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.

While the second question throws light on inherent vulnerability of market and leading the established brands to go for PPC. Two dimensions can be cited here in this regard:

This is something goes on till you keep on campaigning for your product through PPC. The additional advantage that you get is that you succeed in getting your product or service affirmed virtually. Let us understand it numerically:

For example, suppose your spend is say, $200 for PPC and the business that you get is of say $300. You get $100 additional which you re-invest in the PPC which may earn you additional $50 or more.

4. Build Strong Foundation for Brand Building

No brand is stronger than it ought to be at the initial stage. It becomes stronger and more powerful when there increases the loyalty of the brand users. PPC ad searching is helpful in building strong foundation for brand building.

This is perhaps only the sure shot strategy that will work out no matter what you intend to promote and whom you are promoting to. This is so especially because today's most end-users prefer to tap the keys of their mobile devices and click on the stuff that appears first on the screen.

5. Achieving Goals like Stability & Growth

The path of marketing is not always made of roses. It has its ups and downs. One has to keep on making efforts to achieve the goals of stability and growth.
