Every week, some platform wants your ad budget. Google. Facebook. A billboard rep. And now AI apps offering free credits.
And the people most likely to buy from you? They might be paying to never see your ads.
ChatGPT, Spotify, YouTube, streaming TV. Ads on these only run to free accounts. Anyone paying for the ad-free version never sees them. So if you sell something premium, the exact customers you want are the ones your ads can't reach.
We get asked all the time where businesses should be advertising, and honestly, there's no one answer. It depends on who your buyers are and what they're doing when your ad shows up.
So we wrote a full guide on it. Every major channel, what each one is actually good for, and a real example from our client work where postcards, a QR code, retargeting, and billboards all worked together to land moving jobs.
If you're a business owner or marketing manager, you need to read this before you spend another ad dollar. Link in comments.
