Hi, 

Well Marketing needs money to spend whether you hire SEO experts, a big team of SMM and SEO experts who can produce results for you in lower investment or a few educate employees to handle your Social pages, campaigns and SEO and start investing with bit larger amount of money in ad campaigns but important is whatever you do or invest in first you have to invest effectively on strategies within your budget limit which will surely helps you to reach your goals.

So coming to your first point about Facebook ads, according to me Facebook ads can take time and it can be a long investment and whether it is reaching to your targeted audiences or not. Some experts says it's good and some says no, hence it totally depends how your campaign is going and whether it's being reaching to correct audiences or not.

Secondly, as you asked: whether people prefer social media advertizing over the normal ads?

The answer of your question is simple, you might have seen several ads on different pages and websites even on Social media sites like Facebook, How may of them have you ever clicked: Many, few or 0 (Zero) According to me it will be few only, it is because if the ads shown to you is in your interest you will click on it else you will move and also depends how effective and good the add is but making user to watch ad is not the target you have to convert that user in your customer, hence again it depends what you are sealing and to whom and where you are sealing or show ads. 

Below are few more thing which you can do:

• Along with you can use e-mail campaign which is bit cheaper then ad campaigns.
• Making a press release online and newspaper (news paper if required depends on what you sells).
• Chose an appropriate platform
• Make and post videos on YouTube.
• Creating quality and unique content.
• Create a post for social channels through canva etc.

If you want to invest in any ad campaigns or social advertising/Facebook ad Invest little first if you get good results then can think in investing more on it.

 Hey!

I would suggest you spend on Social media marketing, which has several benefits over more traditional ways of promotion and advertising a business.
Low cost: Advertising through social media platforms is inexpensive compared with many offline platforms. In fact, many social media platforms are still free to engage in—apart from the costs associated with the design and production of what you post. Unlike TV, print media, or radio advertising, you certainly don’t need a model, a voice over artist, or an actor to create ads online. You can advertise on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc according to your audience.  
Broad reach and targeted focus: One of the key drivers—and advantages—of social media advertising over traditional advertising is its reach. 
Easy sharing: Your message gets a second life when it’s shared with others in their circles, and sharing on social media and the Web is almost effortless. (Also, something as simple as a mailing list becomes a bit obsolete when you consider the cost savings of not having to pay for ever-increasing postage rates).
Real-time analysis: With traditional forms of media, real-time analysis of the impact of an ad campaign is almost impossible, and even if it is done, it’s done in the long-term. Conversely, measuring the efficacy of advertising through social media can be done almost instantaneously.
Future-proof: Last but not least, advertising on social media is the future. As mentioned earlier, with the rise in ad dollars spent on online marketing and the “constant hot” connection to the Web, more and more companies will want to be where the eyeballs are and that’s online.

There are countless other reasons why you should shift your focus on social media, but let’s just call a spade a spade: Social media is here to stay.
