Avoiding Banners and Spammy Direct Email Campaigns

February 14th, 2009

There are a number of ways to maximize the profits of your internet business and often they have nothing to do with increasing revenue. Case in point, if you are pulling in $1,000 a week and spending $1,100 you are losing $100, and if you are pulling in $400 a week and spending $300 you are making a $100 profit. Sadly, many people look at the person “earning” $1,000 as successful despite the fact that this person is overspending with little result. Such is the case when it comes to online marketing and the traditional banner ads and email campaigns of the past.

Yes, at one time these methods of advertising were successful ways of drawing in a potential buyer. Placing a low cost banner ad on a website drew a ton of attention to products in the past. Same with email marketing which essentially took the age old concept of direct mail marketing and made it electronic. Times, however, have changed and these methods of marketing – while still somewhat useful – really can no longer be the strategic basis of a marketing campaign.

With banner ads the actual purchases on “click thru’s” have diminished. Also, the number of people clicking on banners has diminished as well. Part of the reason for this is that people have become wary of the spyware intrusions that banner ads often bring. For email marketing, it was overexposure that killed the beast. Essentially, people have become tired of receiving absurd amounts of “spam” emails everyday and this has led to greatly tuning out on advertisers who use such campaigns. This is to say nothing of the increased costs of dealing with bulk email marketing providers.

The landscape of internet marketing has changed greatly from prior years. These days, it would be far more effective to look into search engine optimization, blogging, video marketing and other social marketing methods for ones online marketing needs. Economics simply dictates as such.
