So what is advertising?
We can get technical: According to Shopify, “Advertising is a marketing tactic involving paying for space to promote a product, service, or cause. The actual promotional messages are called advertisements, or ads for short. The goal of advertising is to reach people most likely to be willing to pay for a company’s products or services and entice them to buy.”
But what does that really mean and how does that help you?
Chances are, you’re familiar with advertising in the form of print, radio, television, direct mail, etc. But even these are fast becoming archaic and irrelevant, as we, a society, become evermore engrossed in the digital age.
So what is digital advertising?
You’re probably familiar with Facebook and Google Ads and content creation and distribution, but do these forms of advertising make your head spin? Do you feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark trying to get your brand in front of the community, while simultaneously trying to run your business?
A strong advertising/marketing campaign consists of Google Ads and content creation and distribution. These are must-have components.
When buyers buy, they aren’t on Facebook; they’re on Google—looking for you. Google Ads allow you to secure the traffic of those in the “buying mindset.”
But what about content creation and distribution? This is where we come in. Google Ads aren’t telling your story, and while the high school blogger you employ can turn out some decent content, you still don’t have the distribution network.
Facebook isn’t going to help you: You may have a world-class Facebook page with great reviews. You may be posting daily. You may even have 10k people who like your page. But you don’t have the ability to aggregate local eyeballs on mobile devices with community focused content that tells the story of your brand in a way that will move someone to take action.
Our @Talk Community Social Networks allow you to do just that. This is what we do and this is why businesses and organizations keep coming back to us to handle their advertising/marketing campaigns.
