The first week of the campaign

As we started the campaign we were checking the results regularly. In the beginning we reached our daily limit ($10) too early, therefore we set lower bidding price. It resulted in a higher clicking rate per day.
We were thinking a lot about making a search-restriction by areas. Our idea was that we could put special commercials of the different offers of the local stores, but than we figured out that it would not make any sense. Hungary is a small country and there are not big differences in the demand of the consumers between the regions. Therefore their search would be very similar. The centralized services offered on the homepage also did not support this idea.
After checking the keywords regularly, we could redefine the wordlist for the commercials with adjustment to the most popular topics and searches.
We have also checked the blogs and tips about AdWords in Hungary. We have read blogs like

We are all very excited about the next week of the campaign!

Getting started

On 28th April the Google contest day. Start: 10 AM Finish: nobody knows (yet).

We have discussed several options for the actual start and after around two hours of discussion we could agree on with which area to start.

Than we have split up the tasks in order to be more efficient with the work. Gabor and Andras were filtering and colleting keywords, while Bea and David were editing the advertisments.

New project.

After a few weeks, Gabor our team leader brought back Google contest to our brains. We held a team meeting, where we agreed in the new the project timing and the new company: Praktiker, a retailer in the Do It Yourself (DIY) market.

We set the start time to 28.th of April and Gabor started to get into touch with Praktiker. After a week, confirmed our plans and timing.
