Advertising On The Web ...
Why Are You In Business?
Is it to make money? We hope so. Advertising should be a profit center, not something you "spend money on".
The Internet has become mainstream. Once only TV, Print and Radio ruled the advertising world. The major advertising agencies that once dismissed the web as a fad now are touting web advertising as the new sliced bread. However, most of them focus on “Branding” through advertising on the web. Why, because good advertising on the web is highly-metrics based and agencies typically like to develop branding “campaigns” and be done with you.
Advertising is great to create an “image” for your company, especially if you are just launching your business. BUT, if you are just launching your business, you need customers along with your image.
Next to search engines, advertising on the web is the biggest lure for creating site traffic. Without visitors to your site, your business will wane. Web advertising requires a consultant to be highly effective, whether you have a designer already or not. Basic advertising that generates some traffic is easy, and with some simple programs, you can do this at home. If you really need traffic to your site though, you need a great program that generates traffic takes special skills.
Web advertising should be an extension of your current marketing and advertising programs. In fact many media sources have web components. They will even help with getting you on the web. They may even help you for free. You do need to remember that just like in other media, their primary goal is to sell you MORE advertising. While it is smart business to advertise on the Web, it’s only successful if the result is increased business.
If you consider your site to be a revenue generating enterprise, make sure that your advertising is focused on deliverables (leads, orders, new clients) instead of simply image. Just make sure your advertising is measurable and profitable.
There is an old saying in advertising that "I know half my advertising dollars are wasted - I just don't know which half!" With metrics on the Web, you do know. As a matter of fact, you can even keep tracking your visitors as some of them change into paying customers. Only paying customers mean value for your advertising, and you should even consider refusing to accept simple eyeball measures like CPM, unless they are very cheap.
