Too much reach and not enough frequency.
Effective web advertising ensures that a good
percentage of the target audience see the
advert a suitable number
of times.
Selling the features rather than the
benefits of what is being offered.
Too much copy. Over cluttering adverts will
dilute the main message.
Not emphasizing the unique selling points.
Using an image which does not clearly show
explain the product / service.
Giving up on advertising before it has had a
chance to work. Avoid the quest for instant
gratification.
Changing your web advertising copy too frequently.
Choosing the wrong media. What media works
for one business may not work for others.
The business owner does not always know
best. Too much product knowledge does not
allow the product to be viewed afresh.
Too much priority on selective targeting.
High coverage and frequency yield the best
results for your web advertising campaign.
