Out With The Old, In With The New Business Marketing

Advertising: In the old model you buy print ads, radio ads and if you have the budget television ads. You try to be smart and not burn through your ad budget too fast. Then you hope thousands or millions read, listen or watch and respond to your ads. When people call or come in. Hopefully somebody asks how the customer heard about your business. A hit and miss marketing approach. This was normal before the Internet.

New Web Video Model: Advertising budgets are managed closely. Businesses now know exactly which ad generates sales or actions. Everything is trackable. No more hit and miss marketing. Marketing budgets stretch further. Ad results are measured in hours not weeks or months. Small to medium sized businesses compete equally wth conglomerates. OK, almost equally.

Does Videomail Save Time?

On the other hand, if you keep rehearsing to get your message just right. Either get a cheap teleprompter or stick with text messages.
