There are two scenarios that we can think of primarily are:

  • How will you penetrate when you are new in the market? And,
  • Do you really need to opt for PPC even if you are established brand (Pay-per-click) campaign?

The first question implies that you may need PPC to have a strong stay in the market when you are new to the arena. Because there will not be many knowing your product or services completely and simultaneously there will be already existing big brands that you are supposed to face the competition of!

Many beautiful products or services meet child death simply because the end-users do not have idea of their existence. So, if you are a new bee to the industry, you will have to accept that the PPC will remain a long game of promoting your product.

Let us understand it numerically:

4. Build Strong Foundation for Brand Building
