Advertising has traditionally entailed the creation and dissemination of promotional content that, one hopes, will attract the interest of new customers while also building a professional and wide brand image and awareness. Hopelessly inefficient, this form of advertising has been largely replaced by the rise of Targeted Advertising – helped along by big data sets and digital systems that make large-scale communications a doddle. Here are some ways into target advertising, which will allow you to communicate with potential clients a great deal more effectively, prompting dealings with whole new demographics.
Viral Posts
Whether it’s harnessing the internet’s adoration of all things fluffy and cuddly, or jumping on the bandwagon of the latest meme, trend or piece of worldwide celebrity gossip, there are some social media marketing teams out there who’ve made significant gains for their company simply by being ahead of the curve. With the right staff creativity and immersion in social media, you’ll be able to curate posts that entertain and amuse while also gently promoting your company – and if they go viral, you’ll be looking at cost-free publicity on a jaw-dropping scale.
Partnerships
Business partnerships are one of the more subtle ways in which to target advertising. By establishing connections with other businesses that you’re not in direct competition with but nonetheless who share access to your target demographic, you’ll be able to cross-promote each other’s businesses to potential clients who’ll trust in your recommendations. It’s another cheap and easy way to make connections without spending a great deal of money on an outsourced marketing agency.
Emails
Effective targeted email marketing is simply a case of collecting the right emails and sending within them the right information. When it comes to the former, sites such as theemailfinder.co provide an incredibly useful service in locating the email addresses that you require to target certain companies or individuals. When it comes to the latter – the contents of the email – you’ll want to keep it snappy and create enough interest on a single laptop or phone screen to hold someone’s attention for long enough to make an impression. Think smart about how to make the content match most succinctly with the people it’s going to reach. This will, in turn, make this form of targeted marketing as efficient and successful as possible.
Television
The oldest form of targeted advertisement out there is that of the television. With different channels and different programs possessing uniquely different spectatorships, it’s a smart move – despite the rise of TV streaming services worldwide – to advertise on the television to a captive and impressionable audience whose tastes and habits you’ll be able to predict, to some extent, by the shows they’re watching. Work backward from your targeted demographic by imagining what they’re watching on TV, and create a short commercial that you’re aware will really play to the tastes of the audience you have in mind.
Targeted Advertising is the new norm for companies big and small who’re intending to reach new customers, so it’s important to get on top of the current trends in the business in order to get ahead.
