Digital and Online Advertising

Online Advertising

Marketing is the life blood of any business. Without a steady stream of prospects, leads, and customers, the business will wither and die. It is painfully obvious that the cost of print advertising is rising, due to the cost of production (oil prices), add to it a downturn in economic spending, and less people are spending money on advertising.

Many companies, seeing the decline in print advertising and the slipping margins due to production costs, have done the most illogical thing - increase their advertising rates! The local papers have done this, magazines have done this, and printing companies have followed suite.

The major factor in the rapid decline in print media is the fact that more people are online. Period. Less people reading print, less leads generated.
