What makes  Internet Marketing different than all other types of Advertising?

There are new marketing rules being used today by consumers everywhere, and they are being applied to your industry. Its all about New Media.

If you listen to the radio, watch TV or read a magazine, you can’t help noticing that the Internet is constantly being promoted whether it is in the commercials and the print ads or by the  radio stations or magazines themselves. Everyone is trying to drive traffic to their own websites. Many people consider that to be  effective Internet Marketing. It isn’t!


Another type of Internet Marketing that is being promoted is Search Engine Optimization.

Companies that offer to drive traffic to your website with effective keyword applications or Pay Per Click programs consider themselves to be Internet Marketing experts, and while qualified traffic is necessary for success on the Internet, it is not enough to be truly effective Internet marketing. In fact, both these functions would be more aptly named “traffic generation” methods. Getting qualified traffic to your website is not the end result you should be looking for with your Internet marketing program; it is just the beginning.


What makes Effective Internet Marketing different than all other types of advertising?

The fact that it is not based upon “Interruption marketing”. When we read a magazine, watch a TV program or listen to the radio we are constantly being bombarded by ads and commercials that are trying to interrupt our thoughts. All these ads are designed to make us think about something we hadn’t even considered before being interrupted. But in today’s market, with the Internet, I-pods, MP3 players, pay per view TV shows and advanced cell phones that can access everything we need on the Internet, interruption marketing is failing to achieve quality results. People are just tuning it out and turning it off. As long as you or your marketing consultants think that simply getting traffic to your website is effective Internet marketing, your business will not be able to grow or possibly even survive.


Millenium Consulting of Calgary has as broader view of what Internet Marketing really means to your Calgary based business.

It is built upon the concept that building strong relationships with  local qualified visitors who are looking online to find your business is going to increase your success. In order to build those relationships you need to have a website that is not designed the same as a billboard or Yellow Pages ad. To better understand our approach we invite you to read the material in our website and apply some of the ideas here to your own websites.

While we do have the skills required to put a Calgary based business website on the first page of Google, and we discuss some of them here, we recommend you read some of the material on our website about how to promote your business in a way that will inspire trust and loyalty. Many of your potential clients are not simply looking for sales, coupons or seasonal discounts. They are looking for answers to questions that your may have considered obvious or unimportant in the past .  They may not be ready to buy your product or service when they first land on your site, but by giving them what they are looking for today, quality free information, you will have a better chance earn them as customers in the future.
