When it comes to media and advertising your options are easily divided into one of two camps: either offline or online. Both traditional offline advertising and internet technology driven online advertising have a great deal to offer when it comes to promoting your business products and services.

But to assume that they have much in common, and that traditional methods and assumptions will translate from the real world to the digital one is not only to seriously misunderstand the dynamic nature of online advertising, but to underestimate its value. Having said that, too many people instantly jump to the conclusion that the only successful or worthwhile media and advertising ventures worth pursuing today are those online.

This is also false thinking, and can result in you losing sales, missing out on prospective clients, and costing you both time and money. The most important aspect to consider when determining what method is appropriate for you under the circumstances is to have a clear idea of what it is you wish to advertise, to whom you wish to promote it, and what you wish to see as a successful result. If you offer a service which can only realistically be used by those within driving distance of your studio or office, then advertising online, whilst reaching many millions of people, will almost certainly miss the vast bulk of the prospective clients you could be seeing.

Mail shots, posters and flyers tucked under windscreen wipers at the local car park will work far better. Media and advertising comes in so many forms, and you have to make sure you know what method is appropriate, and then add a unique twist that will get you noticed and remembered.
