Adwords has helped many small businesses increase their abilities to compete with large brands by empowering these firms to reach the masses. Even without the multi-million-dollar advertising budgets that larger corporations have, these firms are able to compete and attract significant returns on their advertising dollars.
Manitoba Mukluks Tells its Story through Adwords
The Aboriginal-owned business Manitobah Mukluks has used Adwords to tell their story, while also positively impacting their community. Josh Fine, Chief Brand Officer of the corporation, told Google “Most consumers don’t know what a Mukluk is… We had to find a way to get in front of people who are looking for warm winter boots, or authentic boots, or comfortable slippers.”
Manitobah Mukluks works with artists who are still making Muklluks, and the company gives 100% of the profits for the art to the artists. That’s a significant story to tell, and one that Adwords facilitates to the masses.
“We sought out Adwords so we could find those consumers, and so they could find us,” Fine went on. “It democratizes commerce. It allows us the same level of exposure as billion-dollar competitors.”

The company’s director of positivity says YouTube has given the firm a way to reach the masses.
