Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about running competitive ads. He highlights the dos and don’ts of creating, running, and tracking ads in order to differentiate your product or service from the competition.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
- Competitive ads are low hanging fruit so you should be running them.

- Highlight the things you do better and highlight what your competition doesn't do so well.
- Make your case in a way that’s non-aggressive. Avoid trash talking about your competition.

- Educate your competitor’s customers about their alternative options.
