How does Web advertising differ from print advertising?
Print ads: Expensive & hard to quantify value
Print ads are more of a "shotgun" method of advertising. Some of the drawbacks:
- Expensive
- Hard to know if they're being seen
- Hard to calculate effectiveness & actual dollar value
Web ads: Low initial cost & easy to quantify value
With Web advertising, you:
- Only pay when someone clicks on your ad
- Can target very specific customers
- Can show your ads to customers actively searching for your product/service
- Can track exact number of:
- Ad views
- Ad clicks
- Sales/leads generated
- Can easily quantify the exact value of your ads
