With each small business having direct access to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and even YouTube, we are all fully capable of marketing our businesses entirely for free using each platform’s tools and resources. We could even do reasonably well with a well-designed website with clear and attractive messages that are easy to navigate. However, if you have been in business for more than a week, you know well that having an excellent website isn’t enough to bring in customers. And having social media also isn’t enough to bring in the level of customers we need to sustain us.
Sometimes, we must spend money to reach a newer and broader audience. Or conversely, sometimes we need to reach a very narrow specific audience in which paid advertisement is our best or only way to target them. Whichever side you find yourself on, you want to ensure that you make the wisest investment and get the most significant return.
