Currently, our sales primarily come via online marketplaces. I am currently looking for guidance for developing an effective advertising/marketing campaign to generate more sales on our website with the goal of ultimately scaling our business to the next level.
Actions I’ve taken so far
I have begun advertising on Pinterest as well as Facebook. I have tried listening to some classes online related to paid advertising. However I haven't been too thrilled with the results yet.
My future goals
My goal is to find an effective paid advertising strategy to scale the business.
My motivations to work with a mentor
I would like to work with a mentor who has experience in Digital Marketing, particularly in Facebook Advertising, to help with our marketing strategy.
