The 4 Ps of marketing… You’ve probably heard about them from a friend, a textbook, or even at school. I know it sounds like a boring topic that’s common sense, but there is more to it than meets the eye.

Where is there work to be done? Economists are making stark predictions about the future of small businesses in the US, but at the same time, I live in a town without a courier service established enough to meet the mushrooming demand for home delivery. Frankly, it’s devastating reading headlines forecasting the permanent closure of 7.5 million American SMBs , but while absorbing these, I also spent six weeks shaking the Internet for bathroom tissue before locating some 1,400 miles away.

30-second summary: SEM budgets fluctuate naturally depending on volume and auction outcomes, so it’s important to see the outliers right away. But with many campaigns running simultaneously, it’s nearly impossible for any one human (or even a team of humans) to extract that information in a timely fashion and act on it. To address this problem, and enhance confidence in the campaigns they run, the digital team at Vladimir Jones built an automated budget monitor. At its core, the automated budget monitor is a tool that pulls your daily advertising spend (actual spend, not your budget amount) for each campaign over a given timeframe and highlights any spikes that are worth your attention. You can create additional budget monitors on separate tabs of your Google Sheet for any other platforms to which Supermetrics connects, such as Facebook Ads, Twitter Ads, Pinterest Ads, and Microsoft Advertising (Bing).
