What you are really paying for, line by line
The Facebook marketing price in Sylhet is two numbers, not one — my fee for the work, and your ad budget paid to Meta. Anyone who quotes you a single blended figure is hiding which is which.
The first thing to understand about Facebook marketing price in Sylhet is that there are always two costs, and the cheap operators deliberately mash them into one. Cost one is the management fee — the human work of planning the campaign, building the audiences, writing the Bangla and English copy, setting up the pixel and events, and reading the numbers every day. Cost two is the ad spend, the actual taka Meta charges to show your ad to people.
When a boy tells you 'Facebook marketing 8,000 taka a month,' he is quoting a blended number and quietly keeping a slice of your ad budget as his margin — which is why you can never reconcile what Meta charged against what you paid him. I refuse to work that way. My fee is published and fixed. Your ad spend goes to Meta from an ad account in your own name, where you see every charge yourself. Two clean numbers you can actually audit.
So here is exactly what my fee buys at each tier. 50,000 BDT is a focused setup-and-launch engagement: I configure your pixel and conversion events properly, tighten your page and Messenger inbox so enquiries do not leak, build your local Sylhet audience and — where it matters for your business — a separate diaspora audience, then get your first campaigns live and optimised.
90,000 BDT is an ongoing managed sprint: multiple campaigns running together, regular creative refresh so the ads do not go stale, and real retargeting of people who messaged or visited but did not book. 1,50,000 BDT is a full-funnel program across awareness, conversion and retargeting, a tighter creative cadence, and reporting you can actually read instead of a screenshot of reach. Larger custom programs across Meta and beyond start from 3,00,000 BDT.
The tier you need depends on whether you are starting from zero or scaling something that already works — and I will tell you honestly which one fits before you pay.
The question I get next is always about the ad budget itself, and this is where Sylhet is genuinely different from Dhaka or Chittagong. If your buyers are local — a Zindabazar boutique, an Ambarkhana clinic, a coaching centre — a modest, well-targeted Bangla budget can do real work, because reaching Bangladesh audiences is cheap. But a huge share of Sylhet's real buying power sits abroad: the probashi brother in East London approving the flat, the family in Birmingham booking a winter wedding venue.
Reaching UK and Gulf feeds costs several times more per result than reaching Bangladesh, because you are bidding against UK and Gulf advertisers. I will not pretend a 5,000-taka boost reaches London. I will tell you up front what a realistic ad budget looks like for the audience you actually need to hit, so the price conversation is honest before you commit, not after.
On terms: every tier is 50% advance and 50% on launch, paid by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer — whatever is easiest for you. Nothing goes live until you have seen and approved the campaign and creative plan, so you are never paying for work you have not signed off.
And because I am one senior operator taking a limited number of Sylhet accounts, the person who quotes you the price is the person who does the work — there is no agency overhead inflating the fee and no junior quietly spending your budget. That is the whole reason a solo studio can give you a lower, cleaner price than a named agency on spend like this: you are paying for the work, not for a sales floor and a layer of management between you and your own ad account.
