Online Advertising versus Newspaper Advertising.
Posted by | Posted in Advertising | Posted on 02-12-2008
Online advertising costs are now sky high if you choose to pay per click instead of getting your site optimised for the ‘free’ listings on the search engines. Newspaper ads are on the decline, but depending on what product or service you are advertising, newspaper ads can be better or worse suited to you. For instance, if you owned a window cleaning company, there would be no need to advertise anywhere apart from your local area, whereas online advertising is on a global scale and now has become (on certain sites) some of the most expensive advertising in the world to buy. It is debatable whether advertising in a national news paper would have a better impact than internet advertising because again this would depend on the product or service that you are promoting and as the target audience of your product or service. Search engine marketing is now one of the most effective forms of marketing as you are putting your website i.e. your ‘ad’ in front of thousands of potential customers actively searching for your services or products.
