#2. Horizontal Exposure for:
Visitors who "don't know" where they're going
Visitor #2: The Learning Visitor
The visitor doesn't know the lay-of-the-land (the difference between Hawaii-the-island and Hawaii-the-state, etc.), is not sure what there is to do or see on the islands, etc.
This visitor "surfs" online for a reason compelling enough to go to your offer.
We provide: Horizontal Exposure, so you are there to catch the visitor who is surfing across the site to learn the destination.
How?
Via our:
- Text Boxes
- Graphical Banners
See tabs below.
Horizontal Exposure (click any tab)
Text Boxes
Unlimited Text Box impressions are included in packages at no additional charge.
(you don't pay by the # of impressions; and you don't pay-by-click).
Your Text Box provides horizontal exposure across the entire site for maximum view.
We use Google-like Text Boxes, since visitors are already familiar with this message medium.
You can place your compelling "teaser" message of 15-20 words, like a Tweet, inside the Text Box to drive visitors to your website.
Graphical Banners
Our full-size Graphical Banners headline your company at the top-of-the-page and in-margin for maximum "Top-of-Mind" exposure. Your message appears across the entire website for total horizontal run-of-site exposure and to capture the attention of visitors wherever they may be, in the commercial or non-commercial sections of the site.
Why a Marquee Banner?
A study performed by Diameter (a web-statistical company) showed that above-the-page ads, like the banner shown above, "boosted key brand metrics by an average of 55%" (per the Interactive Advertising Bureau).
Which is more valuable: the Click-Through or the Impression?
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) commissioned MBinteractive to conduct the IAB Online Advertising Effectiveness Study to answer these questions and found (iab.net):
- Banner exposure (the impression) itself was responsible for 96% of brand enhancement, while a click-through only contributed 4%. Nearly all of the impact was generated without a 'click-through' to the advertiser's site, proving the significance of the banner impression alone.
- Online advertising is more likely to be noticed than television advertising. The engaged state, which the Web encourages, helps provide higher attention to online advertising.
- Online advertising dramatically increases advertisement awareness after only one exposure, positively impacting brand perceptions. Consumer acceptance of online advertising is comparable to that of traditional media.
- Online Advertising has the potential to increase sales. On average, Consumer Loyalty increased 4% across the twelve brands tested after only one exposure.
