Using OOH to Influence Local Lead Generation

Just as television and radio have joined the digital media world, so too has Outdoor advertising. Yet OOH(Out-of-Home) is different from those media in one important way. It does not divide its audience between digital and traditional formats. Instead, the choice between static and digital panels depends on economics and infrastructure. Both formats support lead generation. Knowledgeable advertising agencies understand using OOH to influence local lead generation. Most of us do not really consider whether a sign is digital or traditional. We react to the image and message. For advertisers, the process begins with our objective. Then, we define who [...]

Integrating Radio with Social Media

Radio and social media remain two of the most reliable channels for reaching large audiences. Each can move people to act when used with a clear strategy.

You also create a stronger path for Lead Generation because people hear and see your message in different ways. Integrating radio with social media has many benefits.

Television Advertising Still Works

Not too long ago a Personal Injury attorney could buy 4–5 TV networks in a market and reach 90% of the population. That is no longer the case. But that does not mean you should avoid the medium. TV is still one of the best ways to tell a story and move an audience. We need to approach TV differently now. Television advertising still works—used the right way. One can no longer think of TV as just the box in the living room delivering CBS, NBC, and similar networks. Instead, treat it as sight, sound, and motion, not a platform. [...]

Your Website Needs FAQ’s

Frequently asked questions or FAQ’s on websites are not new. They have always been a useful tool in creating content and answering basic questions.
