Marketing is not all about the "Buy" button. Content, PR, and community rarely generate sales here and now, but they build the most valuable things: reputation, recognition, and audience loyalty. It's like training before a marathon: you don't have a finish line yet, but you're already building up your fitness. According to the Digital Marketing Institute, content marketing can generate 3 times more leads at 62% lower costs than classical advertising. PR raises brand awareness to the level where you are recognized without a logo, and HigherLogic shows that active communities increase customer engagement by 21%.

The holiday rush is over, but that doesn't mean your advertising needs to take a break, too. During the Christmas season, many advertisers pause their campaigns. However, this “quiet” time is a unique opportunity to get ahead of the competition. Why? Fewer advertisers competing for attention reduces the cost of advertising, and the number of potential leads increases as people spend more time on their smartphones during the holidays. Let's look at why you should continue running ads during the New Year holidays and how it can benefit your business. Why does advertising after Christmas work? Reduced advertising costs After the pre-Christmas rush is over, the competition in advertising auctions drops significantly. Fewer competitors = lower CPM (cost per thousand impressions) and CPC (cost per click). Your budget works more efficiently, allowing you to reach more people for less money....

It copes well with language tasks, but it does not outperform previous models in programming," the startup's employees note. Usually, the greatest improvements in neural networks are observed in the initial stages of training. After that, the progress gradually slows down.
