Why Advertise on the Internet?

Reasons To Advertise On The World Wide Web


Support For Other Advertising:  Internet advertising works great with other forms of promotions.  Got a special event coming up?  Put it on the Internet.  Too much to say that won't fit in your Yellow Pages ad?  Insert your web address and finish the job there.  In fact, you can (and should) include your web address in all of your print, display, and broadcast media advertising.  And don't forget to put it on your business cards, brochures and other promotional literature.  An Internet presence is the quickest and most cost-effective way to pick up where other advertising leaves off.

Stand-Alone Advertising:  Accepting the above, one should not underestimate the power of the Internet as a stand-alone advertising medium to sell their products or services or promote their organization or ideas.  The World Wide Web is experiencing explosive growth.  With over 50 million worldwide customers, and growing every day, it is not unreasonable to expect the majority of US households to have access within the next two years.  Even small mom n' pop companies with local walk-in traffic have a legitmate place on the Internet.  The growth of local Internet "malls" is moving the concept of shopping in a new direction.  People now have the ability to place grocery orders, print coupons, and check out products, services, special offers, features, advantages, locations, hours, prices and more in the comfort of their homes using their personal computers.  Don't wait for your competition to get ahead of you.  Get on the "Net today!

Your Company Image:  Internet advertising shows your potential customers that you are a legitimate operation that takes its business seriously.  Even if they never see your website, an address on the World Wide Web stands out in other literature as testimony of your commitment to your business, your product, or service and your reputation and shows that you care enough to reach all markets and keep your customers informed.

Effective Cost Analysis:  Advertising on the Internet is the most cost-effective form of advertising available.  Because of its electronic nature, there are virtually no costs associated with paper, ink, printing, postage, or delivery (as in print media), code compliance, construction materials or laborers (as in display), or antennas, repeaters and satellites (as in broadcast).  And the costs that do exist (personnel, equipment, office space, etc.) are shared by the other media as well.  In short, the overhead is greatly reduced and Internet Presence Providers generally pass on this savings to their customers.  In these times of rising paper costs and tight budgets, Internet advertising provides a sensible way to build a marketing plan that is versatile, expandable, and interactive (see below).  In a cost comparison with direct mail, display, broadcast and print media, Internet advertising winds hands-down, giving you the most bang for the buck of any promotional endeavor.  For a fraction of the cost of a small classified ad in a local paper, you can run a "full page" color display ad to a worldwide audience on the Internet.
