Advertising on the internet can be very costly. Although it is a well-established fact that having an online presence is an absolutely necessity for any type of business looking for new customers, and even trying to retain existing ones, an internet presence can end up costing a lot of money.
Online Business Directories - the majority of online business directories use premade templates and often don't give you much space to talk about your business. Calgary Business Hub's online directory markets to your specific potential audience in and around the Calgary area. Average monthly costs to advertise on such online venues can cost up to $200 a month or more, but Calgary Business Hub is offering an advertising spot for only $49.99 a month and our Launch Special is only $25 a month for the first 4 months!
Pay-Per-Click Advertising - Google Ads are an effective tool but can be quite costly on a monthly basis. Some businesses pay over $2,000 a month.
Social Media Marketing - great for brand awareness when people find your listing, but its effectiveness depends on the kind of business you run. Ads on Social Media platforms can cost up to between $1,000 to $3,000 a month for small to medium sized businesses in order to be effective.
Email Marketing - email marketing is a good way to let people know that you are there, but it can be time consuming and in Canada, rules can be quite restrictive.
