You may have noticed that each website you visit, you find at least two ad banners that advertise products. But how many times do you click on them to buy products? One thing I have discovered is that not many internet users bother themselves to click on them nowadays. Do you know why? They are so commonly found on every website that people have become adamant to them. They don't bother to click on them. They just ignore them. Maybe that's one reason why you need to think outside the box and try other ways of marketing your products.
Text adverts are another way of advertising your products online. When you use them, you will not only kill the monotony that ad banners have created, but you may also get more clicks on them than on banners. Besides, it's very easy to change them in any way you want to satisfy your marketing needs.
How can you use them? It's very simple. Just be creative enough to come up with various ways of composing your texts. For you to compose effective text adverts, you must learn how to play with specific words to achieve the desired reaction. As you write your texts, it's important to use power words that can appeal to your targeted readers. Write to feel the needs of your readers. I repeat, write to feel the needs of your readers so that they can click through the links to the pages on which your products are displayed.
Usage of power words helps you to attract your potential customers. Power words are those words that can bring out the desired reactions from your readers. There are words that meet the human basic needs which include physiological needs, safety, social needs, self esteem and self actualization. Effective text adverts always target at least one of those five human motivators. Your challenge is to know enough power words and to use them creatively in your text adverts. Your challenge again is to know what motivates your readers and take advantage of it.
How else can you best benefit from text adverts? For you to get a good response, you need to put the following points into consideration.
1. Frame your texts to make them look nice, unique, attractive and identifiable. This helps to draw one's attention to them.
2. Avoid making them noisy or overcrowded as this is likely to send away your potential readers.
3. Spice them up with colors. You can vary the colors of your letters and frames in such a way that you compel your readers to read on and on until they click on the links to the location where you want them to be directed.
4. Never use the same text adverts in the same way for over a long time. Change them every after some time as you watch the response. Probably by so doing, you may end up attracting even the most stubborn and rigid people. Sometimes when such people see a different ad after a few weeks, they may respond to it just because it appeals to them more than the previous ones.
5. Be creative! Keep changing your advert content and wording. Change the background color of your frame, frame borders and font colors. Change the size of your text. You can also rotate your advert to create some effect. Change your writing style and vary it with different adverts.
6. In your text, provide links to the web pages or websites where your products are displayed and where more information is given. It's advisable to use anchors or special links to advance to a specific location. Without links, you will have wasted your time.
7. Use them in various ways. Apart from using them on your website or blog, you may use them to run in e-zines as classified adverts. You may use them in your autoresponders. You may also use them in your email signatures.
I would like to wind up by reminding you that online business requires a lot of innovation. The more innovative you are, the more you are likely to have a breakthrough into the marketing business. Ad banners are so commonly used that the number of internet users attracted to them nowadays is dropping gradually. Try text adverts if you want to be effective with your online advertising campaigns. I wish you the best.
