How much does the site cost ?!

This is undoubtedly one of the most frequently asked questions for most contractors.

The answer is simple – good specialists know their worth. And here the question is not about the fact that WE are great, but about the fact that the level of work of students and people “by experience” is significantly different. Therefore, it is more expensive.

Every month, after completing online courses, hundreds of emails, targeting experts, designers, programmers, content makers, etc., break into the market. Do I need to explain that not all of them study hard, have sufficient knowledge and skills? Or that the hand of such people is not full at all?

The process of creating a website is quite multitasking.

Designers, copywriters, SEO specialists, IT specialists, visualizers and many others work on the project, including the project manager who puts everything together. All this in order to make a GOOD FINAL PRODUCT.

A designer is a designer, programmer-programmer, copywriter and SEO-schnick are also different people with different pay levels. And if a universal soldier offers his services to you, then you do not have a question about the level of his professionalism? A talented person is talented in everything – of course, a well-known phrase, but when it comes to money, you should not risk it!

Often, savings at the stage of choosing a contractor translate into even greater labor costs, financial investments and nerves. It is a fact.
Taking a deliberate approach to this question helps you see what you are paying for:

for studying
knowledge
an experience
quality
time
equipment
professionalism
guarantees
taxes
rental of premises and electricity

As a result, a good, high-quality product cannot be cheap.

In fact, there is no better example of how to renovate an apartment.

So which crew would you risk hiring?

Media buyers. Who are these people?

Have you ever wondered who is behind the banner ads on the sites you visit most often?

Or the Super Bowl commercials we’re talking about in the weeks after they air? The answer is media buyers.
First, let’s get acquainted with the media store. Media buying is the process of buying ad space and time on digital and offline platforms such as websites, YouTube, Facebook, and TV.

What tasks do these people face?

• Everything is very simple. Media buyers control the media buying process with the participation of the media planning team. By understanding the marketing goals and preferences of the target audience given by the media planning team, the media buyers actually purchase the ad space.

• Basically, media buyers do the obvious thing: they buy media space. They follow the media, evaluate the performance of certain platforms and media channels, and then make important decisions about where advertising campaigns in the world will actually be launched.

• The media buyer is a key element in ensuring that marketing and advertising campaigns are presented to the right target audience in the most effective place, thereby gaining recognition and new customers for the product or service in question.

• After defining the target audience for specific campaigns, they work with media planners to develop media buying strategies that will achieve the desired coverage.

• Media buyers also need to be smart about money, as they will be entrusted with a budget that needs to be spent wisely. They will attend meetings with their clients, give presentations and inform them of the results of their various campaigns. They have to do it right! In the end, the client will not be too impressed if someone advertises his new expensive car dealership in the newspaper Molody Bukovinets.

Why should you turn to them?

Today, the world is full of advertising, but not all of it is effective. The main problem is tracking results. Having bought a banner near the road, you can never understand how many people it attracted, and whether the investment was relevant.
The choice is yours…

SMM - WHAT IS IT AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

SMM is no longer a mysterious way of promoting, but one of the main methods of promoting a business on the Internet. Everyone has social networks, and they know about us no less than we ourselves. This knowledge is used by brands in their advertising campaigns. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and others are platforms where each product will find its buyer if it knows how to search.

SMM – branding a project in social media, increasing its awareness and driving traffic to the site in order to increase sales.

PROS

– accurate hit in the target audience of the brand
– feedback from users
– inferior to other promotion methods in cost, but not in efficiency
– easily divide the audience into segments and identify the most solvent and target ones
– we get more awareness through viral marketing
– we advertise natively
– through social networks, businesses will be able to find reliable partners and cooperate on a win-win strategy

MINUSES

– you should not expect a quick result, everything is based on trust in the brand, and this takes time
– advertising on social networks is not suitable for all categories of business
– you always need to be in touch with your audience, answer questions, identify needs, work with objections
– for truly high-quality content that collects large reach, engages the audience and, most importantly, brings sales, it takes a lot of work. You will need to constantly generate content, implement new ideas, keep your finger on the pulse of trends and conduct analytics of results.

Content making

Creating content that resonates with your audience starts with information. Your profile feed should contain the latest news and current industry trends. The best content creators are always aware of what is happening: they understand every meme, be the first to know about hot news feeds and always know how to properly wrap it up in a post. If you create fresh and interesting content that benefits and entertains users, then the loyalty of your subscribers will grow with their number.

Targeted Ads

Quality content is important, but it is equally important who you show it to. Targeted advertising is a method of audience segmentation by analyzing gender, age, income, geo, user interests. Smart marketers don’t scatter their efforts, they aim at the most relevant users and get the most results for less!

Social media boost

We come to social networks for entertainment. Promotions and contests – content that has the highest user engagement rate. Target audience is expanding by itself, as some users bring others with similar interests. And interesting offers can always be used as a lead magnet to get contact details of potential customers.
This method has nothing to do with shadow marketing in SMM. We always play fair and we advise you! Giveways and various cheat services will only help you in creating a collection of bots and non-target users, and nothing more, and this is unlikely to bring sales, but it will most likely kill your brand profile.

Community Management

SMM is good because we can always hear and interact with our audience. The main thing is to do it right. As part of the marketing strategy, we will determine which tone of voice is most suitable for your audience, what interests your subscribers, what questions they want to hear an answer to, and what they are not satisfied with and how to fix it.

Viral Marketing

This is the way to get the largest reach in the shortest possible time. Viral content is spread by the users themselves, which effectively reduces the cost of advertising. Creative, but often scandalous posts provoke discussion on the network. Competent specialists know how to create a significant news feed without damaging the brand’s reputation.

Advertising with influencers

One of the most significant advantages of SMM is collaboration with opinion leaders. Bloggers have the highest audience loyalty. Subscribers perceive the blogger as a friend they can trust. This is where all the possibilities for native advertising are revealed. A direct statement “buy” is not thrown in the face of subscribers, and advertising integration becomes an honest recommendation of the product, which positively affects the credibility of the brand.
We work with bloggers of all sizes and industries. We will be able to select the most relevant audience for your business and bring results that can be measured in sales!

TARGET VS BLOGGERS: WHERE TO PAY?

Targeted advertising VS blogger advertising: which is more effective?

Smaller brands often face the challenge of deciding how to reach new audiences. When you have a budget for advertising your product, but there is no understanding of which type of advertising will bring the best result.

Using targeted ads on social media is often the first thing that comes to mind, because it’s understandable and inexpensive. However, the opportunity to quickly establish your product and get a large number of loyal audience from a blogger is also very attractive. In this article, we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of using these two types of social media advertising.

Features of targeted advertising:

Why is this advertising tool so popular and what are the advantages?
– Customize your ad
When setting up targeted advertising, you can independently determine the purpose of the advertising campaign, budget and create a suitable creative without agreeing on the terms with the manager or the blogger’s team.
– Precise selection of the target audience
Unlike advertising to a heterogeneous audience of bloggers, targeted advertising makes it possible to demonstrate a product to those who are the most target audience of your product / service.
– Constant traffic flow
– Optimization for targeted action
– Ability to test various ad formats
– Retargeting and collection of look-alike audience
– Forecast of results

What are the disadvantages of using targeted ads versus blogger ads?
– There is a ceiling on requests per day
– Cannot use native ads
– Cold audience

Advertising with bloggers:

Of course, a lot depends on the blogger himself, and such advertising has many nuances, but this tool is good in its own way and can bring the best results in promotion. Considering advertising from opinion leaders, the definite advantages will be:
– Attracting a loyal audience
– Ability to use native ad format
One of the main advantages of advertising with bloggers is that, when presented correctly, the ad post does not look like that in the eyes of the audience, and is perceived as a recommendation from a trusted person.
– Sharp and unlimited traffic growth

What difficulties can arise when working with bloggers?

– Selecting a blogger suitable for the topic and analyzing his audience takes a lot of time
– Choosing the right influencers can be difficult, especially for specific niches, you can also face deception (for example: an audience collected by givami, or bots, overstated reach, incorrect audience statistics ..)
– Relatively high cost of advertising
– There is no guarantee of the result
Since the manner of interaction with the audience and the presentation format, as well as the human factor, play an important role, it is rather difficult to predict the result.
– No detailed analytics of results

What’s the bottom line?

Despite the large amount of work, advertising from bloggers can bring impressive results, quickly builds trust in the product and the brand as a whole. Subscribers often make purchases and use the services on the recommendation of those they trust. Target also works well for sales, however, it provides much more opportunities in the selection of the target audience.

There is no universal advertising method – it all depends on the niche and goals of your advertising campaign.
