  • 3Concentrate a small-business campaign on relevant high-value locations rather than spreading the budget too thin.
  • 4Define creative, conversion goals, reporting, and optimization before launching.
  • 5A shorter campaign flight does not lower the $3,000 monthly minimum.

Mediavision2020 campaigns have a $3,000 per month minimum. Your recommended budget may be higher depending on the market, audience, targeting locations, ad formats, and campaign goals. A budget is a planning input, not a guarantee of leads, store visits, or revenue.

Why Campaign Budget Minimums Matter

The monthly minimum provides a starting point for planning audience reach, frequency, creative delivery, and measurement. Impression volume depends on CPM, inventory, format, and actual delivery costs, so it should be estimated in your proposal rather than treated as a guaranteed outcome.

Budget Planning by Business Type

  • Solo contractors and single-location service businesses: Start at $3,000 per month and concentrate on a small set of relevant competitor locations or trade-area targets.
  • Single-location retailers and restaurants: Start at $3,000 per month; choose locations and dayparts that support the offer and the desired conversion.
  • Multi-location businesses: The campaign minimum is $3,000 per month. Total investment may be higher to support additional markets, locations, audience segments, and creative needs.

How to Make the Most of the Budget

Prioritize high-value targeting, a specific offer, and a landing page aligned with your ads. Establish the conversion goal and measurement plan before launch. Review delivery, attribution, and creative performance before scaling the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run a Mediavision2020 campaign below $3,000 per month? No. Our campaign budget minimum is $3,000 per month. If that does not fit your current budget, wait until it does or discuss other marketing options; a shorter flight does not change the monthly minimum.

What does the managed service include? Your proposal should explain campaign strategy, targeting, creative requirements, reporting, and optimization. Confirm the scope and cost before launch rather than assuming a lower entry price.
