Self-Serve vs Managed: Which Path for Bangladeshi Advertisers?

Factor	Self-Serve (ads.openai.com)	Managed (WPP/Omnicom/Ridoway)
Entry	Direct signup, credit card	Partner onboarding
Control	Full campaign control	Partner manages
Minimum	₹725/day	Negotiated
Support	Self-help + docs	Dedicated team
Best For	In-house teams, testing	Large budgets, no in-house expertise
Time to Launch	Same day	1-2 weeks

Decision Rule:

If monthly budget < ₹500K AND you have in-house marketer → Self-serve. Else → Managed.

Official Minimum Daily Budget & Payment Methods for Bangladesh

Currency	Min Daily	Notes
INR (India/Bangladesh billing)	₹725/day	Lowest global minimum (~$8.70)
USD	$25/day	US billing
EUR	€15/day	EU billing
GBP	£15/day	UK billing
BRL	R$40/day	Brazil
MXN	MX$150/day	Mexico

Payment: Credit card only (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). No bKash, Nagad, PayPal, bank transfer. Postpay model — card charged after threshold hit. $100 auth hold on card add.
