If you’re not advertising in local news media right now, you’re leaving money on the table.
Why? Because news media is having a moment.
Thanks to political uncertainty, economic turbulence, and social media mistrust, people are turning to local news more than ever. And that means businesses have a golden opportunity to get in front of an engaged, highly targeted audience—one that actually pays attention.
People are more skeptical than ever, and it’s no secret why. We’re bombarded by flashy ads, social media influencers, and promotional stunts that often promise more than they deliver. This environment has left audiences wary. They’re questioning what they see and hear, and for good reason. Amid this confusion, one platform has managed to keep its reputation for credibility: news media.
Without question, the advertising landscape evolves every election cycle with the mounds of data available to Political Media Buyers and candidate Campaign Managers. Because of this evolution of landscape in political advertising, traditional news media staying ahead means embracing change and innovation. It’s an opportunity for news media to redefine their role and capitalize on the unique value they offer to political campaigns.
Gone are the days where a family of four sits around a dining room table enjoying a meal while the husband sits puffing his Sherlock pipe while reading the newspaper, right? Wrong. Well, partly. Who knows how families enjoy their meals together anymore, but one thing is for sure, people still read newspapers in print and online, and because of that, Newspapers can still flex on the playground because they supply unparalleled benefits compared to other forms of marketing.
In an unpredictable economic landscape, businesses often face challenging decisions. Expenses are scrutinized, budgets are tightened, and cost-cutting measures are taken. And, oftentimes, it’s the marketing budget that seems to be the most tempting to cut. But let me tell you, doing so can have severe long-term implications on your business.
All right, entrepreneurs. You want to market your company without wasting a lot of money, but you’re not sure where to begin. You’re in good hands with your helpful personal marketer, so don’t worry.
Over-the-top (OTT) marketing has become an effective marketing tool for businesses of all shapes and sizes, but specifically for small businesses trying to compete on an equal level with larger businesses within the TV space.
The goal of niche marketing is to target a tightly defined group of consumers. A niche market strategy focuses on a certain demographic, tailoring products and messaging to their specific wants and interests, as opposed to trying to appeal to a large and diversified audience.
Demographics have long been used as a tool for segmenting target audiences because marketing to the right audience is critical to the success of any business. However, demographics by themselves don’t necessarily provide the full picture.
An important step in the hiring process is recruitment advertising, which helps in attracting top talent to your business. However, deciding the best strategy might be difficult given the wide range of available channels and methods.
