  1. Tips for Effective T.V & Online Advertising

    I'm writing this blog post right now with the T.V on. Glee is on T.V and as much as I hate to admit it .... it is actually darn good ol fun entertainment, especially with some classic Fleetwood Mac renditions thrown in. Once the advertisement break is on though I am going to duck into the kitchen for an orange followed by chocolate. Seemingly though I'm not alone in running to escape advertisement breaks. According to a survey in America by which also reflects trend behaviour in Australia 1/3 of all people prefer watching t.v shows through recording devices or on the internet. This is a major headache if you are contemplating a huge sum of money on a T.V advertising slot.

    Research has shown is that effective TV advertising is especially good at reaching a mass audience in a very short amount of time. However when you are marketing a niche product it would be more difficult to use T.V effectively.

  4. Overdosing on Email

    Email is a good thing right? However like all good things that I can think of (Hamburgers, Fried Chicken, Alcohol to name a few) too much of a good thing can lead to an overdose and start harming us. Take email for example. Instance free communication. With technology like Blackberries and Iphones we can now even send an email whilst on the bus or in the toilet. Amazing stuff and amazing communication. However with all the emails circulating we are now addicted to it and productivity is slowly being eroded. Its not just productivity though but also the stress that comes along with being "switched on,"all the time and the feeling that workers can always be contactable.

     

    • Overdoing email marketing can lead to lower open rates, increased unsubscribes, and damaged brand reputation.
    • To maintain a healthy email marketing strategy, segment your audience, personalize content, and monitor metrics for improvement.
