Online advertising is a lot like the telephone game. The cost of an ad depends on what you want to say, how long it will run, and where you\u2019ll be running it. If you don\u2019t know all three things, there are calculators that can help you figure out your budget in advance. Here are some additional factors to consider when putting together your campaign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. How much time do I have?<\/strong>
    This dictates the length of the campaign and whether or not ads will need to be refreshed weekly or monthly.

  2. What platform am I using?<\/strong>
    Ads cost more if they’re being shown on Facebook than Twitter because it’s harder for people who use Facebook to skip over them without scrolling past them first. Ads can also vary depending on where they’re shown; if you put your ad in front of the right people, it’ll be more effective and you’ll save money.

  3. What do I want to accomplish?<\/strong>
    If you want people to click on the ad and go straight to your site, your budget will need to include a higher price per impression- the amount you\u2019d pay for it to be seen. If you just want brand awareness, your budget will be lower since only people who already know about your company would be seeing it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The best way to determine what kind of pricing works for your business is to calculate how much an ad would cost if you were running it just for a month and then divide that by 4- that\u2019s how much it\u2019ll cost to run the campaign for each week. Also, keep in mind that you could end up spending more than you had planned because ads can go viral and spread like wildfire if they’re interesting enough. It’s also possible that the price of major events will affect the price of your ads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if a sporting event is going on and you’re advertising a sports bar that’s not showing it, people might go to one of your competitors who are as a result of them being more attractive to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
