WHICH MEDIA CHANNELS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Comparing strengths and weaknesses
Every waking moment, your potential customers are exposed to a mind-numbing number of messages. As each one screams for attention, it becomes more and more difficult for your voice to be heard.
Clearly, it makes little sense for a small business to enter the fray without a strategy, to add another small voice to the overwhelming noise.
Instead, what you need is a smart strategy – a way to improve the effectiveness of your marketing communications.
It starts with recognizing some basic facts:First, the environment or channel through which an advertisement is delivered actually impacts the way consumers respond, sometimes profoundly.
- Next, not all channels are created equally. Each communications channel has particular strengths and weaknesses.
- Finally, the most effective marketing communication strategy is the result of integrating and combining media to leverage individual strengths while avoiding each medium’s weak points.
Up until very recently, this kind of sophisticated cross-media campaign was beyond the reach of most small businesses. The costs and technical hurdles were simply too great. But recently, that has changed. Picture this: Combine direct mail's ability to specifically target segments of the population, its measurability, and its high response rates -- with a visually engaging, personalized web page where your product or service can be demonstrated and your prospect emotionally engaged -- with the immediacy, low cost, interactivity and 24/7 availability of email … and you achieve breakthrough results.
