Listen Later

Vicki from Marketing Made Social digs into the real question every small business asks: is it worth running ads if you’re only spending £500–£1,000 a month?


Or should you double down on organic content instead?

In this episode, we break down what actually works with small ad budgets, how to avoid burning cash, and why ads and organic have to work together if you want results in 2025.

🧠 You’ll learn:

  • What small-budget ads can do (and what they definitely can’t)

  • How to use your organic content to test before you spend

  • The “one thing at a time” rule for testing with low ad spend
