Types of Advertising effective and convenient


First of all, each medium has its pros and cons. Here are a few:

Billboards work well if they are in a high traffic area and have a rapid, easy to read message, but could be very expensive, and your advertising is a good position to move from a negative position, especially if you are advertising with a budget and use this type of program. The best positions are usually the most expensive. Also, remember that the potential new customer has only a fraction of a second to see your message as speed and the amount of traffic during the period of 'years are factors. Will they take the time, or be able to write your contact information?

Television and Radio normally reaches a wide audience, depending on the area, but not always reach the desired demographic. The effectiveness depends on the time of day you run the ad, and if your budget is limited, usually because the announcement is not the time premium. Time of year is also a factor. Needless to say, if everyone is on holiday, the exposure might be less than at other times of the year. Also, important is the time range when placing your ad. If you're advertising a product for seniors, and the ad is placed in a program of snowboarding, the chances are slim to none that you'll be getting any new customers for your hard earned money.

Products such as imprinted pens, key chains, hats, t-shirts, etc. usually get your name out there, but they work? Personally I have six baseball caps, at least thirty different pens, shirts, three calendars, and an unknown amount of small pads of writing that I have collected over the years. To tell the truth, I never contacted any of the companies that have paid their hard earned money to have these things printed. Moreover, no one has ever come to me when I was wearing a baseball cap or t-shirts printed, and asked me to stop and wait a second so they can write down the information printed. If my life depended on it, I could not even take the name of a particular company imprinted on any of the products currently own. I know that companies that provide the elements printed to say your name is to be seen so many times before being recognized, but is this really so?

Print media - newspapers are a good way to get a lot of local people, but they can not always zero for the demographics that you want to achieve. An ad in a newspaper is usually very expensive, and on a limited advertising budget, you usually get a small ad, hard to read, in black and white placed somewhere in a section of the newspaper that people usually do not go. Other factors are the time of year, time and day of the week. Needless to say, there are fewer readers when most of the population is on vacation, away for the weekend or holiday, or if the weather is terrible and can not even get out of their homes and get the paper on that important day or week where the ad appears.

The print media - magazines are good because they usually reach the demographics advertisers want to reach. Since they are usually a special publication, and are usually read by only people who are important to the advertiser, advertisers usually get good results. But you must be careful to provide that service. In addition, the magazine advertising could get expensive if you're trying to run a full-color ad in a national publication. Unlike newspapers, readers of magazines are usually more educated and keep the magazine for a long time after they read it, so your ad will be displayed in continued long after it runs. Make sure you advertise in a publication that is published on a weekly or monthly instead of annual, semiannual or quarterly. Readers only have to compile the publication once, those who sit on the shelves for long periods of time are a waste of your money and rack space.

Online advertising is the latest way to advertise and more rapid growth. Internet now provides everything from links to the sites, banner ads on sites for small ads on websites, for pay-per-click. Be very careful when you decide that this is the way to go. Get all the facts about the amount of exposure you will receive guaranteed. Just because a website offers a great sales presentation does not mean you'll always be each exposure. This could be a very expensive way to advertise should be looking for maximum exposure. An important tip - having your own website is extremely important in business today. A well-designed web site can provide a global visibility.

Okay, now that I'm even more confused, I will conclude with a few last tidbits. 1 - Find the amount of exposure you are going to receive, for the amount of money you are willing to spend, before embarking on an advertising campaign. After all, even if it only costs $ 1.00, a dollar is wasted if you do not get anything in return. 2 - Make sure you monitor your advertising for effectiveness, by ensuring new customers how they found out about you.

3 - Experts say it takes at least three or four times before your ad runs, so be prepared to commit for a longer period of time.

4 - When designing your ad campaign, using the technique "What interests me." If your ad gets your attention, you will not get the attention of others. Keep it short and make it appealing. 5 - Logos, even if they are important to you, there are always an important part of an ad. If people recognize the logo, because it is advertising? You want to reach people who do not recognize your logo. For message is more important than a logo, especially if you have limited space to work with .......
