Two Shades of Online advertising

Today is the era of the 4g, Internet has got liberalized to a much extent to the eternity like never before! With the high usage of the internet & its compatible new technology devices! The challenge for the marketers has got all open & loud! They have to come up with the innovative online advertising ways, to cater to the new developed technology! So is the challenge which stands for the online advertisement plethora! 

The latest forecast reports have also proved that the advertisement expenditures have so far estimated to reach $518.8 billion. The forecasts are that by the year 2016, the expenditure scale will reach the $613 million in the coming future. The hero of this situation would lie in deciding the right set of the proportion of the text ads .i.e. the content & the display ads have to be in the right proportion for yielding the right result! The important parameters that also form the main part of it are:

Are you placing only the text-ads!! Relying completely on the text ads only is also a scenario which one has to be wary of! Just the text ads don’t work! You are losing the charm of the visual ads & hence losing to the much scale on the Branding & the visual impact! Influential social interaction gets completely fade out by missing on the social ads. The synergy of the social & the visual content you can motivate the buyer to close a sale!

Display Ads in majority:  Pacing only the display ads also is never considered to be a safer court for the marketers’ .Different industries are with different values. Sectors like for e.g. if a website is for a financial institution or an educational institution placing only the visual ADS also doesn’t work at all. The very important factor is by the content! Which play an important entity in such portals? Certain industries have certain requirements. The proportion if the content & the display ads vary with each nature.

Not Relying on the Mobile Devices: With the mobile broadband shoot up!! Majority of the segments of the varied industries are now more in to the mobile devices rather than the PC. The era of the personal computers are all out in this fast pace lifestyle! There s no time with people to sit & do the complete set up for a PC to go online! Technology has all embraced in to a mobile phone. Everything involved in the online advertising has to have to be updated in accordance with the mobile devices new technology set up! The advent of the 3g & then the 4g has provoked to much extent the majority of the people to surf net in their mobile! The fast lane lifestyle is adding to the party!

Landing page not mobile friendly! If the landing pages will not be mobile friendly then it affects the performance of the online advertisement to a great extent! Landing pages stand for the mobile optimized respond or the change based on the device being used! If somebody visits a page with a Smartphone then it has to be made sure that they have the opportunity of the click-to-call.

Testing: If you aren’t testing, you aren’t taking full advantage of one of the primary benefits of online advertising. Fundamentally, campaigns should perform better over time. Test landing pages to determine if one design is preferable to another. Utilize variations of ads. Draft a few different text ads, or better yet, create ad groups focused on specific keyword themes. Design different display image ads and sizes. See what works best and do more of that.

Tracking: You aren’t tracking. If your website or landing page doesn’t have analytics installed, that’s a telltale sign of a campaign with critical missing parts. Once you get Google Analytics or analytics software installed, be sure to code your landing page with event tracking, so that you can get valuable insight into where people are going once they land on your page and which elements of your online campaign is driving that activity. You have entered into a 6-month or longer contract to get the “best rate.” This was how a lot of online advertising was sold five plus years ago, but not today. Today’s online market is the auction, where prices fluctuate depending on a number of unknown (thank you Google!) factors including competition and bids. Don’t commit long-term unless the channel is a proven work horse. For most financial institutions, staying nimble will allow the best chance of success.

There are a lot of moving pieces to an online campaign, even after it’s been built. If you have begun advertising online, use this checklist to improve your campaigns and get the most from your precious marketing dollars. If you haven’t started advertising online, keep in mind that 97% of people start their search for financial products online. That’s an audience you can’t afford to ignore.
