ShareWhen done right, multi-channel Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns can be a great asset to your business. Advertising across multiple channels means you can reach more people, direct them to your website and increase your overall brand awareness.
Alas, as with most things, there are common mistakes teams can make which affect your campaign results. In this article, discover common problems you can face with multi-channel advertising, and find out how to get the most out of your campaigns.
Common challenges faced in multi-channel marketing
Lack of consistency
Different channels are often looked after by different teams. Lack of communication when creating a campaign means that each channel could have different messaging, so you risk muddying the waters and confusing your audience – leading to chaotic results.
No clear plan
Creating a marketing campaign without a clear plan is a mistake that a lot of teams make. Without a strategy, they don’t know how to measure the results, which results to measure, and what channels are going to work best in terms of supporting their business objectives.
Not enough resources
Different channels have different requirements, so it may be the case that you can’t use the same assets across all your channels. If your team doesn’t have the skills to create (or the funds to pay for) these different assets, it can affect the results of your campaign.
How to maximise your next paid marketing campaign
Now you understand the drawbacks you can face when creating a paid marketing campaign, here are some tips on how to maximise your campaigns to achieve the best results.
