Why Advertise?
A lot of businesses advertise, but I often wonder if some of them know why they are doing it. Take the time to look around this week, as you do your grocery shopping, run the kids to hockey practice, and whatever else you do. Who is advertising in your area, and how? If you really pay attention, you’ll see some advertising done so badly it may as well not even be there at all. If you had to look to find it, or force yourself to read it, it’s probably ineffective.Here are the top 3 reasons to advertise • Awareness • Differentiation • ImageAwareness is probably the most important reason to advertise.

Engagement, Or Lack Thereof

My name tag looked professionally printed and my name was even in the Yahoo! approved font.The main topic of this cooperative effort by Y! and OMD was the purchase cycle and how it has been affected by the internet.
