Here’s Why Traditional Advertising Is So Important Amid the National Lockdown

Why Traditional Advertising Is So Important Amid the National Lockdown

Timing is an important factor when considering how to market your business. While COVID-19 and the national lockdown forced a lot of small businesses to close down, we can’t help but think how the traditional advertising is still a force to be reckoned with. Here’s why. 

Radio Advertising 

If you’re looking to reach a local audience at a more affordable cost, nothing beats radio advertising. It connects with the right people at the right time. It is easy to build a strong presence on the radio because people actually listen to radio ads and they don’t do the channel surfing the same way TV viewers do during program breaks. 

According to the Nielsen’s 2019 Audio Today Report, which was recently made available, 272 million Americans listen to traditional radio every week, an increase of 7 million or about 2.5 percent, from 2016’s figures. 

It’s been proven that radio provides a friendly environment for advertisers and the consumers respond positively to ads they hear on the radio. Believe it or not, Radio continues to be the number one mass reach medium, topping both TV and internet.  

Businesses with a local target market really have no need to advertise on the national level. They should consider taking their radio advertising to regional and local stations. 

Local radio stations tend to be an important way for the surrounding community to stay informed on events and news. Businesses can more easily connect to the community and their target customers by advertising on these stations. Most local radio station listeners are loyal and engage with their favorite station by calling in for contests, making comments or music requests. That means that if you advertise regularly, you’ll be better able to brand your business and create brand awareness. 

Here’s an example of a radio ad we converted into a video promoting some of our local businesses: 

TV Advertising 

For decades now, TV advertising has been a very effective way to reach and engage with potential customers. Not to mention, local cable ads are very affordable. With the use of both audio and visual effects, TV ads create a mixture of motion and emotion. TV creates a more powerful impact than either of the two by themselves. That’s why television commercials can transmit more information to the viewer. 

But that’s not it. When done right, video advertising enables you to display your product, demonstrate its use and the advantages of buying it. It can also help businesses connect emotionally with potential customers, which is so important in today’s climate. 

Here’s an example of a local TV ad for one of our clients:

Multi-Screen Advertising 

Did you know that the average US adult spends 78 thousand hours of the life watching TV? Knowing that statistic, it’s hard not to think that businesses should still be investing their marketing budgets in TV advertising. There’s a great opportunity out there to reach target audiences by being where the intended audience is hanging out. Not to mention that when you combine Television and Digital Advertising, you’re more likely to increase your ads impact.  

Internet advertising will not replace traditional media, it will compliment them. – Jeff I. Richards 

This type of advertising allows for more specifically targeting geographic and demographic areas, meaning you’re spending your advertising dollars on reaching your most likely customers.

How to Generate Demand for Your Products or Services

How to Generate Demand for Your Products or Services

Successful marketing is all about three things: the right message, your target audience and good timing. When those essential elements meet, you are in a better position to generate demand for your products and services. 

Since there are many digital marketing strategies you can tap into these days, it’s crucial to know your buyer persona first. Why? Because that way you can instantly determine which channel might be the most beneficial to promote your business along with the products and services you offer. 

Targeting 

What you already know about your potential prospects will determine how you can effectively target them. Knowing your prospects’ intent is a key to turning them into paying customers. One way to achieve this is through Pay-Per-Click (PPC). 

Pay-Per-Click 

PPC ads are a great way to determine someone’s intent, because they appear on Google search results whenever someone types the keyword or phrase you linked in your ad campaign. This type of digital marketing is excellent for getting your products and services in front of those who are already looking for it.  

Another benefit of using PPC ads is the fact you can target ads by location once you specify your campaign to one region. However, the main benefit of targeting your potential audience with PPC is working with a fixed budget and an ability to cost-control your ad campaign according to the demand. 

Geolocation & Geotargeting 

This tactic is not only great for reaching potential customers in the location that you service, but it’s also effective because it’s based on user’s behavior data and preferences. 

Content Marketing 

The best way to attract people with the right intent is to create content that answers the questions they’re asking. You can do so by writing articles highlighting not only relevant information potential customers wants to know, but also your products and services. 

The idea of investing time in content marketing is to educate your potential customers so they can process the information they need to later make a confident purchasing decision.

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist

Here’s Your Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

When discussing your digital marketing strategy, we can’t forget about all the other basic business elements that will contribute to your plan of action. Understanding your “why”, having a polished elevator pitch, defining your buyer persona and knowing your competitive advantage are crucial concepts to take into consideration before implementing your digital strategy. 

According to The Digital Minds Book by WSI, building your plan of action requires answering important questions first. Here’s what should be on your digital strategy checklist: 

 

Must-Have Digital Strategy Checklist 

 

  • Building Your List and Your Database – This is where you’re going to nurture your prospect and customer base. Choose a platform that allows you to monitor every stage of your customer’s journey all the way to the sales pipeline.
  • Building Your Core Message – Think of this as a story your brand needs to tell the customers so they better understand your services or products. The more you focus on one main idea you’re trying to sell the better!
  • Defining Goals Within Your Strategy – Your marketing message should align with goals you’re trying to accomplish. Whether it’s generating more leads and sales, gaining authority and relevance in your industry or simply nurturing relationships and connections you already have, defining your goals will help you develop a more accurate brand messaging later on.
  • Defining the Channels – Each channel requires a different format so be selective when trying to find the right platform to carry your message. A question you should ask yourself here is: What are the digital channels that you will use to reach each buyer persona?
  • Measuring Results – This is the final strategy element that is best utilized when paired with marketing automation tools that provide analytics on a regular basis.

How to Identify Your Ideal Customer Using a Buyer Persona

by

Buyer Persona

While digital marketing is a multi-faceted job, one of the most important responsibilities for us digital marketers is to know who we’re talking to. Without defining that perfect buyer persona in the beginning, it’s rather challenging to turn leads into loyal customers later on…

That being said, you can’t execute a successful digital marketing campaign without knowing your target market. Want to know how to identify your ideal customer? Here’s what you need to know first.

What Is a Buyer Persona?

According to Alan Cooper (a pioneer software developer), a buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research, customer demographics and behavior, real data about your existing customers, and your understanding of their motivations and challenges.

Whether you’re in the midst of developing a product or getting ready to launch a marketing campaign, we strongly recommend considering your buyer persona before you dive into this next step. There’s nothing worse you can do for your business than sending out the wrong messaging that doesn’t resonate with the people you want to do business with. However, if developed correctly, buyer personas will point you into the direction of customers who will bring you the most revenue on a long-term basis.

Identifying Your Ideal Customer Using a Buyer Persona

Great tools to start with are Google Analytics and Facebook Audience Insights. Those existing demographics can point you in the right way of who your buyer personas might be. Pay attention to the characteristics such as gender, age, visitor location and their interests.

Another way to identify your ideal customer is to review your existing customer base. Can you identify the contacts that decided to do business with you in the past? This is important to keep in mind because you don’t want customers who are just interested in seeing your content. You want those who are making purchasing decisions!

Part of the process of creating a strong buyer persona is to understand your unique selling points. How does your ideal customer engage in your sales process? What can you do to help them solve their problems? What about your content? Is there a call to action? Those are all questions you should be asking yourself before nailing down your ideal customer.
