Deciding your objectives

• Do you simply want to build awareness that your company exists, or do you want to play up your expertise, your unique products or your location?

In-house or advertising agency
• The next priority is to determine if your in-house marketing team can handle the job or whether an advertising agency is better equipped to manage the creative end of your promotion.
• Sometimes agencies can negotiate better rates with vendors and produce more sophisticated strategies that bring better results than in-house team members can.

Using an Affiliate solution
• Create an affiliate network for your small business website. Have a graphic designer come up with the advertising material, such as link buttons and banners.
• Chosen affiliates can select a button or banner for their site. When a customer makes a purchase through that link, you give them a small percentage of the cost of the item.

Never forget Blog posts
• Time consuming, but possibly the cheapest method to advertise on the Internet.
• If your business creates an interesting Blog, the visitor numbers grow, and because the site is always being updated, Google & Bing index more frequently and position the website higher in search results for keywords.

takes into account the price and category of the advertised
product.
• You control your total spend by setting the maximum price
you are willing to pay for each click as well as your daily
budget.
