Thank you for this information; it was very interesting. I also appreciated your pace, as it made it easier to follow.
An object lesson in concise and clear advice. Thank you so much David Penny. I also enjoyed the sub text of your presentation – as in Keep Experimenting, and if one approach doesn’t work, try another. You have obviously invested a huge amount of time and effort, and a certain amount of £££, to get where you’ve got today. And that’s what we should do too.
With gratitude

Hi Maree – thank you so much. I realised I had skimmed over what an Impression was, so to clarify:
Reach is the number of individual people your Ad was delivered to.
Impressions is the number of times it was viewed. These sound like they may mean the same thing, but Impressions include repeat delivery to the same person. Again, this might sound like a bad thing to deliver your Ad more than once to someone, but is in fact good. Marketing theory says you need five “touches” or contacts before someone buys, so it might take more than one viewing, or impression, of your Ad before a person responds.
Hope that makes sense 🙂
Hi David that was an extremely clear and well presented look at starting advertising with fb and Amazon. Thanks so much for sharing this. Can you please tell me what exactly an impression is on Amazon in the report area. Thanks again. Maree
