Feel free to add comments and contribute any other ideas and strategies, so that we can all help each other in these tough times. Here are some thoughts in n particular order:</p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Buy more results-oriented and track able opportunities</span></strong></p><ul><li>Internet Pay Per Click Advertising: Typically this is Google adwords but also includes Yahoo and MSN paid advertising. The reason why this is on the top of the list is because month after month our clients view their website results and state that the lowest cost per opportunity comes from the Internet. Plus, you pay per click. If they do not click you do not pay. Simple enough. With the right words, ad, and destination or landing page, this can add up quickly to a success story. Alternatively, if purchased the wrong way, this can end up eating up an incredible amount of budget very quickly. This is a very trackable expense. You set a budget and will know how many people saw your ad, clicked on it, visited your site, and took an action such as a phone call or email. Sometimes, you do have to sift through some deceiving reports on things such as web events and understand that a visit to a credit app does not mean that a credit app was filled out.</li></ul><ul><li>Search Optimization Services: Again, back on the Internet focus, but there is a reason this will be a recurring theme. Most customers are online and if a good automotive search optimization expert can help you get top results online, they usually last a good amount of time. Over the long run, this will help your business even when you need to trim costs and cut expenses. If done right, it becomes the â€œgift that keeps on givingâ€. This is typically an ongoing effort but not one you can ignore since it takes time to build good results and they should be maintained once established. This can be a great return on investment.</li></ul><ul><li>eMail blasts: These can be inexpensive ways to replace your expensive direct mail marketing. For under a nickel a piece, you can send out offers to people in your DMA that match your criteria including household income, demographics, age, sex, etc. Plus the turnaround time is quick and the results are trackable. Take the dollars spent divide by the clicks/visits/calls and there you have your cost per conversion. For the cost of a full or half page newspaper ad, just imagine how many people you could target that perfectly match your desired audience.</li></ul><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Buy less non-trackable feel good opportunities</span></strong></p><ul><li>Advertising on specific      media just because you listen/read/view them: OK, we all have certain      patterns, habits, and tendencies to watch, view, listen to or read certain media. It is just human      nature. However, just because you do it, that does not mean that everyone      is just like you. There are still dealer principals out there that will      buy a certain radio station because that is what they listen to on the way      to work and they feel other people are just like them. It is human nature      (take it from a psych major) to want to assume the world is filled with      people that share your viewpoint. However, if you put some accountability      in place to track the conversions, the truth comes out. It may make you      feel good that you hear your spot every afternoon on the way home, but      you may not be getting the best bang for your buck.</li><li>Buying media just because      you always have: This ties in with the previous idea of acting based on      old habits. I&#8217;ve been buying the Big City Post ever since my Dad taught      me to sell cars. Well, the Big City Post is down to 20,000 readers and      you are paying out the wazoo to buy an ad still. In the words of Bob      Newhart, STOP IT:<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="265" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BYLMTvxOaeE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="265" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BYLMTvxOaeE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></li></ul><ul><li>Buying opportunities      because they are such a good deal. What is a good deal any more? With      the bottom dropping out of the economy it is time to renegotiate all of      your traditional advertising to start and your online as well. You may      think they are a good deal, but if you track your calls or emails from      each source and figure out a conversion ratio, you will know which is the      best and which needs to be cut. Sometimes you end up in a contract but      even those can be renegotiated if you ask. Most media outlets are in the      same situation so they are losing ad revenue and would rather get      something than nothing</li></ul><div class="sociable"><div class="sociable_tagline">

However, your company must have as numerous questions for you as you have for them. Here are a number of things to consider when interviewing your service Provider or internet marketing professional.</p><p>At Purpose Advertising, we converse with our clients to make sure that we are altogether looking for the same purpose and objective. Vastly often, companies can have differing opinions on what they deem as achievement or success of a aspiration. We tend to raise the bar for ourselves and our customers, and have got to admit, this is not for everybody.</p><p>Holding your marketing campaigns to higher principles is something that numerous <a title="NJ Ad Agency" href="http://www.purposeadvertising.com/services/traditional-marketing-and-advertising/">New Jersey Ad Agencies</a> are uncomfortable with. In fact, a lot of them hate change and writhe and wriggle throughout the death throes that characteristically go with the last part of their era. This is quite normal, as change and adaptation is not for every company, and most likely your existing service Provider is struggling to survive even as they show their best country club smile and snigger with reference to their favorite golf courses.</p><p>Yet again, Golf courses, classic vehicles, country clubs, and talks about &ldquo;living the lifestyle&rdquo; do not assist your business sell more because of the deployment of an proficient and valuable NJ business advertising company. Good Agencies and Marketing companies in NJ have competed for days based upon relations, bonds, and friendships more than all else. This house of cards continues to crumble as inquiring minds begin to examine why they are lining the purses of their customary marketing service Provider lacking any return on investment or responsibility.</p><p>Before you set off on the quest finding an ad service Provider for your small organization, consider the following:</p><p>What makes an marketing service Provider a SMART Company?</p><p>Perhaps it may be many years of practice in local media?</p><p>Perhaps it may be relationships with newspapers, radio stations, or TV advertising?</p><p>Is it just the actuality that they have survived long enough to keep on in business riding off your own business naivety?</p><p>Smart Advertising consists of a correct, open, and sincere methodology about marketing and marketing your business, organization, or company. Factual, trackable, results, not just a list of products and several track records that date back to the age of their 1969 Pontiac GTO. What is bringing results at the moment, and how can you prove it? As Wendy&rsquo;s used to say &ldquo;Show me the Beef&rdquo;. Too much Sizzle and not enough steak = weak online marketing results, lower product sales, and more New Jersey Ad agencies revolving like a wheel to try to force a number of stats in front of you to give good reason for some skewed logic that only serves to rationalize more money for their company.</p><p>Ask around when choosing your next NJ Marketing Agency, and here are a few to get you asking the right questions:</p><p> 1. What do we have need of from our ad agency: help in planning, researching, creating, producing, picking media, every one of these, or none of these? If your organization don&#8217;t have a desire, you may not need an service Provider. Do not just go with the flow, consider your true needs for your company. If your service Provider does not inquire about all of your needs, then you may need to consider another marketing manager to succeed with.<br /> 2. Must the ad company handle the media buying buying, should we use a media experience-buying service, or should we do it ourselves? Just since the agency offers a service doesn&#8217;t mean you have to use it, and just since they offer it, it doesn&#8217;t mean they know what they heck they are doing. scores of NJ Ad Agencies use what we will refer to as &ldquo;me too&rdquo; products. They see other agencies offering Search Engine Marketing, and they will say that they also offer this service when in fact they may be outsourcing it to some unnamed company.&nbsp; If they throw terms at you all of a sudden, then chances are they found a number of new &ldquo;vendor&rdquo; that offers a variety of services and they (just like spaghetti) are throwing things at your wall to see what sticks.<br /> 3. Will the company be rewarded solely by the commission it earns on the media it purchases and the added commission it earns on production, or will you pay a flat fee that includes all products? I&#8217;ve never heard of a surgeon charging a commission on the cost of the operating room. But watch out for hourly fees. Agencies often practically bankrupt businesses with these, and not on purpose. Require some pricing of what the compensation package will be. Flat pricing can work, commission-percentages can work, and crossbreed circumstances can work all dependent on your particular requirements and your nj ad agencies familiarity, resources, and fee options. Flexibility is King today in these financial times.<br /> 4. Are we picking an company since we desire a specific kind of advertising campaign or since it&#8217;s the best company? Beware of agencies that specialize in one kind of advertising. Your company isn&#8217;t like the others for which they have created advertising. You&#8217;re different, and your ads must reflect that. a number of agencies have a wall full of ads and will reward their designers for selling &ldquo;off the shelf&rdquo; ads versus true creativity. Agencies are for-profit entities and recycling in this case can just mean slapping your logo on some other clients ad.<br /> 5. How vital is it that we have regular and unlimited access to the president of the service Provider we select? You need to see the individual who&#8217;s involved with your account regularly. If you get to see an important person from one management layer down, and that individual lives and breathes your business, the leader means little to you. On the flip side, often the service Provider leader may have the least amount of knowledge but may have the slickest suit in the room, the fanciest Mercedes, and the tannest tan. However, ask him about the specifics of any of his offerings and watch the merry go round spin. Delegation is fine as long as those who are running the company have a good working data of the intricacies of all services they are selling.<br /> 6. Does the company have proven prowess in direct marketing and the Internet since they so closely tie in with marketing? If the answer is no, go directly to the next agency. Direct advertising and the World Wide Web are integral parts of marketing, growing in importance every day. If the answer is yes, ask for specifics on the spot. Do not accept &ldquo;Let me get back to you&rdquo; or &ldquo;We will get you results, we are the experts&rdquo;. It&#8217;s bull, and we all know what that smells like. Sometimes, it takes a while to smell it but it all comes out in the wash. Just try to pre-qualify your Ad agency before they sell you a bag of goods.<br /> 7. Do we expect an company to handle only our existing advertising, or our new-product launches and grand openings as well? Ideally one service Provider should handle everything. How adept is the agency at introducing new products, and does it have access to first-rate public relations services? The two right answers are &ldquo;great&rdquo; and &ldquo;of course.&rdquo; You may be geniuses and have more creative ideas that Bill Gates has dollar bills, however a plan without action has no effect and puts no dollars in your pockets. Ideas are like mouths. Everyone has one.<br /> 8. Does the location of the ad service Provider matter to us? In these days of e-mail, faxes, cellular phones, and satellite transmission, location is less essential. Nonetheless, private contact is the premiere form of communication. You need to consider how well your company knows your market, area, DMA, district, or area of responsibility. Bottom line, can the agency recognize my customer or prospect.<br /> 9. Even if we retain the final say-so in what advertising runs, who will certainly be in charge of advertising decisions &ndash; someone at our place or theirs? Do we respect that human being? Is their trust in place? Will we over-ride clear cut facts and rely upon our old gut feelings of what has worked for 10 years versus looking at the cold hard truth of call tracking, website monitoring, and coupon or store redemption?<br /> 10. As a final point, do we like both the effort prepared by the service Provider and the service sales it has achieved? Do we like the associates? Do we count on them? Are they more concerned with awards, sales, or their own ego? Deduct 10 points for everything they speak about awards, personal product sales, or name dropping. You can win international marketing awards, but Our Company are far more satisfied of the profits our clients have made. Prizes will not pay the bills. For our agency or your company. If you go above your clients expectations, you expect to retain a client for life. We want to exceed your expectations, bring more to the table, and constantly, always, put further additional energy into our products than any challenger in all of the market.</p><p>Purpose Advertising is an NJ ad service Provider that offers in both traditional media experience and internet based marketing for businesses who need better and more accountable sales from their marketing.</p><p>Our traditional advertising services and New Jersey search engine advertising services have brought distinguished results.</p><p>Purpose Advertising combines both traditional and Web online marketing efforts to design a total in-house experience for your target audience or clientele.

Too much Sizzle and not enough steak = poor marketing results, lower sales, and more agencies spinning like a wheel to try to shove some stats in front of you to justify some skewed logic that only serves to justify more budget for their company.</p><p>Ask a few questions when choosing your next NJ Advertising Agency, and here are a couple to get you started:</p><ol><li><strong>What do we require from our ad agency: help in planning, researching, creating, producing, picking media, all of these, or none of these?</strong> If you don&#8217;t have a need, you may not need an agency. Do not just go with the flow, consider your true needs for your company. If your agency does not inquire about all of your needs, then you may need to consider another marketing agent to work with.</li><li><strong> Should the ad agency handle the media buying, should we use a media-buying service, or should we do it ourselves?</strong> Just because the agency offers a service doesn&#8217;t mean you have to use it, and just because they offer it, it doesn&#8217;t mean they know what they heck they are doing. Many NJ Ad Agencies use what we will refer to as &#8220;me too&#8221; services. They see other agencies offering Search Engine Marketing, and they will say that they also offer this service when in fact they may be outsourcing it to some unnamed company. If they throw terms at you all of a sudden, then chances are they found some new &#8220;vendor&#8221; that offers a variety of services and they (just like spaghetti) are throwing things at your wall to see what sticks.</li><li><strong> Will the agency be compensated solely by the commission it earns on the media it purchases and the added commission it earns on production, or will you pay a flat fee that includes all services? </strong> I&#8217;ve never heard of a surgeon charging a commission on the cost of the operating room. But watch out for hourly fees. Agencies often nearly bankrupt companies with these, and not on purpose. I recommend getting a monthly estimate of what the hourly fees will be. Flat fees can work, commission-percentages can work, and hybrid situations can work all depending on your exact needs and your agencies experience, resources, and payment options. Flexibility is King right now in these economic times.</li><li><strong> Are we picking an agency because we want a specific kind of advertising campaign or because it&#8217;s the best agency?</strong> Beware of agencies that specialize in one kind of advertising. Your company isn&#8217;t like the others for which they have created advertising. You&#8217;re different, and your ads should reflect that. Some agencies have a wall full of ads and will reward their designers for selling &#8220;off the shelf&#8221; ads versus true creativity. Agencies are for-profit entities and recycling in this case can just mean slapping your logo on some other clients ad.</li><li><strong> How important is it that we have regular and unlimited access to the president of the agency we select?</strong> You need to see the person who&#8217;s involved with your account regularly. If you get to see someone from one management layer down, and that person lives and breathes your business, the president means little to you. On the flip side, often the agency president may have the least amount of knowledge but may have the slickest suit in the room, the fanciest Mercedes, and the tannest tan. However, ask him about the specifics of any of his services and watch the merry go round spin. Delegation is fine as long as those who are running the company have a good working knowledge of the intricacies of all services they are selling.</li><li><strong> Does the agency have quantifiable prowess in direct marketing and the Internet since they so closely tie in with marketing?</strong> If the answer is no, go directly to the next agency. Direct marketing and the Internet are integral parts of marketing, growing in importance every day. If the answer is yes, ask for specifics on the spot. Do not accept &#8220;Let me get back to you&#8221; or &#8220;We will get you results, we are the experts&#8221;. It&#8217;s bull, and we all know what that smells like. Sometimes, it takes a while to smell it but it all comes out in the wash. Just try to pre-qualify your Ad agency before they sell you a bag of goods.</li><li><strong> Do we require an agency to handle only our existing advertising, or our new-product launches and grand openings as well?</strong> Ideally one agency should handle everything. How adept is the agency at introducing new products, and does it have access to first-rate public relations services? The two right answers are &#8220;great&#8221; and &#8220;of course.&#8221; You may be geniuses and have more creative ideas that Bill Gates has dollar bills, however a plan without action has no effect and puts no dollars in your pockets. Ideas are like mouths. Everyone has one.</li><li><strong> Does the location of the ad agency matter to us?</strong> In these days of e-mail, faxes, cellular phones, and satellite transmission, location is less important. Nonetheless, personal contact is the best form of communication. You need to consider how well your agency knows your market, area, DMA, district, or area of responsibility. Bottom line, can they understand my customer or prospect.</li><li><strong> Although we have the ultimate say-so in what advertising runs, who will really be in charge of advertising decisions &#8211; someone at our place or theirs?</strong> Do we respect that person? Is their trust in place? Will we over-ride clear cut knowledge and rely upon our old gut feelings of what has worked for 10 years versus looking at the cold hard truth of call tracking, website monitoring, and coupon or store redemption?</li><li><strong> Finally, do we love both the work done by the agency and the results it has achieved?</strong> Do we like the people? Do we trust them? Are they more concerned with awards, sales, or their own ego? Subtract 10 points for everything they say about awards, personal sales, or name dropping. You can win international advertising awards, but we are far more proud of the profits our clients have earned. Awards don&#8217;t pay the bills. For our company or yours. If you exceed your clients expectations, you expect to retain a client for life. We want to exceed your expectations, bring more to the table, and always, always, put more additional effort into our work than any competitor out there.</li></ol><p>Purpose Advertising is an NJ ad agency that specializes in both traditional media and online marketing for companies who desire better and more accountable results from their advertising.</p><p>Our <a title="NJ Traditional Advertising" href="http://www.purposeadvertising.com/services/traditional-marketing-and-advertising/">traditional advertising services</a> and <a title="NJ search engine marketing" href="http://www.purposeadvertising.com/services/search-engine-marketing/">NJ search engine marketing</a> services have brought great results.</p><p>Purpose combines both traditional and Internet marketing efforts to create a total in-house experience for your target audience or clientele.
