Stage 2 Studios: Advertising Primer 9: Media Planning. Media planning and buying involves researching and selecting the best media outlets through which to advertise, and then scheduling and purchasing the ads or airtime that will best fit the advertising strategy at hand. Media Selection Let's take a look at the major media vehicles available to advertisers: 1. Television: Despite it's relatively high cost, TV is considered to be one of the most effective advertising mediums. Video is the most captivating format of delivering advertising messages. TV reaches larger audiences than any other media format. 2. The first thing to note about online advertising is that this list is in order of most advertising dollars spent per medium.

The internet is really a hybrid of existing media formats. Research shows that online display ads (banner ads and the like) garner higher brand recognition than radio or TV advertising. The low cost of online advertising combined with it's many targeting options are by far its greatest advantages. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 45 Resources for Local Advertising & Media Buying. Lists are good.

Why Local Search is Like Raking Leaves | Broadband Evolved. Over the past 10 years a large number of very smart people have said a lot of very wise things about the science and art behind search engine optimization (SEO). In most cases, these wiSE-O-men and women have honed their skills in support of medium and large businesses seeking optimal exposure to consumers (natural and paid) within Google, Yahoo, and MSN. A smaller number of very smart people have developed similar, but specialized, SEO expertise in support of small businesses seeking to be found by consumers who increasingly search the web, and not the print yellow pages, for local products and services. In summary, there is a subtle, but significant, difference between SEO for bigger businesses and Local-SEO for smaller businesses. In an attempt to explain the differences, I’ve come up with an analogy that I hope most people can relate to.

Imagine the following: The world is one huge yard which is owned by an individual named Mr. The yard is covered in leaves and Mr. Mr. Raking Leaves. Newspapers get 3x too many ad dollars, says study. Even though newspapers have lost nearly half of their ad revenues in the last five years, some analysts believe they still are getting three times more advertising than their readership deserves.

This good news/bad news for publishers comes from eMarketer, a research firm specializing in digital marketing trends. I’ll tell you in a moment why this is both good and bad news. First, the story: In a report released last week, eMarketer compared the amount of time consumers spend accessing various types of media with the percentage of advertising dollars spent on each format.

Television, for example, represents about 43% of the time Americans spend consuming media and broadcasters collect about 43% of the advertising dollars, according to the study. Newspapers, on the other hand, are pocketing three times more ad dollars than their mindshare would seem to justify. Because the allocation of ad-market share is a zero-sum game, print has to be benefitting at someone's expense.
