How Much Should You Spend? Telegram Tips
Telegram traffic can vary, but in the African market, you can often maximize your advertising budget with smart planning. Here are some key considerations:
- Broader targeting often leads to lower CPC, while niche interests result in higher CPC but better-quality leads.
- Targeting at the country and city levels can significantly alter rates.
- Video and interstitial ads may cost more but frequently deliver stronger engagement.
Pro Tip: Start with a maximum budget to reach your ultimate audience, test various formats, and use performance data to refine and optimize your bids.
