The meeting will start with informal networking, a sharing of ideas over breakfast followed by a micro masterclass by Karen Young from Ethos Metrics titled Should You Run Paid Ads? How to Find Out Before You Spend a Penny.
Karen says:
“Paid advertising (also known as Pay-Per-Click or PPC) can be a game-changer for business growth. But for many small businesses, it can also be a quick way to burn through cash with little return. So how do you know if PPC is right for your business before you invest?
In this session, we’ll cover:
- The key factors that determine whether PPC (Google, LinkedIn, or Meta Ads) could work for your business
- The differences between the platforms and which ones suit different types of businesses
- Which platforms you can test on a DIY basis and which need expert support
- The realistic costs of running paid ads – and the kind of returns you need to make it worthwhile
- The basics that you need to have in place before you test PPC
Whether you’re curious about running ads or just want to understand how they fit into a marketing strategy, this session will give you practical insights to help you make an informed decision.
