Online Advertising For Dummies
Whether you are checking your email, shopping on a website or just searching for information, online ads are everywhere! A new marketing landscape, the Internet offers a new and cheaper advertising space, as compared to traditional spaces like print, television, radio and outdoor advertising. It’s a revolution of sorts and small and home business owners are making the most of it.
For a home based start up, online advertising is a potent tool that can maximize visibility, drive traffic to the company’s website, up the sales and build a solid brand in the process. Just remember the twin mantras of focus on what you want and a strong dose of imagination; and you’ll be on your way. Online advertising must also follow some basic rules. Know what you want your advertising to do, where to get it and what to do with it once you have it.
1. Define your advertising objective: Think why you need to advertise. Clearly define the goals you want your advertising program to achieve. Is it generating new leads, increasing the number of hits on your website, making your company visible in the market place or to increase on/off -line sales? Each goal will have a different advertising path. You can only expect your program to maximize returns, if you know for sure what you want your advertising to do.
2. Tailor the message for your target audience: Craft your message to appeal to the target audience. Your message for a visitor on a trade forum’s website would be different from what you say to the guy clicking on your ad on a home business site. The trick here is to align your message to the mindset of your audience. Equally important is that the message should convey the promotional goals your advertising desires to accomplish. So if you are selling ice to an Eskimo shopping in an Internet mall, don’t forget to mention the discount on your season sale!
3. Be Creative: Your most valuable asset in this crowd is your creativity, which will make your ad stand out. Be creative not only in the copy, but also in the placement of the advertisement. An online contact lens clinic pulls hundreds of people every day to take an eye test with a simple ad. The small 1″ X 2″ banner says, ” Think You Don’t Need an Eye Test?” in the same format as you see on the reading sheet in an optometrist’s clinic, with alphabets running vertically in a decreasing order. Add depth to your advertisement by using rich media like HTML, DHTML, Java and layered ads. Use animated messages doubled with pull down menus for better use of space and for expanding possibilities of response.
4. Choose the advertising medium well: Your ads should do more than just wiggle and pop. To maximize response, choose the advertising medium carefully. You have several choices like banner ads, contextual advertising, ezine advertising etc. Research and read on various formats and the factors for each one’s success. Choose the vendor. If you have decided on banner advertising, research and list the websites that would give you the maximum exposure to the right kind of audience. Check out the option of using advertising networks and the pay-per-click options as well. Once your campaign has been set in motion, take care to monitor response and be ready to change or completely redo your copy and the advertising vehicles you use. Keep a track of the ROI (Return on Investment) for every advertising purchase that you make. This way you can figure out which forms of advertising are working for you and which ones aren’t.

Television Calibration
Samsung LE32A656 calibration?
Hi, does anyone out there have any knowledge of the Samsung LE32A656 TV settings? The picture seems a bit snowy, and at times pixely. I have had a go at tampering with the settings but made things worse.
I am using a normal bog standard sky box and freeview, but neither of these have so far given me a decent enough picture.
So my television looks good, but the picture is rubbish. An awfully big spend for a cruddy picture
Following the answers given so far I feel the need to add that I have already asked the question on avforums and a couple of other sites with absolutley no response, and the youtube link given is for a completely different model with no bearing on my question whatsoever
Another customer heard from.
Isn’t this NEW technology wonderful?
