Webwindows | How to Boost Traffic With Newspaper Advertising
A recent research commissioned by Google and conducted by Clark, Martire & Bartolomeo has thrown up some interesting facts related to newspaper advertising. According to the report, consumers often research products and services on the Internet after they see them advertised in the newspapers. The study indicates that two-thirds of the people turn to the Internet to research for more information for the products advertised in the newspaper. Then again, 70 percent of the people from this group actually do make purchases following the research.
The results of the research aptly demonstrate the importance of advertising in newspapers and other print media to boost online sales. Earlier research on the subject also points to the fact that newspapers continue to dominate as popular mediums of advertising for consumers in the USA and the UK.
Confirming this trend, John F. Sturm, Newspaper Association of America (NAA) president and CEO, said, “The study also shows the trust consumers place in newspaper ads and the benefits of advertising in both mediums to reinforce consumer confidence in those products and services.”
All said, the study lends support to the belief that the print media plays a powerful role in driving and motivating people to conduct additional research on the Internet for more information. In other words, this means that newspaper advertising is an effective method to drive traffic to websites. Combine newspaper advertising with online advertising and what you get is more consumers purchasing your offerings. Both forms of advertising reinforce consumer confidence in the products and services.
One reason for the impact of newspapers in advertising is that newspapers form an integral part of people’s daily experiences. Given the type of consumer interactions that are now taking place online in social networking sites, it becomes all the more important to reinforce brand images and direct responses through newspaper advertising.
It is not without reason that more and more companies are today turning to the print media as an effective channel for their advertising campaigns. That newspaper advertising plays an important role in increasing web traffic, is reiterated by the figures released in the report. Of all the people who researched the product advertised in the newspaper, 67 percent went online to search for more information. Compare this figure to 48 percent who visited a store, 23 percent who called a store and 23 percent who asked a friend and you will realize the power of newspaper advertising in driving traffic to websites.
Around 48 percent of the people polled for the study revealed that their trust level towards a product advertised online increased manifold when they saw it advertised in the newspaper also.
Given the above, it becomes clear that if you want to succeed online you must advertise offline also. So if you want to increase traffic to your website, advertise your site in the newspapers and magazines. In the UK, you can advertise your services through Web Windows, an online company that ensures that every advertising pound you spend is spent wisely. Through them, you can have your advertisement placed in all major newspapers in the UK at very cost effective rates. So advertise your online business in all the major newspapers in the UK and see the results in the form of increased numbers of web enquiries, increase in sales, increased number of repeated purchases and improved customer loyalty and long-term competitive advantage.

Banner Advertisement Explained
Banner advertisement is perhaps the oldest and most common mode of advertisement in the world wide web (www). In its simplest form – it acts like a billboard, spreading a promotional message and helping interested visitors to jump to relevant web-site.
Difference between a physical billboard and on-line banner advertisement lies in ability of the later to measure campaign effectiveness. Unlike traditional ad media like TV or print where measuring audience response is difficult – its possible to obtain clear and accurate measurements of success or failure of on-line ads through web traffic analysis.
How good is banner advertisement for your business ? Should you adopt this known and trusted method or go for new ones like search engine based PPC ? The answer lies in your requirement and an understanding of what banner advertisement can deliver.
Let us discuss various concepts associated with on-line advertisement and analyze how banner advertisement works.
What Kind of On-Line Advertisement Suits my Business ?
There are three major reasons for creating online advertising campaign. These are:
*Building brand awareness
*Increasing website traffic
*Creating leads and sales
You need to analyze your precise requirements and prioritize the objectives of planned ad campaign. If the objective is brand building or pure promotion – banner advertisement is ideally suited. However, if you are more keen on leads and sales – targeted advertisements such as search engine marketing could be better option. In many cases – a mix of banner ad and search engine marketing could be the answer. One can find more information on Internet advertisement, specially in the context of export import trade and b2b portals here .
Key Concepts Associated with On-Line Advertisement:
Before proceeding any further, it is important to understand a few key concepts associated with on-line advertisements in general and banner advertisement in particular.
Impression:
Impression is a measure of how many times an ad has been viewed. How many people have viewed a banner ad or received an “impression” by seeing the ad – is a measurement of responses from the ad delivery system. Once a visitor has viewed a banner on a web page – an impression is recorded. Banner views are different from page views in the sense that there may be multiple banner views within one page view. There’s another distinction between page
view and banner view – some banner serving software do not count a banner view unless the visitor stays on the page long enough for the banner to be fully downloaded from ad server.
CPM:
CPM refers to cost per thousand (M here stands for ‘Mille’ – the Roman numeral used to represent 1000). CPM is commonly used by the advertising industry to describe how many people have viewed the banner ad (ad view) or received an “impression” by seeing the ad. In other words, this is the price an advertiser pays for displaying his/her banner 1,000 times.
For example, an advertising rate of $10 CPM, means the advertiser is paying $10 for every 1,000 impressions, or $0.01 for each banner impression.
CTR or Click-Through:
When a visitor gets interested in promotional message of a banner, he/she clicks on it to learn more and is automatically transported to advertiser’s website. Every time someone clicks on the banner, it is called a “click- through,” and the “click-through rate” is expressed in terms of percentage of users who click on an advertisement (i.e. ratio of ad clicks to ad impressions). In other words, click through ratio is an indication of a banner’s effectiveness.
How Advertiser Pays for Banner Advertisement Universally, there are two modes of payment for banner ad – CPM
Click-Through:
In India – there’s a third mode of payment based on duration of time a banner is hosted on a web-site. Typically, special server-based software called ‘ad-server’ rotates banner ads in specified places of a web-site. It also keep track of impressions, click-thorough and other vital statistics.
In CPM mode of payment – advertiser pays for number of impressions based on an agreed CPM. For example, if a site charges US$ 9 per CPM – for $450 the advertiser gets $450 / $9 CPM *
1000 = 50,000 impressions
If percentage of click thorough is 2 – 4%, advertiser may expect ~ 1000 – 2000 new customers visiting his/her web-site. This is apart from brand building based on number of impressions.
In Click-Through mode – Advertisers pays a fixed fee for every click, no matter what is the number of impressions.
In time-based banner advertisements (typical in India), advertiser pays a fixed fee based on monthly or quarterly rate, irrespective of the number of impression or click-thorough.
Types of Banners Advertisements:
Traditional banner ads were static in nature – usually a .gif or .jpeg image file. With technology advancing – new modes of banner ads appeared in ad scene. Following are some of the popular modes of non-static banner ads
Expanding – Banner gets bigger on clicking – often have a button labeled “Expand”. Rather than jumping to another website – these banners simply open up and reveal more information.
Animated – Common mode of banner ad these days. However, too many images/messages may render such banners hopelessly large in size, slow and downright irritating. Exercise caution on banner design.
Drop-Down Menu – These have embedded HTML and allow the user to choose options from a drop-down menu. This mode of banner is ideal for co-op advertising where several businesses can advertise together.
Interstitial – These appear in a separate window as the website loads. These ads often contain large graphics, animation, and streaming presentations.
Java, Flash, and Shockwave – These allow for rich media presentation including video and audio. Common browser toolbars such as Alexa, Google etc. suppress this type of banners Floating Ads and DHTML – These banners float over the content a website and generally perceived as intrusive, although they do get a high click-through rate.
Unicast – These are just like little TV ads that run in a separate window.
Checklist for Banner Designers:
Here’s a few things to keep in mind while creating banner ad Make it smaller in size: preferably under 12K. This way – the banner will be quick to load.
Keep it Simple: Stay simple. Don’t get too complicated with heavy text and confusing colors.
Make it Easy-to-read:
Always use ALT tags for text display on those surfing without images Verify that the banner clicks-through to the appropriate page on your website Limit your use of animation Include a call to action (e.g. Order Now, Visit Web-Site etc.) Test your banners in different browsers at different screen resolutions.
Get your web designer to make your banner ads for you in a variety of standard sizes if you are not experienced in advertising.
Conclusion:
Lack of targeting and visitor apathy are two major drawbacks of banner ad campaigns. Because of large scale use or misuse – visitors today treat banners as necessary evil and pay little attention. Click through rate of banner ads are much lower compared to other forms of on-line advertisement such as targeted search engine marketing. However, banner ads are more effective in brand building and work very well when the creative is attractive and ad delivery systems can do some targeting.

Airplane Advertising Creates A Stronger Bang For The Buck
In today’s competitive, yet difficult, business world there are many options for advertising. Unfortunately, banner advertising might not even enter the picture for business owners looking for advertising options. But it should.
When done well, airplane advertising can be more effective than other forms of advertising, turning a simple ad into dollars and customers for the advertiser. While advertisers often think about radio advertising, newspaper advertising, television and even billboard advertising, they often don’t even consider banner advertising.
And that’s a mistake. Let’s look at why airplane banners create advertising that’s effective in several ways.
Cost
Airplane advertising creates a stronger bang for the buck than other forms of advertising. While you might pay for a radio ad each time it’s on the radio, or a premium for a good billboard in a freeway location, with banner advertising, you pay for the banner once and then only pay a small charge each time that banner is flown.
Today, more and more advertisers are giving up on advertising altogether, but that’s a mistake. Businesses can’t make money and bring in new (and returning) customers without getting the word out. But in today’s economy, it’s essential to get the word out with the most affordable method. Aerial advertising provides that.
Novelty
We are bombarded with advertising each day. We hear it on the radio on the way to work, see it on the television as we watch each evening and read it in magazines, newspapers and on signs. It seems that everywhere we turn someone is trying to sell us something.
Of course, aerial banners are also selling or promoting something, but the method of delivering that message is so novel people pay attention. While you might barely hear most of the ads that are played on the radio and might flip past ads in magazines, when a flying banner is seen overhead, you look to the sky and make note of what you see.
Memory
That’s right, memory. People remember banner ads in a way they just don’t remember most other forms of advertising. This is likely due to two things – the novelty of the advertising and the attention we pay to the ads themselves.
As we discussed above, the novelty of aerial advertising gets attention. It’s not as common to see a banner airplane in the sky as it is to see and hear other forms of advertising, so we naturally pay attention.
Aside from the novelty, however, people remember airplane advertising much better than other forms of advertising. Some studies have shown that most people keep an aerial ad in their minds much longer than they do other forms of advertising, which means people are more likely to act in some fashion that benefits the advertiser.
Although advertisers have many options for their advertising dollar, and most experts suggest that advertisers diversify their advertising methods, it’s a common sense decision to include aerial advertising in the mix.

Creative Advertising to Make Money Online
Business entrepreneurs that advertise online know that a well thought-out creative advertising campaign has been, and is, the groundwork to make money online and the foundation stone of many internet fortunes
Casual advertising is a waste of money and effort. Some business entrepreneurs know how to advertise online so as to get the full worth of their money; others spend more money but get no apparent returns. Increasing the online advertising budget for a home based internet business doesn’t necessarily increase the change to make money online. How to advertise, what to advertise and when to advertise; these are the three questions that present themselves to the internet entrepreneur, which, if answered correctly, will bring him undoubted success. There are many ways of implementing successful creative advertising strategies and the novice in the business finds himself perplexed as to which to adopt. But let him consult anyone who has made a fortune through advertising, and in 99 out of 100 cases he will learn that the medium of success was the advertising method, be it online or offline; using the internet, the printed media or the air waves.
In marketing not only the applicable advertising strategy, but also the approach is very important, it has to be done fearlessly. It is a useless technique to go into a crowd and raise a weak scream which is drowned in the general clamor. It will not help either trying to imitate the approach of ancient times market vendors who in crying fish for the first time would not lift their voices for fear any one should hear them. Fear is not a good conductor to make money online for any kind of business.
There is another sense in which every online advertising entrepreneur should be brave. He should have confidence in promotion, should be quite certain that if he throws his bread upon the waters he must find it, even if it be “after many days”. It is the half-hearted people who fail. You cannot break the bank in a casino by risking half-crowns on “red” or “black”. These timid people are the victims of advertising adventurers, people who start papers specially to meet their case. They are known not to be able to resist the bait of a cheap advertisement, and will give a typical order for “100,000 guaranteed visitors to your site for 99 cents” with vast satisfaction, thinking they have driven a hard bargain. So they have for themselves. Low price advertising campaigns normally mean limited traffic and exposure; and that in its turn implies that an advertiser in search of publicity might as well publish his advertisement up on thin air. A good keyword at 4 dollars a click in a Google campaign is a better speculation than 100,000 guaranteed visitors for 99 cents.
A creative advertising strategy has to attract and maintain attention. Anyone of a thousand online ads may serve to catch the eye and fix the attention for an instant, but only the creative advertisements are the ones read, marvel about and remembered, and when the reader wants any particular item or service he surfs to the place where it is advertised to be on sale and clicks.
The time to carry out online advertising is all the time: an advertisement is never idle; it is sending traffic, potential costumers to your online business while you are asleep, or while you are away on a vacation. The best time to launch a creative advertising campaign is when your home based internet business is getting a little dull, when customers are few and hard to please. Than it is time to stir up business and force it to come your way.
Business entrepreneurs who no longer advertise online because business is dull are like the man who neglects to mend a leaky roof in dry weather because it doesn’t leak then..He better ought to make money online in all kinds of weather.

Online Advertising
Online advertising is a form of promotion that uses the Internet and World Wide Web for the expressed purpose of delivering marketing messages to attract customers. Examples of online advertising include contextual ads on search engine results pages, banner ads, Rich Media Ads, Social network advertising, online classified advertising, advertising networks and e-mail marketing, including e-mail spam.
Online video directories for brands are a good example of interactive advertising. These directories complement television advertising and allow the viewer to view the commercials of a number of brands. If the advertiser has opted for a response feature, the viewer may then choose to visit the brand’s website, or interact with the advertiser through other touch points such as email, chat or phone. Response to brand communication is instantaneous, and conversion to business is very high. This is because in contrast to conventional forms of interruptive advertising, the viewer has actually chosen to see the commercial.

If the advertiser has opted for a response feature, the viewer may then choose to visit the brand’s website, or interact with the advertiser through other touch points such as email, chat or phone. Response to brand communication is instantaneous, and conversion to business is very high. This is because in contrast to conventional forms of interruptive advertising, the viewer has actually chosen to see the commercial.
