Invest in Paid Advertising

Relying solely on “just posting content” may not be enough to achieve your sales goals.

Investing in paid advertising can significantly boost your visibility, attract potential customers, and drive sales.

Where Should I start advertising?

First, understand your target audience. Different platforms have different user demographics.

For the Stone Industry, start with Facebook and Google PPC.
