Prime Day 2023 saw people spend up to $12.9bn alone.

However what these sellers fail to notice is that it's all about maximising efficiency of your running ads.
That's why my partner-in-crime, Dave Bryant, is on the podcast today to talk about the 10 ways you can maximise your efficiency and reduce ad spend.
