Advertising For The Long Haul and Not the Short Term Gains

New Age Media Concepts issues its first article of many that will focus on the advertising and marketing industry.

"If a young man tells his date she's intelligent, looks lovely, and is a great conversationalist, he's saying the right things to the right person and that's marketing. If the young man tells his date how handsome, smart and successful he is -- that's advertising. If someone else tells the young woman how handsome, smart and successful her date is -- that's public relations." By S.H. Simmons.

Welcome to New Age Media Concepts, Inc. where we understand your needs and how to maximize your marketing dollar.

Marketing is your strategy for allocating resources (time and money) in order to achieve your objectives.

People have their own unique perceptions of the world based on their belief system. The most innovative ideas, the greatest products, or a superior service succeed only when you market within the context of people's perceptions. This is true from something as simple as the pet rock craze of the 1970s to the marketing muscle of Wall Street and the Internet boom of the 1990s.

Context can be many things, singly or simultaneously. To name a few, you may market to your customers within the context of their wants, needs, problems solved, or situation improved. Current and potential advertisers need to be aware of many other contexts, such as social and economic trends or governmental regulations.

People don't just "buy" a product or a service. They "buy" the concept of what that product will do for them, or help them do for themselves. People just don't "buy" a laundry detergent, they buy the perceived notion of what that laundry detergent brand says it can accomplish for them. Otherwise every brand in the supermarket will be a no-frills. This is not to say that if a product fails to meet the customers' expectations that product will be successful in the long haul. No amount of advertising and marketing will help a failed product succeed in that scenario.

To have a successful campaign a product or service must understand that they need to start out with something a consumer needs, wants, or improves their situation and that product or service actually does help the consumer for the long haul.

The New York Times said it best in a recent article, "Companies can't Buy Love with Bargains" Building brand loyalty is more than just hyping the consumer into buying a product, it's gaining their trust and the trust of their family both today and for years to come. One example of great brand building is H.J. Heinz, (NYSE: HNZ) they have been around for decades and they gained the loyalty and trust of the consumer spanning generations, now that is great brand building.

Anyone could hype a brand for short term gains but that doesn't accomplish the goals of the advertiser or the consumer. It looks good initially but what happens when the product isn't flying off the shelves any longer and the consumers have lost trust in the product or the company?. Of course you need new and innovative ways to get your message to the consumer but this message has to be geared to building consumer loyalty and not just hype. Even the largest companies make this mistake and pay for it with decreased sales and profit margins.

So whether a consumer is buying a car from Ford (NYSE: F) , a can of beer from Anheuser Busch (NYSE:BUD) or software from Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT), the advertiser needs to cater to the needs of the consumer.

Can you still make money with Adsense?

Google Adsense is an advertising program created by Google, and which is beginning to be explored by other search engines, such as Yahoo and MSN – that allows you to put targeted ads on your website. If you run AdSense on your site you know that some words pay more than others, much more in fact.

5 Genuine Adsense Opportunities

Over the last few days. we’ve categorized over 20 great opportunities that represent a genuinely potential good return on investment. Most sources online today only show the highest bid estimate for a particular keyword or keyword phrase. This is a completely ill-informed methodology in evaluating adsense keywords and their potential value.

9 Adsense Case Studies

Here are 9 more Adsense Case Studies worth further consideration. They include keywords from the categories; Legal, Medical, Publishing, Real Estate, Rentals, Telephony, Travel, Vehicles and Web.Some are ok. Some are really good. Create quality content in areas that interest you and that is a great 1st step to developing a site that is successfully monetized with Google Adsense. I don’t focus on the the highest bid keywords, just the best in my opinion based on the various other attributes of the keyword.

Adsense Keywords - Can you trust only the highest bid estimate?

The short answer is no. There are tons of sites online displaying lists of hundreds or even thousands of keywords and there highest bid. Well guess what? There almost totally useless. The reason lies in the fact that (a) you have no idea of what the advertiser is bidding and it is the 2nd advertiser that dictates the 1st bidders cost per click. But even worse, you have absolutely no clue of what the Top 10 advertisers are paying. Bids may dramatically drop so by advertiser 7 or 8, it’s down to a few cents.

After the hype over Project Black Mask recently, created by the same team that brought us Affiliate Project X and Day Job Killer, I decided to buy it and see whether it really was worthy of all the buzz it created. What I found surprised me.

Google's AdSense a bonanza for some Web sites
