Online Advertising
I was already talking about advertising in the newspaper. I do not want to give the impression that advertising in the newspaper is bad, but I often compare it with: throwing your eyes closed. It is always difficult to estimate which people you will reach and also how many people you will reach. Recently I spoke with a company that let me know that they invest several thousand euros on an annual basis in newspaper ads, but that they are doing almost nothing. When I then come up with the question: "How do you make the newspaper article measurable? Then the answer comes: "We do not." Of course this is a missed opportunity but offline advertising gives you just limited possibilities to make it measurable and therefore it is often throwing your eyes closed, hoping that you touch something and that it will eventually yield something.
The solution: go cross-media
If you are a supporter of offline marketing, then I want to ask you to sit quietly in your chair. Of course, I put online marketing in the positive light, but that is also because on the points that I dealt with in this article, online marketing wins from offline marketing. But as I advise virtually everyone, you still have to deal with an offline and online audience at this time. And I also believe that in a few years there will come another point that people become "tired online". Or perhaps most companies stop offline marketing and only focus on online. When this happens, there will also be more room for offline marketing. Just think of the mailbox that is currently being attacked with many advertising newspapers, etc. Perhaps this will not be the case in a few years, making it easier for you to come back to the attention of the mailbox.
I am hired by various offline marketing agencies as an interim online marketing specialist or interim social media specialist to set up cross-media campaigns together. Thanks to the collaboration of offline and online, maximum return is achieved. You will have to combine offline with online in this time to reach your target audience. If you do not do this then you miss a large part of your target group.
