Consumers’ preferred advertising channels

In advertising, customers and advertisers often have a very different set of goals. While advertisers try to captivate even a small fraction of the consumers’ attention in a highly competitive landscape, consumers look forward to experiencing different forms of mass communication with the least amount of disturbance. So, marketers need to align their advertising channel preferences with consumers to attain ultimate outcomes. Following is the list of marketing channels that you can use to leverage your content marketing goals:

  1. Word-of-mouth
    To be “Preferred Choice” in your buyers’ eyes you should explore word-of-mouth channels that help to authentically intensify your expertise. Customers rely heavily on other customers’ recommendations of the brands that they use to make purchases – and this is also known as word-of-mouth marketing. It includes customers vouching for your brand’s authenticity plus credibility and stimulates others’ buying behavior. 
  2. Social media marketing
    Over 3.6 billion people worldwide are using social media right now so there is a high chance that all potential and existing customers are available on social media. Nowadays, a large number of consumers use social media to escape everyday life, keep themselves entertained, stay connected with their friends and interact with the businesses that they are fond of. Advertising on social networking sites helps brands get in touch with their customers in a personalized way while giving them demographic details of those customers to maximize reach.
  3. Traditional media
    In today’s technology-driven era, using traditional media to generate a high return on investments will be beneficial in the long run. Publishing print ads in newspapers and broadcasting ad films on TV channels can attract attention as well as prove to be beneficial on a large scale.

To boost reach and increase profits, you can use a combination of digital as well as traditional advertising channels that’ll help grow your business. To create an authentic and credible brand image, brands need consistent engagement with their target customers. Choose your advertising channels wisely from a large number of options to build strong relationships and reliability.
