Harvesting Sales Hot Buttons from Search Ads

Search ads on the web give you a rare opportunity to learn what copy your prospects are responding to in real time. This knowledge is hard won through continual experimentation, trial and error, and occasional thumb sucking. We say share the wealth. For example, we recently learned in our eVitalize web campaign that “Fix up your underperforming web site” beats “Cost effective web marketing strategies” five to one. Understanding how your target perceives your product benefits not only gives you ammo for search, but better ways to communicate through sales and other copy created for the brand. Conversely knowing how an effective salesperson formulates his pitch can inform better keywords and ad copy. The trick is to share and bust through compartmentalized suppliers and internal departments.

Economy Down. Online Advertising Up.

According to ADWEEK, magazine, the online advertising segment grew additional 11 percent in the third quarter of this year. This supports our recommendation to reallocate portions of print and broadcast budgets toward banner advertising, web site enhancements, search advertising and social media. These media can more easily be tweaked for niche media and provide better tracking. This will undoubtedly be a tough year for all media, but an opportunity for clients with smaller budgets to buy low.
