In Institutional advertising, company spent a lot of money developing
and rolling out advertisement via Mass Media like TV broadcast, Radio,
Magazine etc. Typically, institutional ads will not cause an increase
in sales at it first launch, but rather will develop a gradual and
steady increase in sales over a long period of time.
An example of institutional ads is the typical Coca-Cola
advertisement that you see on TV. Institutional ads are intended to
develop the brand name, the image, the reputation, the quality and
promote a desire for the customer need of the products from the
viewer’s mind. Printed institutional ads tend to be very colorful
and are usually placed in magazines by national manufacturers.
Most institutional ads communicate a message entirely centered on the
company, the product. An example is as follow: “We are a big
Multi-National company established in 1813. We have a strong and
desirable product that you the consumer will need. The product has went
through million of dollars of Research and Development and it is the
product for you, the consumer. Please also associate the product with
our company name…..”
The result is often not immediate and it may take generation to
generation to imprint the message deep into the masses mind. Take the
case of Coca-Cola for example. Coca-Cola the Company has over decades
that span across many generations of human races on institutional
advertisements to get the message across that Cola is Coke or
Coca-Cola. The process takes painfully long time and spent lots of
money. This is something that individual or some business owners cannot
afford.
In addition, if you pay close attention, you will notice that
Institutional Advertising does not take into consideration of the
opinion of prospective consumer. The advertisement boost about the
company and the product but did not interact personally with the
prospective consumer. The Ads did not motivate the prospective consumer
to take immediate action as the strategy for Institutional Advertising
is more for the long run.
In recent years, there is an increase of Direct Sales Advertising.
An example is the Power Raider advertisement. It is a very short
advertisement but bring forth a compulsive reaction from the viewers to
take action to buy the products. This is what it does….. The ads
start by showing a healthy and fit looking guy with a half naked upper
half with well defined abdomen working out on a machine, the Power
Raider. With an urgency tone, the host goes through a series of the
benefits that the viewer can expect to receive if they get the
equipment. Then it goes on to promote urgency within the viewer by
claiming that there are only a limited copies left. To enhance the
sales, the host sells an irresistible offer by lower the price of the
product by not two time, not three time but maybe 4 or 5 times. On top
of that, it motivated the viewer to take action by giving out bonuses
for the first 50 buyers that call in to buy. Finally, the host calls
for sales by provide enough information on how the viewers can make the
purchase. To remove all fear from the viewers to take action, the host
offer a Money back guarantee if they are not satisfy with the products
within a certain numbers of days of purchase.
This is what Direct Sales Advertising is all about. It goes for the
direct kill to get the customer to pull out his credit card immediately
and make the purchase.
This form of advertising is appropriate for Internet Marketing or selling via the Internet as a media.
Why?
The reason is obvious. Just imagine…
The prospect is surfing the web for information and happen to bump
into your sales page. He is holding a packet of potatoes chip on one
hand and a can of Coke on the other hand. He is impatient and will skip
or move on to another page if your sales copy does not catches his
attention to read on. The art of a good direct Sales advertisement does
not just stop here. It motivate the prospect further until he takes out
his credit card from his wallet and key into those visa or master card
number on the keyboard and click on the submit button to buy.
Some even goes another step further by side selling and up selling
the first time customer by making more money through a single
transaction. This can be done by promoting a one-time offer to the
customer with an irresistible offer that will compel him to take action
again before he put back the credit card to his wallet.
I attend the World Internet Summit held in Singapore just last
month. Almost all the Internet Marketing Gurus out there on the stage
tells the audiences to be focus in order to make a profit from Internet
Marketing. Even the famous Marketing guru’s Jay Abraham also
teaches us to be focus to achieve any success in Internet marketing.
However, I prefer to think that we need to focus on the right things to achieve success on Internet Marketing.
What are the right things in Internet marketing business?
Personally, I believe this are the important focus areas for Internet marketing:
1. Business System.
2. Business Strategies.
3. Business Marketing.
Out of this three focus areas, I strongly believe Business Marketing is the most important aspect of your business.
As Jay Abraham will tell you, Marketing is the key to your success
in business, whether it is a online business or an offline business.
Give a good product, when market well, will sky rocket the sales.
However, given a bad product, when market well; it will also help in
getting profits.
In order to tap on to the marketing brain of Jay Abraham, you will need
to spend a lot of moneys. This is a quote from Jay Abraham himself
“Normally, when people want to learn what I know, I charge $5,000
an hour to talk to them privately. Or they pay me $25,000 to attend my
five-day long seminars.” As his popularity increase over time,
the cost of engaging him for consultation will be much much more.
However, all is not doom. You can now easily get access to Jay
Abraham marketing material at a low cost of just USD 39.95. I would
suggest you check it out as one little marketing idea from Jay Abraham
could possibly turn the fortune of your businesses in your favour.

We should never under-estimate the power Marketing and its strong
influence on the dollars and cents to your business cash flow.
Make no mistake about it. With a good marketing technique and strategy, you will definitely bring sells to your business.
One of the key aspects in business marketing for Internet marketing is
sales copy writing. It is essential to have they know how for any
business man or aspire to be business man to master this skill.
Author of best selling book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Robert
Kiyosaki defined marketing as selling through a system. He mentioned
the importance of learning how to sell as a prerequisite for every
business man. One interesting pointers from him is that his “Rich
Dad, Poor Dad” are the best selling book, not the best written
book.
Other than highlighting the importance of learning how to sell in his
series of book, Robert also mentioned that importance of building a
business system with the right strategies. Essentially, his business
success pointers are the exact focus areas that I mentioned above, but
in different presentation and layout.
Robert Kiyosaki has also designed an Ultimate Pack that give you an
head start in business and finance. You can access to Robert
Kiyosaki’s Ultimate Pack at http://tinyurl.com/yc2gbe.
As for sales copy writing, there is no better guru to teach you than Jo
Han Mok. Jo Han become a millionaire at a young age of 26 just after
three years into Internet marketing business. He is famous for his
sales copy writing skill and have consulted many individuals and
company in helping them in converting their web pages to captivating
sales page that increase the income of his clients.
Have you ever heard of a guru out there that treated writing a sales
copy like fighting a war in battlefield? Jo Han is one of those sales
copy writer that do just that. He is the man who incorporate the
ancient chinese art of War to writing sales copy. If you do not know,
the Chinese has been at wars within the country and with the barbarians
from Mongolia for century in their long history. Many intelligent
advisors have craft out some of the most practical and innovating
strategies and techniques of winning the war for their Emperor. One of
the famous advisor is Sun Tzu. This is one of the quotes translated to
English by him “Warfare is the way of deception. Therefore, if
able, appear unable. If active, appear non-action. If near, appear far.
If far, appear near. Attack where they are not prepared, go out to
where they do not expect.”
