Companies often question whether they should be investing in online advertising or offline advertising.

In answering this question, the crux of the issue is what can best reach your audience, deliver the best results and offer the best return on investment? Online advertising, with its high degree of relevance, flexibility and its ease of measuring, offers a very viable and attractive option.

Alkemi can help you with all aspects of online advertising, as part of our online marketing services. For starters, below we have outlined some of the key benefits of online advertising compared with offline advertising.

Online advertising benefits:

• Qualified customers – online customers are already actively searching the Internet for something within your product or service category. (Compared to print, broadcast, display advertising etc where the person viewing the ad is not necessarily interested in your product).
• High ROI – compared to other marketing channels, online advertising has a high return on investment.
• Low cost – compared to other marketing channels, online advertising can be obtained at a very low cost. Costs can be scaled to how many customers your ads are intended to reach.
• Easy to measure – thanks to a range of sophisticated tracking tools, your online advertising investment can be accurately measured and analysed. Tracking tools provide rich data that you can use to continually fine-tune and improve your advertising.
• Flexible and specific – online advertising options offer a high degree of control and flexibility. For example you can switch your ads on and off at will, or make changes day to day. Matching your ads to very specific audiences, based on keyword searches, is easy.

Overall, compared to offline advertising, online advertising can easily be more targeted, cost effective and measurable.
