How to Separate Your Ads from Competitors’ Ads

To run successful social media and Google ads, you need to be running numerous ads at once.  Having multiple offers and promotions target a broader audience will allow you to capture more leads.  The offers that you are willing to promote will be the most enticing piece that will engage your audience. You need to set yourself apart from your competition.  For example, a martial arts school who is running an “Anti-Bullying Campaign” is likely going to outshine their three competitors down the street who are all offering “Free Trial Classes.”
