The most important considerations in assessing a proposal for buying media

02/19/2008

Major concern for any buyer is to get the best at the cheapest. Media buying is no exception to this common principle. However, the considerations here are a little different than the traditional buying of goods or services. 

You should assess exactly before such purchase the media planning that was followed by the agency. The coverage of viewers is most important to assess this aspect. You will aim at the efficiency on the basis of the cost-per-thousand to reach your targeted customers. The lower the cost, the higher is the efficiency.  

Another vital aspect for determining the efficiency and usefulness of the media you are trying to buy is the reach and the frequency of the media. The AIDA model that is considered ideal consumer behavior model for any media, whether print or electronic, includes Awareness for A, Interest for I, Decision for D and Action for A. To get the accurate report on the performances you can obtain the assistance of professional media buying services.

Media buying does not mean buying a media company lock, stock, and barrel. In fact it also refers to buying time slots on the media channels. Media advertising in prime time programs cost more and run of station programs cost less. A prudent step would be to invest no more than ten percent of your budget allocations for prime time programs and at least fifty percent for fringe or non-prime time programs.

Creative Advertising For Innovative Businesses

11/12/2007

So many people ignore the usual business advertising, that the best businesses turn to the many ways to accomplish creative advertising. Most people love the opportunity to laugh. Using creative advertising that not only makes people laugh, but draws them to your business will dramatically increase sales. Sometimes it is the absolute silliness of the picture that helps it stick in the mind. 

Sticking an idea in the mind when it is connected to a product or service is the aim of all business advertising. When you think of the picture and laugh, you also remember the product that brings it to you. 

Another very creative way of advertising is with music. Think of Ray Stevens and his chorus teaching the world to sing. Think of ancient jingles like Ajax cleanser when it floats the bubbles right down the drain, or the coffee song, or brusha brusha brusha with new Ipana toothpaste. Even years later when you hear a snatch of one of these songs, the product comes to mind. It is a business advertiser’s dream come true. 

Creative advertising comes with a price as the campaigns are usually the result of an ad agency’s efforts. That is not to say a business owner could not come up with something really interesting because they could. It is just so unusual for this to happen. 

Creative advertising can be built around the presentation of a little known interesting fact connected to your product. It would be explained by an earnest ‘scientist’ type. If it is really that interesting, it will soon be a subject of conversation everywhere. This type of word of mouth advertising is priceless.
