Advantages of Pay Per Click Advertising
There are several points that make pay per click advertising a vital part of your business. Here are five.
The most important reason for you to begin a pay per click advertising campaign is to lure customers away from your competitors. It works on the principle that when people do an internet search about anything, they tend to limit their exploration to the first few results from amongst the thousands or millions of returns against their search. But when you use website pay per click advertising, this ensures that your entry comes near the top of the search results page, which in turn means that people are definitely going to have a look at your entry and perhaps even follow it up. Thus, pay per click advertising allows you to nullify your rival businesses.
A great advantage is the fact that with pay per click advertising you will be able to have a top position for your ads right from the beginning. This will save you a lot of time with your web development. However the disadvantage is that you will need to pay quite a bit for a good position.
Pay per click advertising will increase exposure for your website. Your little ad will appear on the right hand side of the search page in Google. This makes your ad get noticed and makes it more likely that the reader will click on your ad’s link.
Niche markets are especially suitable for pay per click advertising. This is because your campaigns are customized when you choose highly targeted keywords. In this way you will be able to draw many targeted visitors to your website. This is because pay per click advertising is the quickest way to find your niche market buyers. Your website will prosper as it rapidly ascends to the top of the search engines. There is no faster way to get targeted visitors to your website.
Lastly pay per click advertising can save you money. This is because only those who actually click through on your ad need to be paid for. With other forms of advertising you just pay for the ad regardless of whether the readers take action. However with pay per click you just pay for visitors who take action and this can save you a lot of money.
But a parting word of advice. Unless you have a huge advertising budget or are otherwise absolutely certain of the returns that your advertisement investment fetches you, it is best that you try to optimize your pay per click investment and get the best value for your money. We therefore recommend that you should try and ensure that your advertisement entry appears between the third and eighth spots on the first page of the search results. This allows you to save money by not having to pay exorbitantly for the first two spots, but without at the same time having to compromise on the actual effectiveness and pull of your advertisement. If you can ensure this, pay per click advertisement shall definitely work for your business and you shall reap rich dividends.

Advertising Tidbits
Techniques such as newsletters allow you a forum where you can talk at length about your services and specials. They are easy to produce and cost effective. Using the digital way is more effective than print. It is a good way to keep customers informed about your recent specials. They also help generate interest in new destinations and packages that you are offering.
A computer is the only piece of equipment you will need to create a newsletter. You can use office software like Microsoft Office (which includes a number of newsletter templates that you can create to your liking. Add your own creativity and words). There are two kinds of newsletters used by travel professionals. 1) Informational and 2) Hotsheets.
Informational Newsletters
They contain new travel packages and destinations, travel tips, advisories, biographies of the owner and staff if possible. It will also include whatever is of importance to the traveler, like profiles of selected destinations, checklist and quizzes. You can use them for prospecting potential clients. Newsletters inform and touch base with existing clients regularly. This is good especially around peak vacation season.
HotSheets
They are more like an additional edition. They provide “breaking news” about tour operators and airline specials. They talk about in house specials and other time sensitive information. It is best worked through by e-mail.
Featured Articles
The fact that you own a travel business makes you an expert in the eyes of someone who does not. Use this information to start publishing articles. You may never have been published before but do not let that stop you! The fact is lots of editors like getting material that is made just for their lifestyles section. They love it when it is unsolicited submission because it is usually free. That is what usually happens when it is promotional and talks about a topic that is relevant. The editors may even fix minor errors,place a headline on it and put it into their lifestyle section. If you are blessed, it may go into the travel section.
This does not mean you can write gibberish and expect an editor to accept your writing. Only if they are minor corrections might they do it. Otherwise, right into the trash it goes. Newsletters, informational articles, how-tos and checklist are always popular with newspapers and magazine editors. Make sure your headline stands out from the rest.
Public Speaking should help you quickly make a name for yourself in the travel industry. Make sure that you leave plenty of business cards at the podium and registration table. By doing this, there is a good chance someone will call you when ready to book their next trip or vacation. Look for organizations that include the type of clients you are looking for. As far as pay is concerned there won’t be much. The amount will be small or nothing at all. This is similar to what you make doing feature articles. The rewards may seem small in the beginning but when the business starts picking up because of your speaking engagements, it will be well worth it.
Check into other entrepreneur start up groups and give your experience testimony on starting up a business. Look into the local libraries for speaking engagements and other groups that are similar to your target market. Lastly, know your audience and give appropriate information and hopefully that will help your advertising.

Laws That Guide Successful Business Advertising
Advertising is both an art and a science that entrepreneurs must master and understand its core fundamentals in order to maximize the rewards of advertising. Effective small business administration figures indicate that a successful small business must allocate 5% of the entrepreneur’s gross sales on advertising. However, this will only be beneficial if the entrepreneur understands the laws of advertising.
Small business advertising laws:
a) Pass one message at a time
To see a high response rate, you must pass one message at a time. The message should be simple, compelling and needs to be quick. The message need only be five seconds long and can drive massive traffic to your site.
b) Message conveyed must be credible
Many humans distrust advertising because over ages, advertisers have focused on misinforming the public, conveying lies and half-truths and data that is not credible. False advertising is a total waste of advertising money because even after managing to drive a customer to your site and you cannot deliver, there is no revenue gained. Place facts in your message and if the content is detailed, you may consider providing references.
c) Always test everything
Before diving to advertise your product, it is in the best interest of your business to test the advertisement to avoid wasting capital resources in advertising that may backfire. Since small businesses do not have much money to invest in advertising, planning and testing is crucial. You can carry out test advertisements to measure timing, headline and ad placement using special offers, code, coupons and direct customer contact. Another point to note is that you should test only one product at a time.
d) Maintain easy contact with customers
In every advertisement, brochure, email, catalogue or company literature, ensure that you include the business contacts and any necessary information including email and website addresses, fax and phone numbers and physical address. This may sound simple but many businesses focus on the content and end up forgetting the vital contact part.
e) Match every advertisement to the target audience
To have a successful advertising campaign, your advertisement must focus on specific audience and be customized to speak to the target directly. This will make the audience have faith that the advertisement was crafted with them in mind and will have more drive to follow through with the message than a generalized advertisement that has no focus.
f) Curiosity – make the customers want to know more
Affordable advertising does not seek to educate the customer about a product to the extent of making them choose whether to buy or not to buy it. Instead, it should provide basic concepts and inciting information to drive the target to want to know more about that business or product. It is wise to create ads that will make the prospective customers curious to want to know more about you and therefore come to get the specifics.
If your advertisement does not pay back, never lay the blame on the advertising medium, it is the message. Always start small and fix advertising problems as you encounter them. A good advertising strategy demands research, planning, testing and constant improvement to succeed.

Proper Advertising With Banners
There are hue and cries over reduction of effect of banner advertisements. But, that is not true. Still, advertisers show craving for media rich banners. Industry specialist Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, in a web article published at Web Marketing Today on March 31, 2009, observed that there might be some misconception regarding assessing banner ads. In brief, his observations are as follows:
Banner view or impression is the number of times it is viewed. For some analytics, it is same as page hit or page view; however some do not consider a banner being viewed unless the viewer stays on the page till the banner is fully downloaded.
In most of the ads, a graphic is hyperlinked to the URL of the advertiser. In comparison to graphics or static graphic images, animated rich-media banners reportedly attract more viewers to the webpage of advertisers.
Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) has suggested for standardization of banner sizes in their Ad Unit Guidelines. They have recommended sizes as follows:
a) 300×250 (Medium Rectangle),
b) 180×150 (Rectangle),
c) 728×90 (Leader board), and
d) 160×600 (Wide Skyscraper).
But, advertisers seldom following the guidelines.
The design should influences visitors to click a banner to reach the advertiser’s website. The number of clicks determines the overall performance. Cookies determine for the advertisers precisely which banner is converting into a sale. Therefore, cookies are the tools to judge the performance. Run of Site (ROS) may be cheaper option of advertising with banners.
The author has also suggested some tools to measure performance in the same article. They are the followings:
Each banner can be traced up to the sale point with help of cookies. This is the most common practice in web ad industry. Ad links can be tracked by analytics tools like Google Analytics by insertion of requisite coding. Banners create brand awareness among internet surfers. Yet, the degree of awareness generation is hard to be quantified unless surveyed with questionnaires.
Low cost banner production, offering affiliate programs and developing highly enticing banner ad are some other means the author has suggested. Otherwise, according to the author, switching to text based pay per click advertisements will be the only resort.
