In traditional advertising, the advertising campaign is usually limited to particular geographical regions or spaces. With the internet, the scope seems to be endless and a greater potential of becoming a global brand. If you are able to handle goods and supply them across the globe in a reasonable amount time, you are likely to have a customer from there. The reaches are almost without limits and are only limited by your own ability. The synchronization of payment methods through credit cards has made serving remote communities even easier.

Focused Internet Marketing

There is evidence to show that over 60% of people that buy an article or service online made some effort to search for the product or service beforehand. Therefore if you know the possible customer profile for your goods, you can target your advertising efforts to the sites that they are likely to visit. Creating your site with relevant keywords will make the site come up in targeted search by the users. Therefore the person that sees your product is possibly someone that is already interested in what you are offering and he will be more likely to convert.

Quicker Conversion Times

One of the greatest advantages to internet marketing is that the conversion time is far less than the conversion time for traditional advertising campaigns. One of the reasons for this short conversion time is that it is easier for the user to react to the advertising message in internet advertising. Most of the time, the advertising itself is a link to the product page and a user is able to buy with a few clicks.

More Product Knowledge

With traditional advertising such as TV and Radio, there is not enough space to explain to the user what the good or service is really about and what advantages they might get from using the good or service. With internet advertising, the interested user can click on the advert, search for information about the good or service and then make up his mind whether to buy or not. It is easy to inform the client without the use of your own time and effort. More over the client can get enough information and buy without spending time in traffic to visit your store or depot as in a traditional setting.

More Cost Effective

Internet advertising generally has lower entry level fees than traditional advertising methods. If you have the time and with some effort, there is a great deal that an entrepreneur can usually accomplish in terms of advertising without incurring costs.

You are able to restrict your advertising by a certain amount each day on advertising platforms which is a great thing for your budget. Moreover, there are some internet campaigns that will only charge you for activity. That is you won’t be charged unless a user interacts with your advert in some way. This is a great value for each advertising dollar.

Good Conversion Tracking

One of the greatest advantages of internet marketing is that it offers conversion tracking. Therefore you can quickly know your target population and optimize your campaign for these, or see where you are falling short and try to make your net wider.

These advantages show that internet marketing is certainly useful and it will increase profits and visibility for the budding entrepreneur – just is it will the accomplished businessman.

How to Identify Different Types of Ad Agencies
How to Identify Different Types of Ad Agencies

Advertising is one of the earliest concepts of human economic activity. This has developed with the coming of every new technology and continues to grow each day. Drawings, printing, telephone, television and more recently the internet and social media marketing have all made their mark in the history of advertising, and who knows what tomorrow might bring.
Advertising can be done individually, or by the use of a marketing agency. Depending on the kind of product or service that you wish to market, and the population that you wish to meet in terms of the strata of the population as well as whether the population is local or if you are looking for a worldwide distribution, you will want an ad agency that is able to handle your proposal effectively as well as reach the target population.

You will also have to make this choice based on the advertising strategy that you think is efficient for you and thus make sure that the agency you chose is specialized in this aspect of advertising.

[quote]Ad agencies are normally classified based on the media that they specialize in, and because of this classification, it is easy to see ad agencies that specialize in television ads, radio ads, newspaper ads and more recently web and new media ads. [/quote]

Marketing agencies are usually classified based on their scope. You might want to check if the agency serves a particular location as in a Orlando marketing agency or if the agency is has a global network and therefore a wider reach.

However in marketing, the term “type of advertising” is used to describe the primary focus of the advertising message and it can be classified as:

Product-Oriented Advertising

Image Advertising

Advocacy Advertising

Public Service Advertising

Therefore we can infer from these that type of advertising agencies will also fall within these categories.

Product-Oriented advertising

A product can be an idea, a service or a good that is the result of a company’s or a person’s activity. Product oriented advertising refers to advertising that is meant to promote this product or service to a particular audience. Here Ad agencies may use informative advertising to furnish information about the product; persuasive advertising where the approach is to try and convince people to buy, and comparative advertising that tries to show consumers how the product compares with others on the market.

Image advertising

Image advertising is the type of advertising that focuses on building up a company’s image to make it more attractive among its peers. They use strategy that increases the importance of a company and as such do not focus on particular products. This strategy is usually used in cases where a company has taken on a new name due to mergers or change of ownership, or due to negative publicity a company may need to rebrand itself.

Advocacy Advertising

These are usually advertising efforts that use the company’s public stance to voice certain opinions as concerns them or their future. In this way they companies can even sway public opinions on political issues and other debates that may affect them in one way or the other.

Public Service Advertising

These adverts are usually free of charge depending on the country and the policy of the agency that handles the advert. They are usually for the public good. It is important for nongovernmental organizations and humanitarian organizations to publicize themselves and to call for financial resources and personnel such as volunteers.

There are ad agencies that do not specialize in any one of these sectors, but embrace all the different sectors. There are also some that specialize in one or two of these and it will usually be to the advantage of the advertiser to choose the marketing agency whose profile is adapted to the kind of advertising he wishes to undertake.

How Marketing Helps Companies
How Marketing Helps Companies

According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, marketing can be defined as the management process that identifies, anticipates and satisfies customer requirements profitably. With this definition, we can see that marketing is essential to the success of a company.
To take this a step further, we can say that marketing even begins before the production process as it helps the entrepreneur identify what the customer needs and also to see to it that the production meets the demands in quantity as well as in quality. It can also be said that it also involves the promotion of the products as well as the distribution.

Therefore all the strategies that a business uses to boost sales and improve profits can be described as marketing. To be precise, we can say that marketing is composed of Advertising, Sales, Building and maintaining customer relations and business development strategies. Therefore in order to understand how marketing helps companies, it is imperative to understand the part that each of these processes affect a company. We have seen this with our Orlando marketing agency and hope it helps you.

Sales

The end point of every economic activity is not only to make sure that the final product or service becomes available to the consumers, but that the consumers may buy, use it and then come back for more. The people that are in direct contact with the consumers are the salesmen, and getting a good sales strategy can do a lot to put a company far ahead on competition and help it make profits.

Advertising

Advertising is the process of making a brand known by giving information to people about the brand, as well as by creating it a place in the society. Good advertising will usually end up creating a jingle, a color, a picture or a lifestyle that becomes associated with the product or service and will trigger a response of recognition from the consumer once these triggers are seen or heard, even before seeing the product. Great advertising has been known to improve the performance of many businesses, and the most successful companies and products are usually recognized as such.

Customer relations

Good customer relations can set a company way above their competitors. This includes dealing with customers issues like follow up of orders as well as in answering their questions and calming their doubts. It may also have to do with troubleshooting with them to find solutions to problems they might have encountered in using your product or service.

Business development

The business development team identifies, proposes and overseas ideas that should help to give the company a bigger share in the market. They are usually concerned with product improvement and the creation of new products. The business development team usually studies the market, talk to customers to know what they need and try to create products that satisfy them better.

Adjustments

Sometimes, even well thought out marketing strategies may not work, and the company will need to change its tactics in dealing with either the product or the market. Adjustment is a marketing strategy that tries to identify what is going wrong, and to make proposals for addressing the problem and proposing new strategies.

In order to profit from these strategies, companies need to use a marketing section of their company that will apply and integrate all these different sectors of marketing and help the company apply them or consult with an external marketing agency that will bring expert help to work with them on all these sectors to ensure that they meet their target, become profitable and grow.

Alternative Marketing Strategies
Alternative Marketing Strategies

The average person has five social media accounts, and if we told you how much time they spent on each one, you probably wouldn’t believe us. It’s time to create some unique methods for reaching new customers that your company has probably never used before. Into the world of alternative marketing, we go!

The growth of the internet and the way it has become integrated into daily life means that it can be creatively sourced as a marketing tool and e-marketing has developed from this as an important alternative strategy. The attractiveness of online marketing is that it is cost effective and makes it much easier to target a specific group with a certain marketing pitch.

Going online has a lot of intrinsic advantages also. Most of it is related to the web design ideas that you choose to integrate into your site, be it an e-commerce site or an informational website. If your website is expertly designed and developed to be beautiful, user-friendly and with well thought-out and targeted keywords, you may benefit from web marketing strategies without paying anyone. Regularly updating your site and creating links to other sites, as well as encouraging inbound links, is a cost- and time-efficient tactic that can help bring traffic and ultimately result in increased sales.

Some of today’s most effective alternative marketing strategies involve the use of social media. With social media, you can join existing communities or create new communities and in turn a brand following, offering products to people on a relational basis. For example, Snap Inc., Snapchat’s parent company, had the largest IPO since 2014, with a market evaluation of $24 billion. That being said, investors aren’t the only ones keeping a close eye on the social media platform—marketers are, too. Here you are able to communicate with clients in a whole new way and offer your products in an informal atmosphere. When used properly, social marketing doesn’t even look like marketing at all.
