Advertising in modern marketing takes many forms and can be found in many media channels. For it to have the desired effect, it is important to know what makes advertising effective. How do you get consumers to take up your offer? Here are some suggestions!
Key features of advertising
What it should contain advertisement ? A fundamental aspect in its creation is the purpose it is intended to achieve. The company needs to establish what purpose the material is intended to serve. Examples of objectives include:
- new product promotion,
- increase sales and profits,
- strengthening brand image.
Depending on the objective adopted, the appropriate language of the advertisement and what it is supposed to contain is adjusted. Another feature is that the message should be clear and informative. The material should leave no doubt as to what it is about and who is communicating it. The content must be clear and understandable to the target groups.
The hallmark of advertising is persuasion. The message is always intended to persuade the recipient to take an action - to buy, register or read an offer. The medium in which the message is placed is also key. Examples include:
- billboardy,
- TV,
- internet.
When running campaigns on the internet, it is easy to measure their effectiveness with the help of special tools. It is possible to check how many potential customers are reached and what proportion of them take an action in relation to the posted material.
What are the characteristics of successful advertising?
The basic characteristics of good advertising are originality and creativity. In the plethora of material that audiences are confronted with these days, only irreverent and distinctive messages stand a chance of attracting attention. However, it must be acknowledged that imaginative content in marketing is also on the increase.
Effective advertising must be tailored to the needs of the target group. In order to fit in with the requirements of specific customers, the right communication channel and language must be chosen. An important element is the CTA, or call to action. The call to action is intended to encourage the recipient to take an action, e.g. to purchase a product.
In order for a CTA to be effective, the ad must present not only the good or service, but also the benefit the customer will gain from it. It should be credible, which means consistent with the brand image. Often, good messages use storytelling, i.e. incorporating the advertising content into the story being told.
Features of InPost advertising - attractive form and wide reach
At InPost, we know exactly what advertising should be, which is why we go out of our way to help all companies in need. You can arouse the interest of recipients, for example, by placing your promotional materials on our Paczkomat® machines.
We place brand advertisements on a minimum of four columns, which makes the message large-format and will not be missed by anyone using the machine. Of course, the veneers can be much larger and reach an area of up to several tens of square metres, i.e. use the entire Parcel Machine! It all depends on the personalised arrangements with the entrepreneur.
We can also highlight all the features of effective advertising on the screens of our devices, i.e. the monitors used to send and receive mail. This is the ideal place for a static message that will interest the user. If you are selling products, we encourage you to sample cache samples. In this way, you will reach many different audiences.
We are aware of the peculiarities of online advertising, which is why we offer three effective online solutions:
- The first is banner advertising on our official inpost.co.uk website.
- The second is related to advertising in the mobile app. It involves sending PUSH notifications via the InPost Mobile app. A short message about the brand encourages the user to click, and this leads directly to the company's website. Another option is to place a banner in the app.
- The third option is to send emails to our newsletter subscribers. The content of the message can include your company's advertisement.
