What Running Ads on Small Budgets Really Looks Like
There’s a myth that ads only work if you’re spending thousands per month. We hear this often: “Don’t I need $10K just to compete?” The truth is, small budgets — even $200 to $500 — can deliver strong results when used with focus.

For example, a $300 local campaign can target people searching for services near your business.
A $400 Meta campaign can test one clear offer and see how customers respond. A $500 ad spend can drive dozens of leads to a simple landing page built for conversions.
The secret is not the size of the budget — it’s the strategy.
Narrow targeting, strong creative, and a simple funnel can make small dollars stretch far. At Dill Studios, we help small businesses unlock this exact kind of growth, proving that ads don’t have to be big to be effective.
