...Advertising & the Internet The Internet has revolutionized the world in many ways, including the method in which companies promote their products. With its low-cost advertising and abundance of e-commerce through the Internet, many companies have benefited with the reduction in their marketing and advertising costs. Although in the U.S. Internet advertising revenues for the first half of 2009 declined by 5.3% from the previous year, interactive marketing is still one of the advertising sectors that have been the least affected by the economic downturn (www.iab.net). There are many different types of advertising including ad insertions, banner ads, Social network advertising, compensation advertising, blogs, cookies, and spam. Display ads, classified ads, and search engine ads are three advertising categories created by the Internet over the past decade. The flexibility and ease of access of the Internet has made it a target for many companies for Internet advertising. There is a greater range in which advertisers can reach their target markets by advertising through the Internet. The Internet spans the globe, which means that targeted markets can be exposed to the advertisements at once, rather than needing to advertise in different newspapers, television stations, and radio stations. Traditional television advertisements require periodic updating while an Internet advertisement may be updated less frequently. The ease of updating or changing an ad also increases the...

..."DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERNET ADVERTISEMENT AND TV ADVERTISEMENT IN BUILDING STRONG BRANDS" WHAT IS A BRAND? According to Rita Clifton, CEO of Interbrand Newell and Sorrell - a leading specialist brand consultancy firm - a brand is: "A mixture of tangible and intangible attributes, symbolized in a trademark, which, if properly managed, creates influence and generates value" This definition truly captures the essence of a brand, and highlights the importance of brand management. Branding is about creating 'value', both for customers, and for the company. This value stems from the products and services that companies create and bring to the market, but extends further to encompass added values derived from factors such as the brand-customer relationship, the brand's emotional benefits and its self-expressive benefits. Other common descriptions of a brand include - a 'relationship', a 'reputation', a 'set of expectations', and a 'promise'. It is a company's promise to consistently deliver a specific set of features, benefits, and services to customers. Brands are richly endowed entities. They start life as ideas, making their way into planning and strategy documents, yet ultimately reside as consumer perceptions. For some companies, brands are their most valuable asset. The space a brand occupies inside a customer's head can create a 'mental' patent, which grows out of the cumulative memory and the experiences customers have of products or services. As...

...象。本文对此也提出了弥补方法，一是加大在移动互联网端的广告投入，二是通过移动 互联网营销的实际案例，提出移动互联网时代新型的更有效的营销方式。 关键词：移动广告 中外对比 移动互联网营销 I Abstract With the substantial popularization of mobile devices and the development of wireless Internet technology, mobile Internet media market has shown an amazing boom in China. To differentiate the similarities and differences between mobile Internet media market in China and overseas, I collect data in terms of market scale, mobile ad target industry and mobile Internet media. The result shows that there is still a huge gap for Chinese mobile Internet advertising market to cover. Although the future of Chinese mobile Internet ad is bright and promising, it is still facing a major problem which is lack of marketing. I find that the percentage of time people spent on mobile devices is disproportionately larger than that of the money advertisers invest in mobile Internet advertising. In order to solve this problem, two ways are recommended. First, the advertisers should pay attention to the surge of this new media and invest more in mobile ad. Second, the advertiser should utilize the special characters of mobile Internet and create new and efficient ways of marketing which can only be effective in this upcoming mobile Internet age.

...in this reading brief paper,“ The Effect Of Banner Advertising on Internet Purchasing ” investigated the relationship between banner advertising and purchasing patterns on the internet. The authors used a behavioral database that consists of customer purchases at a Web site and individual advertising exposure. The authors measure the impression of banner advertising on current customers’ probability of repurchase while accounting for duration dependence. (1) The authors formulate a model of individual purchase timing behavior as a function of advertising exposure. A survival model was used to model the probability of a current customer making a purchase in any given week (since the last purchase). The duration dependence in the customers’ purchase behavior is captured through a flexible, piecewise exponential hazard function. The advertising covariates enter through a proportional hazards specification. These covariates, consist of strictly advertising variables, such as weight and quality, as well as advertising/individual browsing variables, represented by how many and which pages expose customers to advertising. The model is cast in a hierarchical Bayesian framework, thus enabling the authors to control for unobserved individual differences in the advertising response parameters and to investigate the impact of targeted advertising strategies. The authors concluded that banner advertising have a positive effect on Internet purchasing. Key Learning points: the author has addressed...

...Summary The Advertising Standards Authority of Singapore (ASAS) is an Advisory Council to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). It was set up in 1973 to promote ethical advertising in Singapore and is the self-regulatory body of the advertising industry. Self-regulation means the responsibility of ensuring truthful advertising lies with both advertisers and consumers. This works in the interest of both advertisers and consumers because it ensures that through fair play, there is a balance of trust and responsibility between them. In the situation that an investigation into a misleading ad uncovers an unfair business practice, ASAS may refer the matter to CASE for action to be taken under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act. CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND Advertising has been existed for many decades. It is one means of promotional mix which has its ultimate function to set up channels of information and persuasion to sell goods and services or promote an idea (Belch & Belch, 1998; Aaker, 1991). As an integral part of social and economic systems and one of the rapidly growing industries, advertising determines the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), of a country to a considerable extent during the late 1980s (Belch & Belch, 1998; Daniels, 1995). Advertising is considered to be one of the marketing communication tools. Communication is the process of giving or an exchange of information and the science of transmitting...

...Nike’s Inimitability throughout the Internet Advertising Field With the increased use of the World Wide Web in the last ten years, marketing became a non-excludable factor for every kind of business. Since the consumer remains the main focus of every successful marketing strategy, the internet opened up endless opportunities for efficient advertising because potential customers would expose themselves towards the Internet constantly. Especially, the technology-savvy generation nowadays emphasized the movement of everyday life actions towards the Internet. Companies realized the development and took advantage of the shift by paying more attention towards e-commerce. This automatically indicated the evolution of online marketing throughout the last five years. Since marketers solved the problem about where to market efficiently, another controversial question emerged: “How to reach the consumer most efficiently?” Recent statistics record an already expected, radical growth in this section, which drastically changes the online advertising environment. Although this change opens up various opportunities for advertisers, they still remain skeptic since no concrete formula for the measurement of various types of online advertising exists. However, a high percentage of marketers believe that effective marketing consists out of building up brand awareness which indicates sales. The Internet offers the capability to enforce those two factors. So, companies that are willing to adapt...

...ASSESSING ADVERTISING EFFICIENCY Does the Internet Play a Role? Albena Pergelova, Diego Prior, and Josep Rialp ABSTRACT: This research focuses on a major concern for marketers addressing the claims of inefficiency of spending on advertising. We examine whether the Internet can help increase overall advertising efficiency. Using a sample from the Spanish automobile industry, we combine a nonparametric method—Data Envelopment Analysis—with recent important insights from statistics and econometrics studies, and find that online advertising improves the efficiency levels and that this effect is more pronounced in the long-term temporal framework. During the past few decades, expenditures in manufacturing and general management have been declining while marketing costs have risen (Sheth and Sisodia 1995). From a “budgetary” context perspective, the biggest part of marketing expenditures usually goes to advertising and promotion (Ambler 2000). Some empirical evidence suggests that in the long term, advertising has a positive effect on differentiation and brand equity, while this is not the case for promotion (Boulding, Lee, and Staelin 1994; Jedidi, Mela, and Gupta 1999). Although recent studies have found that promotion has a role in building brand knowledge (e.g., Palazón-Vidal and Delgado-Ballester 2005), the “traditional wisdom” of advertising enhancing brand equity has given rise to very high amounts of advertising budgets. However, researchers claim that advertising is “rife...

...Web Advertising Web advertising, not to mention the Internet itself, finds itself in a stage of relative infancy and therefore provides marketers with novel challenges and situations which need to be dealt with caution . The realm of Web advertising is unchartered terri tory! In terms of South Africa, the country finds itsef somewhat behind technologically. However, this may not prove to be a disadvantage as the uncertain nature of Web advertising may make a policy of 'watching and learning' most viable. What implications will this new technology have for marketing? What is the nature of Web advertising? How can a business use the medium effectively ? Where is all this going ? These questions appear to be most pertinent in the process of understanding interact ive marketing on the Internet. The qualified opinion of John Matthee, a Web site designer employed by Adept Internet (an Internet service provider), was sought in accumulation of a large sum of the following data. This seems appropriate as the novelty of Web advertising at this stage h as led to generral lack of academic data in the practicalities of advertising via this medium. 2) THE INTERNET: AN INTRODUCTION 2.1) Original development of the Internet What was originally created by the US military to provide a secure means of communication in case of nuclear war, which has now become known as the Internet, has metamorphosed into the strategic global communications tool of our era.
