ELDERLY TECHNIQUES FOR SEM
The question is when there was no SEM, how people marketing their businesses? The SEM was introduced in 2001. Before that people mostly advertise their products, services and businesses through elderly marketing strategies such as billboards, print media, television ads etc.
THE NEED OF SEM
The elderly promotional ways were quiet fine but advertisers were having some real issues in finding:
- Real Targeted Audience. No one knows who watched their ads or if the one who took their print material is a genuine consumer of the product. There was no control over geographic neither you have control to the audience you would interest to target.
- Statistics: The print media and television ads scope was limited enough for the investors to the statistics of their promotions. Since everyone knows businesses invest a lot in their promotions so they must need to know how many actual visitors they had? Is there someone who is interested in using their products? No click through metrics etc.
- Analytics: The promotions runs their way but no one knows if someone in the area or territory of said business actually viewed the product. If you are in US and someone is watching your ad in Europe, that’s doesn’t makes any sense.
- Reviews: There was no tool for consumer to rate or review a business. If there is a product that is not feasible for human use, it can’t be easily reported or spread through the nation.
Nowadays everyone is connected with the internet and people mostly use Google search to become familiar about products, its reviews, ratings etc before buying it. Though the businesses strategies are more defined now but on the other hand consumers life becomes uncomplicated. At the same time, businesses can now effectively target huge audience and pitch more efficiently.
