Cincinnati Website Design - Advertisement techniques of Online Marketing

Online, March 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - You may think the only people who will know about your mistake are the ones who are receiving your e-mails. You can track your mistake and check the attention it's getting on social websites. If people are upset, they are going to post it or blog about it in the social world. If you do read some such thing, make sure you address it then and there. Also immediately act via e-mail.

An apology was sent out to everyone on the mailing list and an offer of free shipping and 10% off was provided. As a result, the company saw a 75% open rate, 25% click-through rate and 10% conversion.

Before and after
Illustrations that show improved performance before and after treatment can be persuasive. This technique can be used for double glazing, paint treatments, lawn fertilizers, hair shampoos, chair covers and many other face-lifts. It can be invaluable for services as distinct from products.

Sell the extreme
Often the best way of selling the benefits of a product is to show it in action. And do not stop at the natural use. Go to the extreme. A manufacturer selling outdoor tables to pubs could use a rugby team climbing all over them. The publican would hope that this would never occur, but it would ram home the point of strength.

USP
First favorite among many advertisers is to find and isolate a unique selling proposition, a benefit that you alone possess. Enhance and create that so it contains your main message and appeal. Many products are composed of a mix of different benefits, most of which are embodied in the competition.

Newsworthiness
Newsworthiness is difficult to achieve with long copy dates but the weekly or daily papers will allow your ads to have a topical flavor. You could hit the bull-eye with this if you look ahead and plan. Changes in legislation, budget tax changes, royal events, are all fairly predictable. A carefully worded ad placed on the same day will attract attention. It all needs flair, imagination and sometimes a bit of luck.

Endorsements
The endorsement you use should be easily related to your customer profile. A professional person should be used for selling to technocrats, while housewives must be used for washing-up liquid. The stereotype still rules the world of advertising.

Comparisons
The selection of products is all a matter of comparison. The consumer does it when deciding which product to buy. He looks at the features and benefits. However, until recently it was considered unethical to indulge in comparative advertising - knocking copy.

People matter
People identify with the subject portrayed. Figures in ads tend to be younger, more handsome and virile than in real life. That is poetic license. The women equality organizations are always complaining that you never see a tired, harassed housewife with buttons missing selling products. The reason is that people believe scruffy people sell scruffy goods.

Novelty
An ad can stand out by being out of context. Some unexpected feature pictured in the layout can highlight your message. We are not necessarily back with the nudes but anything you can legitimately pull into your advert that would not normally be expected to be there can be successful. It is our first rule of advertising - attraction.

Cartoons
Picture stories can be very successful. I do not know whether that is a reflection on the low standard of education of the readership or whether cartoons stand out on a page of grey text.

Humor
Anyone who has struggled this far with the narrative will realize I am a firm convert to a touch of humor: perhaps not in ads for undertakers but that still leaves plenty of scope. As not everyone laughs at the same things it does demand a light touch.
