Comparing Different Types Of Advertising

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

You may agree that in many ways, communications has caused our planet to decrease in size. A news event anywhere in the world today can be communicated, almost instantly, to almost anyone else in the world. Newspapers, Radio, Television and the Internet have all contributed to this. Like any technology that brings benefits however, unfortunately, there are also downfalls. Our world is one that is overrun with forms of communication. Over the course of an average day we are exposed to news, commercials and advertising through all of these media. The result of this is that we have become conditioned to blocking out all but those items that we are interested in.

This has presented today’s marketers with a challenge. How do they ensure that their target audience responds to the message they are trying to convey? How do they get by the spam-like filters we have all developed to protect ourselves from information overload? This is where News-style Advertising comes in. This style has been created to get past our advertising filters. This is accomplished by presenting the marketers message in a manner more consistent with news. News-style advertising doesn’t appear to be advertising. It has no graphics or pictures. It contains no slogans or logos. There is nothing associated with it that would give the reader any reason to suspect that it is being sponsored by any company or individual. It contains a headline, followed by copy with a method for the reader to get additional information, should they wish to do so.

The reason why this type of advertising is simple and ties back into our mental spam filters. Assume we scan a newspaper or magazine and see something with a Headline that appeals to some issue or problem we are dealing with at that time. Because it is news-like in appearance it is not threatening. Our need drives us to read the article, generally short in nature. This is also appealing since it does not represent a great deal of investment on our part. The response mechanism allows us to get more information if what we have read in the article makes sense to us and represents a viable solution to our issue. It is because it is non-threatening in nature that it is able to generate the response numbers up to 500% better than other techniques.

This very effective form of advertising has actually been incorporated into a robust marketing strategy by one company. This company is Automated Marketing Solutions; or AMS. AMS provides a full package of marketing technology tools and processes that allow your company to deliver a comprehensive marketing program using tested and proven methods including News-Style Advertising.

Arouse Emotions – Does Your Advertising Do This?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

On a daily basis, we are exposed, if not bombarded by, messages and advertisements trying to compel us, and convince us to purchase. The result of all of this exposure is that we become resistant and sometimes immune to advertising messages surrounding us. When we watch the news, listen to the radio, read newspapers or magazines; no matter what form of media, we pay attention to only those things that are of interest to us in our own daily lives. We ignore, and throw out entire sections of a newspaper; we watch only certain portions of television shows, and we either peruse carefully, or throw out the Sports Page depending on our preferences. We have been forced to become selective. Given all of this conditioning the chances of peaking anyone’s advertising interest might seem small. But there are techniques available, that are effective and successful.

Here’s a question that will prove that that last statement is true. Have you ever walked past a news stand and taken a quick glance at the various racks of papers available for that day? No doubt you have and when you did this I’m willing to bet that some of those papers stood out against the rest. That was not an accident on their part. Rather, it is part of a well understood and practiced advertising method.

Over the years, successful advertisers have created many techniques to get your attention. The front page of every Playboy magazine should demonstrate that fact. It’s success has spawned too many other publications to count although many might not be able to lay claim to the I bought it just for the articles justification. The “Man goes out to Howl at the Moon, Sees Saucer and Little Green Men” type headlines we see in the National Enquirer magazine certainly grab our attention too. Each of these demonstrates effective ways of getting and holding our attention. Once this has been accomplished the chances start to increase that we may take the next step and read more.

Marketing research has demonstrated that there is a process that successful marketers follow to help get through the spam advertising filters that people carry around with them today. The first one, as I have already demonstrated, is to get the attention of your target audience with the Headline. Once that has been accomplished you need to elevate their interests and emotions. In the marketing world today there is one company that has actually developed a 5 step process and incorporated it into an extensive marketing program of tools and processes. That company is Automated Marketing Solutions or AMS. AMS provides a full suite of marketing technology tools and processes that allow any company to deliver a comprehensive marketing program using tested and proven methods including emotional type advertising. Their twelve years of experience in Direct Response Marketing ensures that even the beginner can quickly integrate and take advantage of the benefits of this technique. And it doesn’t stop there.

Effective Advertising

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Marketers today all understand that the primary purpose of any advertising is to get a response. It is to attract qualified prospects that can, by using other marketing methods, be converted to customers. It follows therefore that the more prospects that one can attract, the better the chances are that a customer base will grow. Small, medium and large companies all have to accomplish this same goal. How they achieve that goal is what differentiates the successful ones from the short lived ones.

One challenge that small to medium sized companies do have; that large companies generally do not have to contend with, is image. The large companies like Coke, IBM, Microsoft and others all have brand and name recognition. They have the credentials that make them a trusted name. Anything they have to say, we usually trust, will be worth reading, and therefore we respond accordingly. This is not the case with the small to medium companies. Fortunately there are tested and proven mechanisms that can be used to get their message in front of the people that they want it read by.

Throughout the course of our lives we have all been conditioned to respond to certain things. We respond to smiles with smiles. We respond to anger with anger. The word FREE has always been, and will continue to be an attention getting trigger. Although it is not always easy to get those interested in your product or service to contact you and leave you their contact information, it must still be the objective of all of your marketing and advertising. One of the most effective methods of achieving this objective is to offer a Free Report in your advertising material. This method works because it can be done in a non-threatening way that allows people to get access to what they want most; information that will help them deal with an issue they need to address. The Free Report requires that the prospect leave their contact information, which allows you to stay in touch, and at the same time, use other marketing tools to convert them to a customer. The report means they don’t have to deal personally with an individual whose job it is to convince them to purchase, which is something that appeals to them.

There is a company today that not only has incorporated this form of marketing into their products and services but they also train companies on how to build their own special Free Reports. That company is Automated Marketing Solutions; or AMS. AMS provides a full array of marketing technology tools and processes that allow any company to deliver a comprehensive marketing program. They use many tested and proven methods including Free Reports. Their twelve years of experience in Direct Response Marketing ensures that even the beginner can quickly integrate and take advantage of the benefits of this technique. AMS also provides the capability for a company to place their ENTIRE Marketing Program on Auto-pilot. Once a business marketing program (including voice messages, e-mails, faxes and other broadcast and mail out collateral) is compiled and sequenced, their Lead Management System or LMS provides the unique ability to manage and control that program without any further human input. The benefits to this system are significant time savings and consistency in marketing messages, in what would otherwise be labor intensive tasks. It also means that businesses never need worry about losing customers who misinterpreted your lack of contact for lack of interest.
