Why Online Advertising?
1. Make your contribution to saving the planet..
Online advertising does not utilize paper and therefore saves more trees. Less paper, less trees to sacrifice, less wastage, and less cost.
2. A moments silence for the printed directory…
Consumers today utilize the internet to find info that they are looking for and lets face it the internet will never die but is growing steadily by the day. By strategically advertising online, companies are able to capture more customers.
3. Online ads grab more attention than print.
Consumers pay much more attention to digital/online ads because they are much more interactive and readers put a high value on ads that let them connect directly with advertisers. Online advertisements are much more exciting as they can incorporate rich media or video.
4. Reach more consumers/potential customers internationally by advertising online.
With a web presence, people can find you more easily and also easily refer their friends to your website
5. Cut your costs by advertising online.
Advertising online is far more cost effective than preparing, printing and mailing paper brochures.. With online advertising, you can potentially reach millions of people. With paper advertising, reaching the same amount of people would be much more expensive. For the price of just a few print advertisements you could advertise an entire year online.
6. Networking is made easier ...
You could do it in your pyjamas! Join groups such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and other online networking sites. If you are a writer, join book club sites where you can promote your book. Join sites that are beneficial to you and your own online advertising with ease.....and you don't have to wear a tie!
7. No business hour restrictions
...just a 24 hour service everyday including weekends and holidays. With online advertising you can offer your customers a 24-hour service because your ad never goes to sleep or requests any leave. People work in different schedules and are online at different hours of the day and night. Advertising online gives people unlimited access to your company and your products even when you are asleep.
8. Open the lines of communication between you and your customers/potential customers.
With online advertising you can get feedback from your customers by sending questions through the online site allowing them to ask or answer questions when it is convenient for them, but also allows you to answer when it is convenient for you.
9. Content can be updated more regularly, even as often as an hourly basis.
You do not have to wait for the next print run and can run more promos on as often as a daily or even hourly basis.
10. Online advertising allows the advertiser to track how many people see your online ad.
It is impossible to get a good idea of how many people see advertising through traditional means. Tracking the reach of newspaper and television advertisments is difficult. With an accurate stats report on the hits your ad receives, you can see what interests consumers most about your company without you even asking them, thus allowing you to capitalize on what your customers want.
PPC / CPC and PPM/CPM
PPC/CPC - Pay per Click or cost per click. The price is based on the number of clicks your ad receives.In other words, you pay for this ad only if a person clicks on the ad.
PPM / CPM – Pay per 1000 Impression or Cost per 1000 Impression. Costs are based on the number of times the advertisements are
viewed. The M in the acronym is the Roman numeral for a thousand, and as such it is also referred to as Cost per Mille/Thousand Impressions. All these ads are conveniently and easily managed via our dedicated adserver:
