Radio
Almost everyone listens to radio. According to the Radio Advertising Bureau, radio reaches 77 percent of consumers daily, 95 percent of consumers weekly. A radio media buy can cast a very wide net, especially if you're buying network time across stations. Radio is great for brand building and can be good for direct response.
But, it's hard to TRACK and also expensive.
Broadcast / Satellite TV
Sometimes referred to as a "shotgun" medium, TV is great for reaching a lot of people. You can target a demographic and plan media "weight" according to your campaign's goals. For instance, if you are doing an image and awareness campaign, your media weight would be considerably less than if your campaign had a sense of urgency, such as a going-out-of-business sale. Broadcast TV is an established brand-builder. Like radio, people can be moved from television to online.
But, it's hard to TRACK and also very expensive.
Cable TV
Cable TV is more targeted than broadcast. You can buy by cable system. If you're in a metropolitan area and have broadcast television (without cable) in your media mix, your media weight would probably be more balanced by adding cable TV into the mix. The demographics of broadcast and cable TV vary, which must be taken into account.
But, it's hard to TRACK and also expensive.
Print and Outdoor display hoardings and boarding
Advertising in newspapers, magazines, and other print media
and display hoardings and boarding, can build brand awareness. You can build a call to action in the creative. Other opportunities include advertorials. Print
and outdoor displays can be expensive on a cost-per-lead basis.
But, it's hard to TRACK and also very expensive.
Telemarketing
Telemarketing can be effective -- or not -- depending on your target audience. Everyone will agree telemarketing is intrusive. On a cost-per-lead basis,
it can also be expensive.
Advantages of Online ads
1) Largest-scale of broadcast
scope
There is no limit of time or space to an online ad. The
internet delivers the ad information 24 hours non-stop to the
whole world. Anyone at anytime can read the online ad. There
is no other kind of media that can compare with this.
2) Easiest way to exchange information
An online ad is not like traditional media, spreading
information one way only. It can exchange information both
ways. The ad receivers take whatever the information that they
think is useful, and the producers can receive feedback
immediately from consumers through the internet. This is the
biggest advantage of an online ad.
3) Predictable receivers
Internet users are the youngest, the most energetic, and the
highest educated people who also have the strongest purchasing
power. Online ads can help you target directly to the most
possible future customers.
4) Able to count receivers accurately
It is hard to count how many people received your ad through
the traditional media, but through the internet, we can get
accurate statistics from the web hosting system. The producers
also are able to know when and where the receivers have read
their ads. This can provide very useful information to market
researchers, and help producers to estimate the results and
strategies of their ad placing.
5) Can make changes anytime at a low cost
It is very difficult and expensive to make changes after the
ad is broadcast through the traditional media. It is easy to
make changes promptly to suit the clients needs such as new
policies or strategies for their products.
6) Intensive sensory ads
The receivers of online ads can get more information in detail
if they are interested in a product. They can exam the
product's services and brands through multiple media such as
pictures, descriptions and sounds. The most wonderful thing is
that they can place orders, negotiate and settle accounts
right there online. This greatly enhances the results of the
ads.
