What is Online Advertising?
Online Adverting, also known as internet marketing, is harnessing the power of the internet to promote your business. Unlike traditional advertising methods -- radio, tv, billboards, newspaper ads, etc -- online advertising has the ability to advertise to highly targeted demographics during critical points in their decision making or buying process.
By advertising with search engines and other syndicated sources online advertising gives you the power to reach out to customers in a way like never before.
More bang for your buck
With traditional advertising methods it's hit-or-miss. Do you really know how many people saw your newspaper ad, television spot, or heard your radio commercial? Sure, these advertising agencies can give you estimated numbers, but when it comes to your advertising budget estimates aren't good enough!
Online Advertising not only allows you to know precisely how many people saw your ad, but more information like what time they viewed it, where they were at then they saw it, and more importantly, if this user converted into a sale or not! Online Advertising gives you much more control over your advertising dollars. By having access to these kinds of metrics, it's easy to test, tune, and optimize your advertising campaings to get the best ROI.
Another advantage of online advertising over traditional marketing is that it's easy and often times cheap (or even free) to make changes to your advertising campaign. This means that you can try something for a little while and if you are not happy with the results you can easily make changes until you find what works best. In most cases, changes that are made can be seen instantly or with very little delay. Try that with a radio or tv spot!
MAKE your customers find you
One of the main goals behind online advertising is making your customers find you. This is done by advertising where your customers are looking, and at the correct time. By advertising to a potential customer at the perfect time you can catch them in "phases" -- researching, comparing, price matching, etc -- and provide them with the information they are looking for and as a result get more sales.
To further illustrate this point let's say that you own and operate a company that sells wrist watches. When a customer is searching online using phrases like "best men's watch" or "dependable wrist watches" they are in the research phase. During this phase it is critical to not show this user ads about buying your wristwatch. Instead, you would want to show them ads (and relevant a web page) that talk about the advantages of your watches over the competition. The user is researching -- let them know why they should buy your watch.
Furthermore, if the user is searching for "cheap wrist watches" then price is obviously a factor for them. If you make high-end wrist watches you probably want to avoid these customers altogether -- which is easy to do with online advertising!
