry record, with the existing spam filter applied and repeated identical records removed. Repeat inquiries and unverified submissions can remain. This is not a count of qualified collectors.
No confirmed sale records or complete inquiry follow-up outcomes were included. The report therefore makes no claim about sales revenue or return on advertising spend.
Sources: Meta Ads Manager and saved reporting exports; the website inquiry record; inquiry notifications. Reporting data captured October 2–3, 2026. Meta uses its account reporting timezone; website dates are recorded separately.
