Are You Losing Money Because of These Banner Advertising Errors?
|
One glaring fact about banner advertising is that it's been extremely profitable since the beginning of the net, and also consider the vast numbers of people coming online each day. It is totally normal for any newbie to start a new form of marketing and make newbie mistakes. But the outlook is promising because you don't have to make all the mistakes, and you do that by reading and studying. School's in session today for banner advertisers who are smart, like you, and will read these mistakes and go forth and make money.
Sometimes, often actually, marketers look at different aspects of their funnel separately, and when you place banner ads you should pay closer attention to things like your landing page. First, though, just know that the people who click on your banner basically don't give two hoots about the cool graphics, they are only thinking about what you have to offer for them. It doesn't matter what you say you want to give them, or have for them, they need to find evidence of that when they go to your landing page, or wherever you send them. Any deviations from that, and your goose is cooked basically. So it is simple, just deliver on the promise given in your banner ad.
Since you'll be exposed to a lot of traffic, you still must target your audience using your banner and avoid trying to get "all" the traffic. This is the difference between targeted and untargeted traffic, and even targeted traffic of signinficantly less volume is always more valuable. If you do this, you'll lose money but hopefully learn a valuable lesson. So avoid the trap of believing all you need to do is 'get' traffic, and remember to think in terms of how targeted is that traffic. That is why when you make your banners and write the copy, it needs to speak only to your market and no one else. Also, do remember that it's only these visitors who will ever consider giving you their money. Not only should your banner ad be targeted, but you should also place it on targeted sites, the hang out places for potential buyers.
You will be placing your banners on websites, duh, but you must stick to certain criteria if you want to make money - buying space on a site just because you love it is not the correct criterion. The criteria for selecting a website should depend on your target market. You should have your banner ad on a site that attracts potential buyers for your product. You want to do the thing often called finding your niche and getting in front of them with your offers - perfect way to look at it.
More than anything, banner advertising will be successful when you stick to the basics of what is known to work. Be sure that you are organized and ready to receive traffic before running any ads. If you're not seeing anything happen, then maybe something isn't working and you'll be scrambling to fix it.
