## Better together: LinkedIn Ads + Sales Bytes

This isn't an either/or. The channels compound.

### Warm-up, then retarget

A trusted newsletter placement builds the familiarity your LinkedIn retargeting converts. Prospects click ads from names they recognize.

### Full-funnel coverage

B2B deals take months of touchpoints. Sales Bytes builds weekly presence in the inbox; LinkedIn adds ABM and retargeting when buyers engage.

### Reach beyond the feed

Plenty of quota-carrying sellers lurk on LinkedIn without engaging. They still open their email — that's where Sales Bytes finds them.

## But if you must choose one…

|  | LinkedIn Ads | Sales Bytes |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Auction pricing — B2B CPCs regularly $8–15+ and climbing every year as more advertisers pile in. | **Fixed, upfront pricing** agreed before your ad runs. No auction surprises, no seasonal spikes. |
| Attention | Your ad competes with job posts, promotions, and viral content in an algorithmic feed built for scrolling. | **42% average open rate** — every impression is a reader who chose to open. No algorithm decides who sees you. |
| Precision | 1B+ members. Powerful filters — but you pay for broad delivery and fight decaying job-title data. | **5,000 subscribers, 65% sales decision-makers.** The list is the targeting. |
| Competition | Unlimited advertisers bidding on the same audience. No cap on how many ads a user sees. | **Max 3 sponsors per issue.** Guaranteed share of voice in every send. |
| Context | Interruptive placement between personal updates — buyers are in networking mode, not evaluation mode. | **Editorial recommendation context** — readers open Sales Bytes specifically to find new tools and plays. |
