Small businesses often have limited spending power when it comes to advertising. Usually, most of the cash is tied up in stock, wages and everyday running costs and advertising and marketing are way down the list of priorities. Sadly, this is rather foolish, however understandable it may seem. It is quite difficult to find advertising methods that actually produce results. Frequently, the return on investment is unquantifiable and extremely hard to gauge.

The Advertising Minefield

The entire process of advertising can be rather frustrating. I remember in my own case trying out lots of different types including print media, radio and leaflet drop and to this day, I am not sure if any of the methods described actually produced any results.

It’s very much a case of “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”. While I wasn’t sure whether any of my advertising attempts worked, I was also aware of the need to promote and publicise my business.

Online Advertising – A Breath of Fresh Air

Online advertising has certainly been a game changer. Suddenly, at reasonable costs, you can reach thousands and thousands of real potential customers, which has been a completely new phenomenon. By picking the right website to match your target group, you can pinpoint potential customers and directly reach them in the comfort of their own home, at work or on their beloved mobile device.

Considering how reasonably priced online advertising is, the reach and precision are unbelievable. My business profited from advertising on smartly selected websites.

Consequently, when we were approached by wannabe advertisers, I wanted to provide the best possible package, simply because I was aware of how fraught advertising can be.
