When done right, a new product launch can be a big win for a brand. Apple is usually on the winning side of its product launches, with lines wrapped around the corner for the next iPhone or new gadget. A big part of a successful product launch is the price.

The first half of 2019 was certainly, well, interesting. Nearly every retailer I talk to tells me that it wasn’t great. Weather played a significant part for many stores, and although those kinds of events are typically followed by a spike in sales, many retailers tell me that they never saw the spike. That means the second half has to make up for what the first half lacked.

Most advertisers spend a lot of time coming up with the keywords they want to include in their Google Search campaigns. And rightly so. Having the right keywords is the foundation of a successful paid search campaign. But very often, all that work goes right out the window during the setup phase. If you don’t pay close attention when you create your campaigns, the keywords you’ve carefully researched will result in a lot of irrelevant impressions and clicks.
