Advertising Comparison

There’s more and more research that indicates that email advertising will continue to trend upward, as more traditional forms of advertising trend lower.

*        Newspaper circulations have been experiencing significant declines. The long decline in newspaper circulation over the years continues to accelerate, with sales in the spring and summer, falling almost 5 percent from the previous year, figures recently released in the New York Times show, deepening the financial strain on the industry.

*        Radio advertising effectiveness continues to decrease as more consumers listen to satellite radio in their cars. Estimates are that 35.6 million Americans will subscribe to a satellite radio service. Additionally, radio advertising is not locally targeted.

*        Consumers in about 30% of U.S. homes currently use TiVo or devices known as digital video recorders (DVR's) to skip commercials, according to Standard & Poor's Equity Research. Additionally, as with radio advertising, television advertising is not locally targeted.

*        Postage and telemarketing expenses continue to rise, limiting the amount of advertising with these mediums.

Now that we’ve done the research (I’m assuming that you’ve read to this point) you might want to consider letting GFA e-Marketing customize an email campaign to match your target audience regardless of the size of your budget. The program puts you in control of your advertising campaign – it’s easy to use, powerful, and cost effective.

It’s time to surrender to modern technology.
