Benefits of Aerial Advertising
November 22, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Although business owners might not think of aerial advertising when planning their annual advertising budget, they should.
There are many distinct advantages to using airplane advertising. In many cases, the advantage of using plane advertising over more “traditional” advertising mediums is quite significant.
When planning an advertising budget, business owners should consider the distinct advantages of using aerial advertising as a medium to get a message across. The return on the initial investment could be significant.
Some of the benefits include:
Cost savings
First, aerial advertising is cost effective. You can easily reach thousands of people in a small period of time. You don’t have to assume they’ll watch the commercial and not flip the channel. You can be assured that when airplane messages appear, they will look skyward and pay attention to the advertisement that’s passing over.
That means there is no money wasted on advertising that won’t be read or paid attention to. In fact, it’s estimated that plane advertising costs about 50 cents per thousand people. No matter the deal offered by a radio station or a newspaper, it’s hard to beat the return on the aerial advertising dollar. Cost effective it is.
Novelty
It’s unusual and provides a break from the usual. People pay attention to aerial advertising, likely because it’s not something you see often. When they are laying in the sun on the beach on a lazy July day, they look skyward when airplane messages appear.
In addition, that novelty leads to memory. That is, people remember the aerial adds they see more than they remember other types of advertising. This is partly due to the novelty – they stop and say “hey, look at that plane and the banner!” – But it’s also the attention the banners garner. Studies show that people will generally watch the aerial advertising as is passes over and will continue to watch it until it disappears from sight. That’s a solid block of time where the intended audience is focusing on the advertiser’s message.
Non intrusive
To get the message across, advertisers who use banner towing aren’t intruding on people’s homes, their living room tables or their cars. They are simply providing a message that’s flown over the beach, or an event or other gathering.
People don’t feel as if their privacy, opinions or personal reading has been invaded. This advertising actually does something that most advertising can’t do – provide a welcome distraction, entertainment and a novel thing to talk about.
Increase ad recall
People remember aerial advertising more than any other advertising medium. Studies have shown that when questioned, 77% of the people who had just seen airplane advertising remembered what was being advertised on the banner. Another 67% could remember what was being advertised.
These numbers are far greater than the response to other kinds of advertising like radio and print ads.
All of these benefits add up to one great benefit – better use of your advertising dollar and a better return on that dollar.
Aerial Advertising services are available from companies that specialize in this type of advertising. The Internet is a good source of information when it comes to choosing aerial advertising services. Arnold Aerial Advertising is one of the companies that provide such services. Located in New York, Arnold Aerial Advertising provides nationwide service with affordable rates.
Advertising for Your Niche Websites
November 22, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Let’s take a look at how advertising is done for your niche websites. Many of you who are interested in Internet niche marketing will focus on creating websites which either promote products or services which you sell directly or entice website visitors to click on an advertiser’s link. The former is typically considered a commercial website while the latter typically refers to a pay per click website where the website owner profits when the users click on the advertisers’ links. In this article we will examine both types of websites and will discuss options for finding advertisers for each type.
Advertising for a Commercial Website
As previously mentioned a commercial website is one in which the website offers products or services for sale directly. In this scenario those who operate the website are generally profiting through the sale of products or services. However, this is not the only possibility for revenue. Savvy Internet marketers realize the opportunity for placing advertising on their website. You, the marketer may still profit from sales through your website but may also profit through these advertisements as well.
One obvious possibility for profit is through sale of advertisement space on the website. In this case the advertiser may pay you the website owner a monthly fee to run a particular advertisement for a set period of time. Here the you website owner collects their fees in exchange for displaying the advertisement and the profit is not linked to sales generated for the advertiser.
The key to finding advertisers for a commercial website is to select another website which complements your products and services without directly competing for your business. For example a website which sells surfboards and surfing lessons may solicit advertisements from companies who sell bathing suits. This is a symbiotic relationship because the owner of the surfboard website receives the advertising dollars and the owner of the bathing suit website receives the potential for increased website traffic.
When searching for an advertiser it is wise to be prepared to provide them with useful information. Information which will be particularly relevant to potential advertisers is current search engine rankings and recent traffic statistics. This is important because the advertiser wants to know the potential for increased traffic to his website. An advertiser is much more likely to invest in advertising on a top ranking website with high traffic than on a poor ranking website with few monthly visitors.
Finding Advertisers for a Pay per Click Website
Generally speaking, pay per click websites are informational websites which provide content and information relative to the advertisers on the website in an attempt to entice visitors to click on the advertiser’s links. Pay per click campaigns may also run on commercial websites but when this is the case they are considered to be a secondary form of profit.
Finding advertisers for pay per click websites is often a simple process. This process is usually simplified by the fact that the advertiser is not paying the website owner for just placing the ad on the website. The advertiser pays the website owner when visitors click through the link to his website. This lowers the risk for the advertiser by ensuring he is only paying for visitors who actually enter his website.
There are many free programs available, where relevant advertisements are served to websites. Google AdSense is one example of this type of program. In this program, websites are evaluated for content and relevant advertisements are placed on the website each time it is viewed. Some of these advertisements may pay per impression meaning the website owner generates revenue each time the advertisement is displayed but the majority of these advertisements are pay per click meaning the revenue is generated when a user clicks on these links.
There are also other programs available which operate essentially as link exchanges. These programs will require you to display a certain number of advertisements on your website in exchange for each website which displays an advertisement for your website. These programs are very convenient because you don’t have to search for advertisers but the downside is you may not have much control over the advertisements which are placed on your website.

Get Attention From Your Designs by Creating a Blog
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
By Anthony Marsh The Internet has made it extremely easy for anybody who is willing to start a blog and use it to garner attention for what they are selling. From teenagers to Fortune 500 companies, many have come to the realization that writing a blog can attract attention and generate a consistent readership and following. Blogs have become excellent vehicles for communicating news, keeping in touch with a large number of fans and customers simultaneously, highlighting expertise, presenting an introduction to a line of products, and delivering fresh content for the search engines.If you’ve never actually published a blog, you will be amazed at how easy it is to get up and running. There are many blogging platforms available like Wordpress or Blogger. These resources allow you to set up an account without cost and be live in a short period of time. These providers offer design templates that you simply choose by clicking on your favorite. You get an administration panel that makes it easy to add features or remove them.
A blog is really one of the simplest ways to start getting a web presence that is available to everyone completely free. You’re not required to pay for the account, the storage, or anything else. In return, the site might include some advertising on your blog, but once you get a feel of things, you can pay a small fee to get this removed. Or, if you have a little bit of technical skills and have a domain name and hosting you can install a blog using wordpress or one of the many other available scripts. Most times the control panel of your web hosting services will allow you to install wordpress with a single click. If not, you can download it at Wordpress and with a little FTP knowledge, install it in 5 minutes or so. It’s really that easy.Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by a lack of knowledge of computers or the Internet. There is no need to be technically talented at all to start a blog. As you continue to use the blog, you may want to include pictures and videos which may take some learning, but it still is nothing to be intimidated by.
Deliver The GoodsIn the beginning, all you will need to do to start getting visitors is to make sure that you deliver something that is interesting on your blog. If you’re serious in establishing a web presence you’ll want to have a minimum of two blogs. One that shares news specifically about your company, brand and designs. You’ll also want a second one that covers the t-shirt industry and culture with a few plugs and links here and there about your own products, along with some affiliate links to other t-shirt sites.Many first-time bloggers make the mistake of creating a blog that serves as a personal diary, with random posts on a wide variety subjects. While this may be interesting to a small segment of people, it’s not the best choice to bring visitors from the major search engines who prefer targeted content. So, stick with the subject of t-shirts, and develop your content around that niche. You could offer reviews on specific designs and brands, report sales and coupon codes, offer designing tips and tutorials or an endless choice of content. Use your imagination and you’ll come up with a unique vision for your blog that will get the attention you are seeking for your designs and brand.Try to review your posts before publishing to make sure they are relatively free of misspellings and grammatical errors. Try to include titles, subheadings, bulleted lists, and white space to make the copy easy on the eye. Many readers do not want to come into a blog and see a single paragraph written in poor English, no matter how interesting the subject. It’s just too hard to read.Anthony Marsh is the owner of http://www.popularthreadz.com and a half dozen other t-shirt brands. He is also the publisher of the online resource http://www.teebiz.com, which covers the t-shirt business and culture,
