Running Google Ads for ChristianGiftsPlace.com presented a set of challenges unique to the faith-based gift industry. Competition in the gifting market is high, especially during seasonal peaks such as Christmas, Easter, and Mother's Day, requiring precise budget allocation and bid strategies. Unlike generic gifting stores, ChristianGiftsPlace.com targets a niche audience, making audience segmentation and keyword selection critical for maximizing ad efficiency. With a wide variety of product categories, structuring campaigns for optimal performance was essential to prevent budget dilution.

As Asset Groups gained traction, we expanded them with headlines, descriptions, and images to reach networks like Search, Display, YouTube, and Discovery. Later, videos were added to enhance engagement, especially on YouTube and Discovery.
