How much does an advertising campaign cost? The cost of advertising campaigns is a very frequent and recurring question. Giving an exact amount isn’t an easy task. After all, today there are many freelance companies and individuals that offer advertising and digital marketing services with a variety of costs.

 

Whatever option you choose, everything will also depend on the plans or services you select for your company or business.

 

A complete digital marketing plan is going to be much more expensive than if you go for individual services. An example of this is a person who only wants paid advertising from Instagram.

 

In a case like this, the expense will be less than that of someone who chooses a plan with paid Instagram advertising, email marketing service, auditing, segmentation, etc.

 

But what is the price of each service?

 

Remember that everything will depend on the type of service and who provides it.

 

A company with a recognized track record and reputation will have higher prices than one that may be in its infancy.

 

Besides, to people who work independently, their cost will depend on where they work.

 

That is, if they work from home or from a place or office. After all, they must pay rent or a team for other activities in charge.

 

So, the price will depend on:

 

• The type of project to contract. Everything will be subject to the plan you choose.
• The amount of money to invest in advertising campaigns, for example, the amount of money to invest in Ads.
• The level of competition in the market where your product or service lives.
• The labor costs of the agency or person you hire.
• Before proceeding, note the following:
• Advertising is a plan made up of a set of strategies to promote the image of your business in the first place.
• Its visibility, as well as its position in the market and, of course, generate and boost sales.

 

A well-prepared and applied advertising campaign must be positive. This way, it can give you a return of more than double what you invested. Thus, giving you fruitful results on a constant basis every month.

 

For this, the most appropriate thing is to lean towards the preparation of a personalized budget. Here, you must focus on the needs of your company and what you want to achieve in the short, medium and long term.
