1. Ensure that budgets are set correctly and there is money in the attached payment method. There’s nothing worse than a declined card stopping your ads.

5. Double check that your search terms, negative keywords and audiences are in line so that your ads are definitely showing to the right people over the period. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your $$.

We hope these tips will help you to take a little time to switch off over the Christmas period. Let the ads do the work for you while you get into the Christmas spirit.

Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
