First of all you tell them what you want to advertise and your budget and the back ground to your company as much info as you can, they go off and do some designs it can be anything from letterheads, comp slips, bags, packaging and mousemats to posters,radio and tv campaigns, if you want a website they will design and get that up and running for you. They will then present all this to you with costs and predicted impact on your business if you like it you go ahead if not tell them what you want changing. They will do everything all you have to a check the artwork or the ad and say yes or no and they will send if to the papers for example if its press advertising or off to printers if you want brochures printing or a bag company if you want bags printed etc etc. They make sure there are no spelling mistakes on anything they will get everything delivered on time to where ever you want, this saves you time and stress.

I used to organize my work with reference to the priority and time constraints. If you are working in advertising world, you should be good with time and stress management. Deadlines are always there that creates stessfull situations. My suggestion is to organize the work on daily basis. See what you have to do when and coordinate with your creative, media depts. Always give them an early deadline so that they can work on time even in case of delays you can be safe for delivering the job committed.

Memorability. Your new product or service must be introduced in such a way that your target audience will remember it.

Targetability: Once you’ve come up with a creative way to deliver your message, you need to get it to the audience that’s most likely to buy. This is more easily done through promotional products than it is with something like, say, television commercials or billboards. Using promotional items as incentives to generate trade show traffic, or as part of your product launch’s direct mail campaign, is a great way to target the people who could benefit from your product or service.

http://www.cafepress.com will allow you to buy blank media. They also will let you design it, and make a commission from selling it on their site, while they do all of the actual printing. Another place to try is http://www.vistaprint.com but I am unsure of what all they have to offer. I use their free business cards, and magnets, but that is about all I know of them. Hope this helps

admin answers:

in general, tee shirts, hats and pens are the most widely distributed promotional products, so we might assume they are the most effective. Of course it may depend on the context, in an event atmosphere you may have printed mugs or napkins, if you run a car wash maybe a window cleaner would be a nice item.

I think there are at least two avenues for you to consider.

An advertising agency or a marketing communications firm might be interested in your newspaper for two reasons:

1. The Media Director of the agency might be interested in reaching what, from your description, sounds like a very tight and well-defined demographic audience. In order to interest a media director, however, you will have to be able to provide detailed information about your newspaper. This would include the following:

• circulation – how many readers do you have?
• demographics – what is the actual demographic makeup of your readership? What is their ethnic makeup? How old are they? What kind of incomes do they have? Do they work in white collar jobs or blue collar jobs?
• distribution – how do you reach your readers? Are you a paid newspaper or a free paper? What is the geographic distribution of your paper?
• how long you’ve been in business?
• how much are your ad rates? Do you offer a 15% discount to agencies for commission?

As you can see there are a lot of details that you will need to provide in writing or on the web about your publication. This is just basic Media Kit information – every tv and radio station has them, as do all print media vehicles: magazines, newspaper and trade magazines.

Another approach to reaching ad agencies and communication firms is on the basis of submitting stories or press releases that might be of interest to your readers. Agencies are always looking for new outlets for their stories. Such a relationship could prove to be a win-win for everyone.

Good luck.

Marketing techniques are the techniques used by corporations, companies or individuals to market products or services. These can be broken into two categories: online and offline.

Online marketing breaks down into a few basic components, which are:
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) – the art of designing and creating websites, and then promoting and getting links in such a way as to make it rank for certain terms in the natural listings in the search engines, like the left hand listings on Google
Pay Per Click (PPC) – paid, or sponsored listings in search engines. Better written advert copy, more budget allocated per click and better conversions all affect how highly the advert ranks. An example of these is the right hand listings in Google.
Permission eMail Marketing – the sending of solicited (where the reciever has given consent to be emailed) email, advertising offers, or simply giving information. Newsletters and to an extent, RSS feeds fall into this category.
PR Copy Distribution – distributing press releases and marketable copy online. Includes press packs, articles, information packs, ebooks and ezines.

Offline marketing has many methods, such as TV adverts, radio advertising, billboards, adverts on buses, TV/radio interviews, cinema advertising, product placement… There are thousands of methods, so I won’t be listing them all here. However, if you check out the links bit below, you’ll find more information there.

There are also some methods which cross over, such as viral adverts, where something travels by word of mouth, video adverts, which can be put up also on YouTube and MySpace videos, interviews broadcast online and offline, and distributed as PodCast. In fact, increasingly we’re seeing offline and more traditional media marketing and advertising systems become adapted to and integrated with online systems. A good example is the Apple Mac vs Windows adverts, or the Snakes on a Plane marketing push.

Looking to the future, we’ll see more and more integration, as marketing techniques becomes more about engagement with brand, rather than traditional sales pushes, creating new jobs and industries within the marketing sector.

I find questions that require a “deeper” answer get better answers in the Q&A of LinkedIn. Their Q&A attracts a lot of professionals in the field of marketing, advertising and in this case, direct marketing.

My suggestion is to look at some examples of this type of business model. Franchising brokers and directories, for example, offer this type of business model where the advertisers (franchisers) post their info for a fee and then they pay based on the leads that they get

To be honest, where you went to school doesn’t really matter in Advertising. Neither does the degree you receive. People with Psychology degrees, English degrees, and Economics degrees have jobs in the Advertising field. The most important thing when applying for positions is your work experience. The best thing you can do while still attending school is to get internships. I had three internships while in school and learned more there than in my 4 years in college (with an Advertising degree). These internships are what Human Resource departments look at too.

Good luck!

admin answers:

The best way to network would have been through internships. Companies usually pay close attention to the interns, for employ ability.

At every place I’ve worked (I’m a Controller), the Operations Manager is responsible for all aspects of the operations including sales & marketing. You should be able to delegate those tasks, but they would ultimately be your responsibility.

Marketing is a social and managerial function that attempts to create, expand and maintain a collection of customers. It attempts to deliver demand satisfying output through profitable exchanges.

Advertising is paid communication through a non-personal medium in which the sponsor is identified and the message is controlled. Variations include publicity, public relations, product placement, sponsorship, underwriting, and sales promotion. Every medium is used to deliver these messages: television, radio, movies, magazines, newspapers, the internet, and billboards.

Advertising plays a critical role in capitalist economies in creating demand for industrial output. Thus, advertising clients are predominantly profit-seeking corporations. In 1997, in the U.S. alone, over $175 billion USD was spent on advertising. Non-profits are not typical advertising clients, and rely upon free channels, such as public service announcements.

While advertising can be seen as necessary for economic growth, it is not without social costs. Unsolicited Commercial Email and other forms of spam have become so prevalent as to have become a major nuisance of users of these services, as well as being a financial burden on internet service providers.Advertising is increasingly invading public spaces, such as schools, which some critics argue is a form of child exploitation. One scholar has argued that advertising is a toxic by-product of industrial society which may bring about the end of life on earth.

Public relations (PR) is the art of managing communication between an organization and its key publics to build, manage and sustain a positive image.

admin answers:

Marketing is more about the business of sales. Advertising is the more creative end of sales.
