Working the Advertising/Linking/Mediakit Angle -
Media Packs for Web site promotion and internet advertising
... Many AdXChange members generate additional online income
through media packs or online ad-pr packs. Promote your website advertising program by
creating an Internet
Advertising/Marketing Guide for your web presence. MEDIA
PACKS: Don't just build links, build relationships.
Sure,
everybody has rates within their media pack, but rarely is there
anything included that really impresses media buyers. One often
overlooked aspect of media packs is to explain who actually sees
the advertiser messages and more importantly how you get visitors
to your own site. Online media packs (recently referred to as
"ad-pr packs") are an excellent way to build an
advertising clientele by impressing them with not just your
message, but your online reach as well. Did
you know that search engines and relevant inbound links from
websites drive an almost equal share of traffic on the World Wide
Web? That's why building links is such an essential part of
your overall web success. If
you're a responsible online media buyer or interactive internet
advertising agency looking for some creative ideas to push
product, improve branding or simply drive traffic, use these
following tips to focus on your overall success. Share
the Love: If you're spending ore receiving ad dollars online,
chances are good that you've talked to some pretty accommodating
online ad sales people! Share a direct link from your website to
theirs - it will increase their overall page rank on search
results and let readers of your media pack know that you're
serious about your business, you're dedicated to building
community and you appreciate a relationship that contributes to
your company's overall success.
Flash
is Nice; Audio and Video are Better: I would never suggest
that using Flash is passé, but using audio and video within
websites' ad-pr packs is an exceptional way to build relationships
online. There is no denying that speaking with someone directly
dramatically increases retention. If you're building a media pack,
add an audio archive of important developments or a video snapshot
of your CEO or owner saying something motivational.
Build
Trust; Impress Your Advertising Message: There is no better
place than within your advertising or media ad-pr pack to display
your affiliations. If you're involved with collecting
information or making sales on any level, it is important that the
visitors know who they are dealing with and that they are a
reputable and trustworthy company. Sites that use validation seals
such as ValidatedSite.com
offer an approval service for your web campaigns.
Toot Your Horn: If you've got it, flaunt it. Show
visitors of your media ad-pr pack that you're respected and have
earned your rightful place within your category of business or
niche industry. For those interested, Ranking.com
provides free website seals that ranks websites according to
popularity metrics such as unique visitors, page view, visits and
links.
