Questions 165 to 168 refer to the following article.WEB ADVERTISING
Given the increasing importance of e-commerce it has become vital for companies to consider setting up online advertising campaigns. This is quite a complex area, however, some basic, simple rules should be kept in mind when addressing this issue. Although obvious, a clearly defined goal for the campaign is the essential first step. Without reflection on this matter, it is virtually impossible to design an effective campaign. This item is of course directly related to defining and knowing your target population. Make sure you know precisely who you are reaching out to and use the terminology, references and motivating factors that will appeal to this audience. Remember that your message should be clear and simple. Your ad should include a single, strong message which can be understood within the few seconds that your target audience will actually spend looking at your ad. Avoid complicated ads as they will distract your target audience. However good your ad may be, it will not be effective if you do not set up an appropriate click-through experience to support it. Another important point is to set up a strong call for action for your target audience. Strong and direct calls for action can include exhortations such as “For a limited time only, “Free shipping” or “Limited supplies”. Careful thought should also be given to eye-tracking data in terms of the positioning of your ad on the web page. Finally, a clearing strategy needs to be defined regarding the landing page for every operation. Landing pages should obviously be tailored to the requirements and expectations of your target audiences(s).
