Are there any risks associated with ad swaps?

Audience Mismatch: If the partner&#8217;s audience isn’t aligned with yours, the swap won’t be effective.
Brand Reputation: Partnering with a brand that doesn&#8217;t share your values can tarnish your image.
Ad Quality Control: You don’t have control over how your ad is presented, which might misrepresent your brand.
Traffic Disparity: If one party gets more traffic than the other, the swap becomes uneven and less beneficial.
Competitor Overlap: If you partner with a direct competitor, you might end up losing customers to them.

The main risks include:

Ineffective Tracking: Without proper tracking, it’s hard to measure the success of the swap.
Legal Issues: Not having a clear agreement can lead to misunderstandings and potential legal problems.
Resource Drain: Managing ad swaps takes time and effort that might divert resources from other important activities.

It’s all about balance and strategy. No need to be overwhelmed, just informed.
