We’d recommend starting with about £30.00. It doesn’t sound much but it’s a way of testing results. It will increase traffic to your website but the key is to convert traffic into bookings.
Do I need a Social Media account?
Social media isn’t for everyone, firstly it needs to be updated regularly at least once a week if you’re using Facebook for example.
