Big Advertising
Mistake - Don't Do This and It Will
Save You
by: Farid Aziz
Advertising plays an important role in
your business (every business, actually!). But,
there is one BIG mistake advertisers frequently
do and this mistake could cost you a
bundle!
What is it?
The fact that you don't analyze what type of
advertising is working for you and which are
not doing so well!
Analyzing the results of your advertising
campaigns will help you determine where your
money should go. If you skip this task, then
you'd probably spending too much money on a
lousy campaign! Of course you don't want that
to happen do you?
I know that this task is very time consuming
and boring, that's why most advertisers always
neglect this one. The fact is, it becomes time
consuming and boring if you don't create a
system for that. This system should inform you
the performance of all of your advertising
campaigns.
This is what makes online advertising so great.
Many online advertising services give you ad
campaign reports on a regular basis. They
inform you which ads are working and which ones
are not. Although not every type of online
advertisings have this feature, one of them who
does is Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising.
But what if you advertise in ezines (lots of
ezines) and ad classifieds? What if you put
several banners and text links here and there?
How to monitor their performances?
Well, in case you didn't know, there are some
services in the internet which really could
track your ads and make your job a lot easier.
To learn more about this service, you can go
to
HyperTracker
Once you know exactly the performance of all of
your ad campaigns, here are some steps that can
save a lot of your advertising budget:
o
Determine
Your Target Market
Who would be interested in your products? What
problems do your products solve? Believe me,
reaching untargeted market would only hurt your
advetising budget. Don't go for quantity, but
go for quality! Many people love blasting ads
to a huge community and ended up with no sales
at all? Why? Because they are simply reaching
the WRONG people.
o
Set Up a Realistic
Budget
How much money could you put aside for
advertising? Remember, don't waste all of your
advertising budget on a single campaign! You
have to test what type of advertising that will
work best for you.
o
A Great Sales Copy
Make people want to click through your URL.
Your target here is to make them click, not to
sell! Let your site do the selling for you.
o
Test Several Ads
Test several ads at the same time. Tweak your
sales copy. You'll be amazed at how a little
difference you add to an ad could result in a
HUGE difference in the response. This part is a
lot easier if you use the good old
HyperTracker
o
Analyze and Re-invest
Analyze your ads performance. Stick to the ones
that give you best results. Now that you know
what works and what doesn't, you could
re-invest your advertising budget ONLY on the
best type of advertising.
