November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
When we talk about advertising, we generally refer to commercial advertising or paid advertising done through traditional channels such as newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. The other advertising medium that has taken the world by storm is the Internet. Advertising, as the term is used today, is then broadly classified under two sections, Traditional advertising and online advertising. Before discussing how to devise an effective advertising strategy, we first need to understand the different types of advertising channels available to us.
As said, traditional advertising channels include newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. Of all these, newspapers and magazines can be said to be more popular than TV and radio given the fact they are comparatively less expensive and within the reach of small and mid-sized businesses. Then again, people read newspapers and magazines at their own leisure while for TV and radio, you have to buy fixed time slots for your advertisement.
Online advertising, also referred to as web advertising, is by far the cheaper option for reaching a global audience at minimal costs. There is nothing like your own website to promote your offerings. Then there are other options such as online banner advertisements, Google AdWords advertising, pay per click options that you can explore.
Now that you are clear about the mediums available, you can focus on devising an effective advertising strategy. To devise an effective advertising strategy you should take into consideration the pros and cons of each medium and then devise a marketing plan that exploits each medium to effectively communicate your message and reach your target audience. There are, of course other factors that you should take into consideration. Your budget, for instance, will go a long way in deciding which medium you use.
Given the cost effectiveness and global reach of online marketing, more and more companies are focussing their advertising strategy on using online resources. However, it is important to point out that there are millions of registered websites listed on domains and so it is really difficult to drive traffic to your website or in other words get your target customer group to visit it. Yes, there are search engine optimization methods available but when you devise an advertising strategy keep in mind that one of the proven ways to get your target audience to visit your site is to advertise it in newspapers and magazines. Research has shown that a startling 70 percent of people browse through the Internet to search for products and services that they have seen advertised in newspapers and magazines. So when you devise your advertising strategy do keep in mind that you can reap maximum benefits only if you judiciously combine online advertising with offline advertising.
Well this may seem cumbersome to some people for they would need to enquire about buying newspaper or magazine space and search for the right rates. Then again, which newspaper and magazine to advertise? Well if you have any such questions in mind, then you can take the help of companies and agencies that specialize in providing offline advertising support to online companies. One such company is Web Windows, UK based company that offers attractive packages in offline advertising in newspapers and magazines across the country.

Cartoons And Blogs
November 7, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Who says a blog can’t be humorous? It can be. In fact, it should be regardless of the subject matter tackled. Everybody needs a good laugh. Humor is something that people inherently crave to experience and at the same time want to share and what better way than with cartoons.
A blog is an online diary made up of short, frequently updated entries or posts that are arranged in reverse chronological order. In simple terms, a blog is where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff appears at the top of the blog page where visitors can read them. Readers can either comment on the post, link to it or they may choose not to. Many blogs are personal, “what’s in my mind” type of musings. Many people use blogs to organize personal thoughts. In recent years, blogging has become a phenomenon. It has evolved and now includes blogs that command influence and enjoy a global audience. These successful blogs have become effective channels for millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.
The personality of the blogger is the defining factor whether a blog will succeed or not. Dull and uninteresting blogs will not entice readers. Readers want to be informed but would like to be entertained too. Everybody knows that blogs demand readership to survive. Without readers, what is the purpose of the blog?
Sad to say, many bloggers take themselves and their writing too seriously. They have forgotten, albeit unintentionally, to have fun along the way and engage their readers in an exciting and pleasurable conversation. Sometimes, because of the gravity of the topic under discussion, bloggers tend to overlook that blogging is supposed to be an enriching but enjoyable part of their everyday life and the readers as well. Blogging is meant to be an effective but satisfying communication medium for sharing ideas and relevant information with others. Often times, instead of injecting wit and humor to the blog, the post ends up plain and dry, nothing that stirs interest or even bring a smile to the face of the readers.
You can employ different wonderful ways to make your blog fun and exciting. To break the monotony, you can write lighthearted posts that can also be related to your subject matter. Readers will appreciate a good laugh and can even relax their mind. A number of readers visit blogs not just to be informed about the freshest information but they are also hungry for articles that will tickle their funny bones. To lighten the mood, there are fun things you can do to your blog. You can provide horoscope readings of the stars, the moon, the planet or anything. You can even put a weekly crossword puzzle on your blog. Another idea is to write a comedy monologue detailing the hilarious blunders you committed or anything that will give life to your blog. Perhaps you can even post cartoons or run a series of them; something that your readers can look forward to and provide them with a good laugh. Cartoonists would just be ecstatic to display their work on your blog.
Cartoons are illustrations, usually humorous in nature. Cartoons may also be satirical illustrations of ideas. Caricatures, on the other hand, are satirical illustrations of people mostly famous personalities. Modern gag cartoons are typically published on magazines, newspapers and recently displayed on the Internet. A gag cartoon consists of a single drawing with a caption or speech balloon immediately below the illustration. A very popular take on cartoons are the editorial cartoons. They are variations of gag cartoons found almost exclusively in news publications. They also use humor but on a more serious tone usually using irony or biting wit to expose a vice or folly. The cartoons show a visual metaphor to bring home a point of view on present day and more often than not controversial social and political issues. They also include speech balloons and sometimes multiple panels.
In the United Kingdom, “comic strips” are called “strip cartoons” and are published daily in newspapers. These are basically brief series of cartoon illustrations. In the United States, they are known as “comics” or “funnies”, not cartoons. But the creators of comic strips as well as comic books and graphic novels are all referred to as cartoonists.
Cartoonist Mark Anderson has come up with one-of-a-kind daily cartoon add-ons for bloggers. You can now integrate free daily cartoons into your blog pages. If you want to inject some fun into your blog, you can add an “on topic” cartoon of the day to your blog. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the cartoon add-on is the presentation. Basically, graphic add-ons require a number of configurations. These would necessitate new pages and complicated codes. But Anderson’s cartoon add-ons work as polished thumbnails that can be displayed anywhere within your blog with just a single cut and paste code that allows for easy integration. The cartoon add-ons are often incorporated into the navigation sidebars. Readers can click to enlarge the image. A small new window pops up and shows the full size cartoon without covering or moving away from the original post.
The inventory of cartoon add-ons is refreshed daily so you are assured of new cartoon add-ons everyday. You can choose from an array of categories. This includes business cartoons, family cartoons, animal cartoons and many more. In this way, you can fit the cartoon’s humor to your post topic.
Dave Walker who draws cartoons for “The Church Times” and writes and draws for “The Cartoon Blog” and “The Dullest Blog in the World” has created extremely niche blogs. It is free to re-use his cartoons for blogs, mainly because he wants readers to enjoy his work. He also hopes that there may be readers who may like his works so much that they may be willing to pay to re-publish a cartoon or take interest in one of his other pet projects like “The Cartoon Blog” or “CartoonChurch.com”.
Even business blog networks have included business-related cartoons in their business blogs. Know More Media, an online publisher of business information and news and one of the world’s recognized business blog networks carry cartoons on a number of their niche business blogs. The cartoons are witty and insightful while still pertaining to the business world. A dose of witty humor adds value to the blogs.

Cartoons have the ability to communicate the truth through the use of humor.
“Writing and cartooning are very close cousins.” one cartoonist equipped. Writing a blog can help organize a blogger’s thoughts and help spark cartoon ideas. More and more cartoonists are publishing their works on blogs and really find an audience without having to pass through editors. Blogs with cartoons tend to draw attention to a blog thus driving traffic. With cartoons on blogs, the readers can react in a positive and often happy manner. A blog can keep readers laughing.
