  2. What Is Promotion? • Promotion is a communication process consisting of • advertising • publicity • sales promotion • and salesmanship

  3. The AIDA model • AIDA model is a framework for understanding how hypermedia can be used to reach promotional goals. • The AIDA process indicates that: • First the attention of the target audience must be gained • Then interest created in the product or service • Desire generated • Action taken by the targeted audience. • The AIDA process is based on attitude models in which: • The audience first thinks about an object (cognition) • Develops feelings (affect) • Engages in some type of behavior (conation).

  5. Gaining Attention (2) • Steps to gain the audience's attention: • Include a site's URL or address in other media. • should be included in: • advertising copy and layouts • business cards, letterhead and other business collateral • banner ads located in other Web sites • direct email and other directed media • The use of URLs in print ads increased from around 10 percent of ads in 1995 to over 90 percent by 1998

  6. Hypermedia Hyperlinks • Gaining attention through Web sites: • Banner ads • Banner ads have not been highly effective in achieving click-through, or having an individual click on a linked banner to link to other sites. • Sponsorship (or co-branded ads) • Integrate a company's brand to the editorial content of the Web site. For example, a firm may sponsor a news site or community bulletin board -find some sponsored content on the web and add the URL to the class wiki

  7. Hypermedia Hyperlinks (2) • Interstitials • Automatically load and display content as Web site content is brought up. This includes the use of pop-up windows and freely float to display ad content, but more recently run between pages in the same window • Affiliate marketing strategies • Have content sites provide links to other, often commerce-based, sites. These are usually performance-based links, where the host site receives a percentage of sales or some other type of compensation for the click-through.

  8. Cookies and Tracking • Cookies are linked to databases • Allow for individualized design and pushing the Web site for the individual. • Tracking software: • Reads the behavior of the visitor by keeping track of the Web pages the visitor sees, how long they are viewed, what is passed over, what is placed in a shopping basket, and what is removed. • This behavior suggests the type of information the user may be interested in.

  9. Action • E-business Action Goals: • Have individuals visit a Web site • Provide information for databases • Obtain information for future purchases • Make online purchases.

  11. Loyalty • Businesses have an incentive to maintain the loyalty of customers because of the high value of lifetime customers. • Brick-and-mortar loyalty can be measured in repeat store visits and product repurchase. • Customers stay loyal because they believe that the cost of searching for information on new stores and products

  17. Agencies • Advertising agencies act as intermediaries by providing the talent to help set promotional objectives, create the content, place the promotion in the media, and provide feedback on the results of the campaign to the client. • Agencies: • DoubleClick (www.doubleclick.com) • USWeb (www.usweb.com) • Razorfish (www.razorfish.com)

  18. Timing • Traditional promotional campaigns use a mix of media to reach all of the AIDA goals. • Using a combination of broadcast and print over differing time periods. • The Web allows advertisers to develop sites where the target audience can visit whenever they want and as often as they like. • It is important that Web sites be refreshed to encourage the users to return.

  19. Measuring Effectiveness • Internet advertising has the potential for allowing the advertiser to capture information such as who sees which ad and for how long. • Web servers are able to track every time an individual moves from one linked page to another. • Dead pages, or pages no one visits, can be updated or deleted. • This data can be collected from both the sending server and the user's PC. • Data from cookies may even provide an indication of the profile of the user.

  22. Ad Blocking • Consumers can filter, or block ads from Web sites. • This shifts power from businesses to the consumers. • Filters look at the HTML code and checks files and file types against a filter list to block ads, interstitials, or animated banners. • There is a stronger interest in this type of technology inside of companies where blocking of ads can improve speed and network performance.

  26. Search Engines (1) • search engines should also be used so the business and its Web address will appear when the Web user searches for topics related to that business. • search engines are a cost-effective means of making people aware of a site, but they do not guarantee that a viewer will choose or remember the site.

  27. Search Engines (2) • Three types: • Search directories require that Web site be submitted for cataloging. • Search engines use Web spiders or web bots to collect information from sites. • Web spiders are bots, or software robots, that “crawl” through the Internet looking at Web sites. • Metacrawlers use the databases of multiple major search engines. These are good for power searches, but combining multiple results can lead to repetitive hits.

  28. Top of the Search • Search engines rules to place URLs at the top of the search (beginning of a search list): • Number of links to that site from other sites, especially sites with similar key words • The number of times the site has been viewed • Matches of certain text • Placing key words and phrases in the title, main content and hidden keyword and description metatags • Other criteria known only to the management of the search engine.
