Agencies
• Advertising agencies act as intermediaries by providing the talent to help set promotional objectives, create the content, place the promotion in the media, and provide feedback on the results of the campaign to the client.
• Agencies:– DoubleClick (www.doubleclick.com)
– USWeb (www.usweb.com)
– Razorfish (www.razorfish.com)
Timing
• Traditional promotional campaigns use a mix of media to reach all of the AIDA goals. – Using a combination of broadcast and print over
differing time periods.
• The Web allows advertisers to develop sites where the target audience can visit whenever they want and as often as they like. – It is important that Web sites be refreshed to
encourage the users to return.
Measuring Effectiveness• Internet advertising has the potential for allowing
the advertiser to capture information such as who sees which ad and for how long. – Web servers are able to track every time an individual
moves from one linked page to another.
– Dead pages, or pages no one visits, can be updated or deleted.
– This data can be collected from both the sending server and the user's PC.
– Data from cookies may even provide an indication of the profile of the user.
