The Relevance of traditional advertising





Some might think that traditional advertising is not as relevant as it was, because digital advertising is invading the industry, but we just need to remind ourselves why traditional advertising is relevant.

Firstly we need to establish that traditional advertising is not dead, and has never died and has never resurrected and come back to life it is very much alive, and people still pay close attention to it.

Even though traditional advertising is still there, people might think it has lost its relevance because it does not connect to a wider audience, but we tend to forget that with traditional advertising you get to connect to real people, so instead of connecting to those online hackers, whose only interest is hacking something on the web, you get to connect to your ordinary folks, which is something online media cannot help you fulfill, do not get me wrong I am not saying that people using online platforms are bots.

Another factor to consider if you are still battling with the question of whether or not traditional advertising is relevant remember that with new media, you can only reach a specific audience with in turn alienates the older generation who are not so clued up about online media and relate well to traditional media.

So at the end of the day the key fundamental to getting maximum results is to balance your exposure between the two, do not neglect the other in the efforts of thinking that the one that is more relevant.

So over and above, the two different types of advertising approaches are both important with an integrated strategy then companies are sure to get their much needed results.

After all we need to note that at the end of the day consumers are not the biggest fans of online ads, as they prevent them from their end goal online.

Traditional advertising dead? Think again!

 Byline: Unathi Nkanjeni While digital advertising may be growing rapidly and is great for reaching a specific set of consumers with targeted messages quickly, efficiently and at a lower cost - news flash, it is still far less effective than traditional media. Even the most data-driven company is working blindly when it comes to understanding what it gets from spending on digital advertising. How is traditional advertising still a thing? Although digital advertising provides more control, however, it is far less effective than traditional media in getting consumers to recall, that is, bring back to mind, an advertisement for a well-established fast-moving consumer goods product and may not be enough to increase their interest in purchasing the product. When you advertise in newspapers , flyers, TV , or on the radio , reaching your local audience can be simple. Also, with traditional advertising, your prospects can hold onto your advertisements. Whether they c...

Radio advertising rates in South Africa

Image
Byline: Unathi Nkanjeni Radio advertising might be seen as old-fashioned especially with the rise of the Internet and other types of media and that their audience has decreased. However, used right, as with cinema advertising, radio advertising can reach a captive audience with a targeted communication - and in South Africa, it's an excellent choice of medium as the number of people in our country depend on it for their news and entertainment. Whilst not cheap (unless you intend advertising on community radio stations), radio has long been a favoured advertising medium in our country. The challenge facing advertisers is not so much whether to use radio or not, but rather which radio stations. With endless stations to choose from - ranging from the more well-known and established stations to the lesser known stations - the inexperienced marketer can have a tough time deciding. The more well-known and established stations includes the likes of Kaya FM , 5FM ,...
