Comparing Different Types Of Advertising
In some ways, communication has caused our planet to shrink. A news event anywhere in the world today can be communicated, almost instantly, to anywhere else in the world. Newspapers, Radio, Television and the Internet have all contributed to this. Like any technology that brings benefits, unfortunately, there are also disadvantages. Our world is one of communications overload. Over the course of an average day we are exposed to news, commercials and advertising through all of the above forms of media. The result of this is that we have become conditioned to blocking out all but those items that we are interested in.
This has presented marketers with a challenge. How do they ensure that their target audience reacts to their messages? How do they get by the spam-like filters most of us have developed to protect ourselves from information overload? This is where News-style Advertising comes in. This style has been developed in an effort to slip past our advertising filters. This is accomplished by presenting the marketers message in a manner more consistent with news. News-style advertising doesn’t appear to be advertising. It has no pictures or graphics. It contains no slogans or logos. There is nothing associated with it that would give the reader any reason to suspect that it is being sponsored by any company or individual. It contains a headline, copy and a method for the reader to get additional information, if they so choose.
There is a reason why this type of advertising is simple and gets by our mental spam filters. Assume we scan a newspaper or magazine and see something with a Headline that appeals to an issue we are dealing with at that time. Because it is news-like in appearance it is not threatening. Our need drives us to read the article, generally short in nature. The fact that it is short is also appealing since it does not represent a great deal of investment of time on our part. The response mechanism allows us to get more information if what we have read in the article makes sense to us and represents a possible solution to our issue. It is because it is non-threatening in nature that it is able to generate the response numbers up to 500% better than other techniques.
