Traditional Advertising is Still Important Today
In spite of the massive growth of online advertising these past few years, traditional media is still effective and very much alive. Outdoor signs, newspapers and magazines, and television and radio still reach a wide range of audiences and target specific markets for different types of companies.
If you are planning to allocate a huge chunk of advertising budget solely on search engines and social networking sites, you better think again. Traditional advertising is still important in any brand strategy. Without it, most campaigns will fail considerably or return only with meager results.
Accomplish Different Goals at Once
A small pamphlet can go a long way. It can launch a new business, expand an existing one, or reintroduce a company while sending out messages to different markets – all at once. The good thing about traditional advertising is it reaches a lot of people and anyone can relay the message to the intended market any time.
Preceding Other Forms of Advertising
The most popular campaigns on the social networks usually start with traditional forms of media. A scandalous billboard, a shocking newsprint, or catchy television commercial usually makes an impression on people first before being shared and spread via Facebook or Twitter. Traditional advertising usually starts the hype while other forms only pick it up.
Expressing Commitment
Having paid advertisements not merely shows a company’s capacity to fund its promotional campaigns. More than anything else, it shows everyone its commitment in nurturing its brand. A piece of ad, no matter how small or simple, is like a subtle wink. It tells everyone that the business is very much alive and is ready to take on the challenges in the coming years.
Traditional advertising is and will always be important for any business. It accomplishes many goals, precedes other forms of advertising, and helps a business show its commitment to nurturing its brand. Although online marketing efforts are becoming more widely used, paid advertising will continue to be effective. The best way to make the most of them is combine them into one effective brand strategy and enjoy the benefits each of them offer.
