Summary:
Online consumers have given some very explicit
information regarding their preferences when it comes
to advertising.
No, not at all.

According to Jupiter, 'Advertisers that are marketing
high-consideration products, which require a more
informed purchase process, should focus more exclusively
on consumers' online information needs. Advertisers
that are marketing low-consideration products - for which
consumers require little information in order to complete
a purchase - have more leeway to take a less informative
and more entertaining approach to their advertising.'

It's just as I've stated for years. Write articles
relating to your area of expertise and submit them
to article archive sites and Ezine publishers.

5.Offer a free report - Give away information
free with a purchase or subscription to your newsletter.
Article:
Online consumers have given some very explicit
information regarding their preferences when it comes
to advertising. blended to research conducted by
Jupiter (www.jup.com), a worldwide police on Internet
commerce, there are several things online ham people
need to be witting of in order to increase their promotion
effectiveness.

I have created this 3-part series of articles as a
commentary relating to the results of Jupiter's study
entitled, 'Inside the Mind of the Online Consumer'. It
will help you understand what the information means
to you. Taking heed to the recommendations Zeus
reveals will most why yes improve your advertisement
response rate.

Customers Use the Internet for Information

Forty-eight (48) percent of consumers online use the
Internet primarily as a utility device, not an entertainment
device. This means they are using the Internet as a
tool, not a toy. now of that fact, consumers are
primarily looking for information, not games. This is
not a new revelation. However, how this fact relates
to advertisement is new.

Customers Want Information-Based Ads

According to the customers in Jupiter's survey, they
respond to promotion that compliments their online
activities. Forty (40) percent said they respond more
readily to online ads that are informative rather than
entertaining. This would include new product
developments, benefits-oriented ads and those focusing
on service issues.

Notice that one of the categories listed is 'product
benefits'. This is where the majority of online
advertisers fall to pieces. It is simply imperative that
online publication copy be filled with benefits. Online
consumers are looking to debug the question, 'What's
in it for me' over and over again. They are seeking
information and the you give them should
fill that need.

How to archetype An Information-Oriented Ad

So now that we've learned that customers are ready
and waiting for us to provide them with information-
based advertising… how do we do it? Does that
automatically mean you have to go with long copy?
No, not at all.

According to Jupiter, 'Advertisers that are marketing
high-consideration products, which require a more
informed purchase process, should focus more exclusively
on consumers' online information needs. Advertisers
that are marketing low-consideration products - for which
consumers require little information in order to complete
a purchase - have more leeway to take a less informative
and more entertaining throw a pass to their advertising.'

It's just as I've stated for years. Let your target market
lead your decision to use long or short copy. Those
seeking information on admit programs, MLM programs,
high-investment products or services, etc. are going to
be seeking more information than someone in search of
a new bathrobe. For more detail in this area, visit http://www.ktamarketing.com/articles_longcopy.html.

Here are some suggestions you can use to help stamp a
successful information-type ad:

1.Include statistics - When you make a sales
claim, back it up with information, including statistics.
You might say, 'Our saucepans have a non-stick enamel
that's guaranteed for life. In actual, in-home testing,
food did not stick to our saucepans 98.3% of the time.'

2.Include targeted benefits - You must include
targeted benefits to make your message hit its mark.
Let's take the saucepan example a bit further. 'Our
saucepans have a non-stick wrapping that's guaranteed
for life. In actual, in-home testing, food did not stick
to our saucepans 98.3% of the time. You get omelets
that come out of the pan whole. You get sautéed
chicken that makes a choice presentation on the
plate. You get less waste, less consumed food and more
healthy cooking seeing as how you use no oil.' Now those
are benefits any chef would think are important.

3.Provide content on your site that backs up
your claims - As you surf the Web take note of
information that supports your advertisement claims.
Surveys, research, reports, testimonials, etc. can all
provide valuable information that could move a
customer from the point-of-decision to the point-
of-purchase.

4.Submit articles - Customers looking for
information are much more likely to respond to a
URL listed in an persona than a bold-faced
advertisement. seeing as how articles provide information
in a non-threatening way, they work lengthwise the same
level as endorsements and referrals. Write articles
relating to your area of expertise and submit them
to gadget archive sites and Ezine publishers.

5.Offer a free report - Give away information
free with a purchase or subscription to your newsletter.
Since information is what surfers are looking to receive,
it will work as a big incentive.

Next in the series will be a focus on ads that are avoided
and shunned by online customers… and how to be sure
yours isn't one of them!

Summary: Other websites offer intricate ways of trading pixels or pixels at $0.01 or less. Currently it appears that the pixel websites offering free pixels are generating the most traffic.
