How to Market to an Attentive Audience

A drastic movement of change is taking place in the world of marketing. Interruptions in people's entertainment is no longer the best way for marketers to appeal to their audience. The old methods of advertising are very cost ineffective in today's world and magazine ads or tv commercials are starting to go away. Consumers throughout the modern world have developed mind blockades for these advertisements. They are able to effectively avoid advertisements once they know that they are being sold.

A more efficient process is now in place even though it takes longer to accomplish. Getting permission to advertise to someone is now the best way for you to do the marketing. Many different methods can be used to accomplish this. Offering a discount, valuable coupon, or free item in return for a survey are a few examples. By dealing with you in any of these ways the customer will in return spend valuable time with you. Developing a long lasting relationship will then be much easier for you to accomplish.

The permission to use a customer’s valuable time is extremely valuable to a business. This is actually best done with the use of the internet. If you wanted to physically offer a discount or coupon, there would be many costs involved. Physical copies of the offer, envelopes, and stamps would all be needed. You can market this way much cheaper through the use of the internet since it can help to eliminate all of these costs.

The statistics say that marketing in this way results in people paying more attention to the product being sold. They also will take a longer period of time to pay attention. This marketing is no different than any other kind in terms of its transparency. But the main aspect that differentiates it is that the consumer is ok with it since they are getting something. They know that even though they may not want to buy what you are selling, they will still be getting something they want in return for their time.
