How Much Does Online Promotion Cost?

Complete guide on online promotion costs and how to set an effective budget.

Today I'd like to tell you a bit about the costs of online promotion.

Factors That Influence Cost

1. Industry

Some industries are more competitive, so the cost per click will be higher.

2. Objectives

Do you want awareness or leads? Direct sales or website traffic?

3. Target Market

Local, national, or international? Each has different costs.

4. Chosen Platforms

Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn - each has its own costs and results.

Indicative Costs

Google Ads

  • Cost per click: 0.5 - 5+ EUR depending on industry
  • Recommended monthly budget: minimum 500 EUR for visible results

Facebook/Instagram Ads

  • Cost per 1000 impressions: 3-10 EUR
  • Recommended monthly budget: minimum 300 EUR

Campaign Management

  • Agency: 15-25% of ads budget or fixed fee
  • In-house: specialist salary + training

ROI - What Really Matters

It's not the cost that matters, but the return on investment. 1000 EUR invested that brings 5000 EUR in sales is more valuable than 100 EUR that brings nothing.

Conclusion

Set clear objectives, measure results, and adjust investment based on performance.
