As you know there are Endless ways to advertise Offline and Online (internet).

Both have their pro’s and con’s when using them to advertise your organization. But you need to recognize that having a marketing tactic is just the foundation!

There are key things you need to gain from your marketing efforts to really create the most effective advertising system viable.These are the requirements you need to have to construct effective advertisements…

I. Tracking development is the first phase to effective advertisements and is more vital than most people think

1. You need to know how many times people actually look at, read or watch the
marketed material (your ad).

2. How many of those persons actually inquired about your product or service?

3. How many of the individuals turned in to actual buyers?

4. Which advertisement produced one of these actions by potential customers?

II. Update the ad content / verbiage (split test)

– Based off of your ad tracking you will know how effective each ad that you have placed is.

This will allow you to see if you just need to make a minor change to the ad or if you will create an entirely new ad. There is no flawless way to state anything and the age, location and gender of the potential
buyers will influence the way that your ad is perceived and evaluated. Giving a perfect reason to do a “split test” by taking an creating an identical ad and changing just one thing. This detail can be as clear-cut as punctuation, capital vs. lower case, removing or adding a word or a different headline. It’s amazing the way one quick change in the verbiage or punctuation of the ad can change the effectiveness.

What you are trying to accomplish is to continue split testing to improve the

III. Target Your Audience (age groups, gender, location, etc)

– The most critical thing you need to do is target your ideal client so you aren’t trying to sell steak to a vegetarian.You need to hit the ideal demographic for your product or service, and if you don’t know what that is you can find out.

Advertising to anyone outside of your ideal demographic of people will be throwing money out the window. As an example, if you want to strictly market to a local audience you have to make sure that your advertisements aren’t seen on a countrywide range. groups~Targeting can be getting noticed by certain groups} and targeting by hiding your {ads~can be staying hidden} from certain people which isincredibly important in order to be cost sensitive.

IV. Be Seen & Stand out

– The fact is you have to be leveraging methods that will allow you to be seen. advertising can only work if people actually see the ad.} Meaning you have to not only use the most effective advertising methods to get your marketing out, but you have to “Stand Out”. If you are using banner ads you would want to have eye catching colors or an ad that has flashing/moving elements. Or if you are using a text ad you’d want to make sure to show that you have the best prices, quickest service, great customer feedback or how your service solves a specific problem. Create a call to action, make that person WANT to click on your ad. Why do you think so many people pick-up the newest “Cosmopolitan” and “Men’s Health” magazine? Their headlines always get your attention

V. Be Cost sensitive

– This may be apparent but so many people fail to remember that you need to keep an eye on and update your ads in all of your marketing efforts. If you are not watching closely you might be throwing money into ad’s that aren’t effective. The idea is to fine-tune your advertisement until you are making more than you are spending.

Here’s an example…

You have the flu and you just purchased and used 2 kinds of cold medicines.

Now tell me, which one actually worked? You can’t!

There is no way of knowing which of the two medicines you had taken actually did what you needed to feel better. So now next time you get a cold you will most likely buy both of the medicines again. What this has accomplished is now instead of purchasing the 1 medicine that worked for you; you are buying both and just throwing money away.

VI. Become Automated

– Having automated advertising will make sure that every opportunity created from your marketing efforts is being worked. Whether you answer them by phone or email is up to you.

And I know what you’re thinking “you can’t hire someone around the clock to answer the phones for you”. Well you can and I’ll go over that another time. Your time is important and valuable so we want to be cost effective and apply marketing that can be updated quickly and does the work while you sleep.

– Target Your viewers (age groups, gender, location, etc)
