Today I'll be telling you how and why Internet based marketing can give you more bang for your buck than the traditional offline advertising and marketing model. For example:
Let's say that you go to your local newspaper and tell them that you want to place an ad with them. While you're there, you ask what their circulation is (their number of readers). They give you an estimate. You also ask them what their demographics are. They give you a general answer, because they don't really know.
So you place the ad in the classified section and wait to see what happens. By the way, on your ad you put a code on your website URL so you know how many visitors you are getting from that ad, and second, with the phone number you also add a code, so you know where the calls are coming from.
In the interim, you wait for your ad to go out on the next edition of the newspaper. After a week, you start to get some traffic and calls, and then you measure that against the price of your ad. You may find that with ten leads, the ad is costing $5.00 per visitor with a total ad cost of $50.00.
In this example, we do very well and make one sale. Now, you may get other trickle in calls over the coming weeks, as often, people keep the newspaper and respond to an ad later.
Now, let's take an Internet advertisement example by comparison. For this one, you start a pay per click campaign. With this method, you determine what keywords are relative to your service or product. You can get as targeted as you want and you can put a few keywords in a broad category, too, to see what keywords you might be missing out on when you try to snare everyone in your market.
With this example, your ad goes live within just 15 minutes, using, let's say, Google. You don't pay unless people click on your link; if they do, you pay a dollar. Let's say that your conversion rate is 2%. This means that you spend $100 to make two sales.
However in this example because of conversion tracking you can tell which keywords are converting to sales and cut out the keywords that do not convert making your ad campaign more cost efficient and effective.
You can also tell with the broader keywords how exactly people are finding you. Additionally, you can place ads on other websites with exact demographic information which are highly targeted to your business.
The main advantage to this internet based marketing model is the ability to closely track how your ads are performing. This allows you to maximize the revenue stream brought n by your campaign in a way traditional advertising never could.
By the way, pay per click is only one form of online marketing, there are many other effective marketing techniques you can use online, such as writing articles relative to your business, doing a press release, adverting in relevant online ezines and one of the most effective online marketing techniques is e-mail marketing, that is if it is done correctly.
Internet based marketing can significantly reduce your costs. It can also provide more information that lets you run more efficient and better marketing campaigns. In addition, your turnaround time is faster so that you get better information much sooner than you do with traditional venues. - 16890
