We break down exactly how ChatGPT's advertising works, including the types of accounts that see ads, budget minimums, and how the context hints feature shapes targeting. Mark Chapman explains where ads appear within user conversations, why there's only one ad per conversation, and how this exclusive real estate can be a real advantage compared to more crowded ad platforms.We get practical by discussing the process of creating strong context hints and why keeping them specific to your service or offer is so important, especially since ChatGPT is different from platforms that let you target age or other demographics. Mark Chapman walks through campaign structure, geographic targeting all the way down to zip codes, and how you can set specific ad runs for time-sensitive promotions like trunk shows. We also get into the creative side, including best practices for headlines, descriptions, and images given the tight character limits in ChatGPT ads.We talk cost and ROI, addressing concerns about minimum spend, click pricing, and how to judge if your investment is yielding meaningful inquiries and bookings. Mark Chapman shares early campaign results, conversion tracking, and A/B testing insights, and together we highlight the value of differentiating your offer in a way that truly stands out. Most importantly, we emphasize that success comes from consistent testing, optimization, and embracing the natural delay between advertising and seeing actual sales in the wedding space.By the end of our conversation, you'll have a clear understanding of whether ChatGPT ads are right for your business, how to approach this evolving platform, and why being an early adopter can give you a competitive edge as more couples are using AI tools for their wedding planning journey.Are you going to Wedding MBA?
