Google AdWords sending me free money?
Sunday, September 24. 2017
If you own your company and happen to use any Google services (I do both), then you're very likely to be approached by Google's AdWords marketing. They are pitching you initial free credits to use for your ads. Since my business really doesn't rely on advertising, or marketing or anything of such nature, I typically ignore any approaches regardless who is contacting me.
Google has this approach, that they send you snail-mail and the letter will contain a credit-card sized laminated card contaning my business' name and a discount code to be used during registration. As there are nice € sums of money in them, I never threw any of those away. And it so happened, that since I kept ignoring Google's marketing machine, they just kept sending me those cards over and over again.
There is 1150,- € worth of free advertising in those.
You at Google:
Keep sending them, I'll keep collecting them. And amp up the values, I won't even flinch with your 150,- € coupons!
Go big! Go for 500,- € or even bigger!
