However, despite the enviable prospects, companies are faced with excessive costs and minimal return on investment in advertising. This is often due to a number of missteps, ranging from poor targeting to poorly designed offers. In this article, we\u2019ll\u00a0<strong>look at<\/strong>\u00a0common campaign mistakes and\u00a0<strong>offer<\/strong>\u00a0strategies for avoiding them.<\/p> \t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content__article\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content__article-title\" id=\"trap-1-insufficient-testing\">Trap 1: insufficient testing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"content__article-text wp-block-paragraph\">Marketing requires constant improvement.
