If you run an online store or manage its marketing, you know that the “turn on a campaign and watch the money rain” era is long gone. Advertising costs are rising, and the competition never sleeps.
Our own Darko recently accepted an invitation to the E-shopový kráľ podcast and broke down in detail how to get more orders today without ruining the company budget.
Forget theory, they talked about pure practice: AI, brutal data, margins, and automation. What was discussed in the podcast, and what should you focus on in 2026? Here are the most important takeaways.
Is Your Product Data a Mess? AI Will Finally Clean It Up
Many online stores have literal chaos in their product data. Missing descriptions, bad titles, broken categorization. The result? Google Performance Max campaigns are shooting in the dark and burning your budget.
On the podcast, Darko introduced our solutions, the so-called BlueWinston Addons. We are no longer talking about AI as a marketing buzzword, but as real tools that do the dirty work for you:
- They automatically improve and generate product titles and descriptions.
- They clean up the categorization so algorithms know exactly what you are selling.
- Game-changer: They allow you to segment campaigns primarily by margin, not just by revenue. Because revenue is nice, but profit is what pays the bills.
The CSS Program is Still Alive (and Saving Money)
Darko busted the myth that CSS (Comparison Shopping Services) no longer works right at the very beginning. On the contrary, if you are not yet using CSS Shopping in the EU, you are losing money.
- CPC Discount: As a Premium CSS Partner, we can still secure significantly cheaper clicks for you (up to 20%).
- New Markets on the Horizon: Google is massively expanding with Shopping Ads into other countries, including the Balkans and the Baltics. If you are planning an expansion, having the right CSS partner gives you a huge competitive advantage right from the start.
Google Isn’t the Only Player on the Field
We got used to pouring everything into Google and Meta. But Darko highlighted a growing trend – Microsoft Ads (Bing) is gaining momentum. Both locally and globally, we are seeing a surge in interest, and ignoring this platform means leaving money on the table. The competition there is lower, and the cost per conversion can often be much more attractive.
Are We Taking Jobs Away from Agencies? Quite the Opposite!
There is a lot of talk about automation replacing marketers. The philosophy behind BlueWinston’s tools is exactly the opposite.
2026 is the year when machines handle the routine and people finally handle the strategy. The tools relieve agencies and freelancers from manual clicking and tweaking feeds so they can focus on client growth.
And this is where our new Winston Bros Partner program enters the scene. It’s not just about the tools. It’s a community. As Darko hinted – we meet a massive number of online stores looking for agency services. Within this program, we not only share know-how and provide education, but we can also directly connect quality agencies with relevant clients. FOR FREE!
