A certain large advertising business would like to have you believe, that if you don't advertise in their book, people will start to forget who you are, and stop using your business...

Most magazine and newspaper advertising sales reps will tell you that their advertising is the best, and will drive thousand of customers to your business...

Most web designers will tell you that if you get on the net, the orders will stream in...

TV and Radio advertisement sales reps (and even a prominent Australian Retail Giant Chairman) will tell you that get on the TV or Radio, your cash register and EFTPOS will run hot.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH? - NONE OF THESE METHODS WORK ALONE! - Read on, and I'll share some information on how to tie all of these methods together.

In a generation where facebook, twitter, texting, google and the web have replaced traditional communication mediums like writing letters, calling people on the phone, and even actually visiting and talking to our friends, certain skills and knowledge have dropped away, it's evolution, and we can actually see it happen, and we need to look at the new way to market to this changing consumer base.

Many businesses, especially those long established ones will swear by the yellow pages, or radio advertising, or television ads, which ever they've been using for years, but the thing is, dynamics of how we spend our leisure time have changed, and drastically.

In this age of ipods, iphones, mp3 players many people simply don't listen to the radio anymore. - So we lose a massive amount of potential customers who will not hear your radio ads.

With the advent of tv on demand, and the ease of downloading tv shows and movies off the net, especially since you can view most shows on demand at a time that suits you later, and skip through the ads, many people simply don't watch prime-time tv anymore.  - So we lose a massive amount of potential customers who will not see your tv ads.

With the explosion of news, gossip, and social networking sites, where information is instant, and up to date and available right now, many people simply don't buy magazines, or newspapers anymore.

When we can search for a business or service in 3 seconds using a search engine on the internet such as google, on our computers, or even on our phones, people simply can't be bothered looking in the phone book anymore.  In fact there are millions of generation 'y'ers who DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE THE PHONEBOOK! and recent statistics show that 9 out of every 10 people will search online before they even consider opening the phone book. - So we lose a massive amount of potential customers who will not see your phone book ads.

The modern marketing mix needs a balance of ALL of the the above methods, and a couple of extras which we can help you leverage to get maximum bang for your advertising buck.  Contact us for a marketing plan, to really get AND MEASURE results
