Advertising Marketing Wisdom

Posts Tagged ‘Internet’

Ever since the Internet came of age in the mid 1990s, advertising deals have become extremely common. As we all know, companies advertise on the Internet through the usage of banners and through search engines such as Yahoo and Google in an effort to drive users to their websites. This article will analyze the key provisions usually found in Internet Advertising Agreements and will hopefully provide drafters of these agreements with guidance before they commence the difficult drafting process. For purposes of this article, the company purchasing the advertising shall be referred to as “purchaser” and the seller of the advertising shall be referred to as “advertiser.”
1. Definitions
The first paragraph of an Internet advertising agreement should set forth the definitions of the key terms that the agreement will refer to frequently. Since the agreement will likely use the term “click-through”, this term should be defined, and is usually described as a “user presence on the advertising purchaser’s website that originated through the advertiser’s promotional advertisements or promotions as part of this Agreement.”
2. Term
This paragraph should recite that the agreement will commence upon the effective date and shall last for a specified amount of time.
3. Positioning
This paragraph should clarify how the advertising banners will be positioned on the advertiser’s website. This provision may simply refer to a positioning schedule attached as an exhibit. On the other hand, if the parties decided not to agree on a specific positioning schedule, the agreement might simply recite that the advertiser has sole discretion to control the positioning so long as it uses its reasonable best efforts to position the banners in such a way as to drive traffic to the purchaser’s website. The drafter for the advertiser may also recite that the advertiser shall not be liable for any claims relating to usage statistics.
4. Click-throughs
Before a drafter of an advertising agreement can go to work, she must know whether her client will be paying per banner ad or per click-through. One “click-through” means that a user has clicked on the banner or the link to the purchaser’s website. If the agreement is for a certain amount of click-throughs per month, this provision of the agreement must clearly describe the commitments promised by the advertiser. Let’s say that the advertiser is promising 1,000 click-throughs per month. The agreement could thus read “Advertiser shall deliver no less than 1,000 click-throughs per month, and purchaser shall pay to advertiser the monthly amounts according to the payment schedule set forth in exhibit A.”
This “click-through” provision may also want to address what happens if the advertiser cannot make good on these click-through commitments. For instance, it may recite that “if advertiser misses any monthly target, advertiser shall “make good” the difference within two months. If advertiser does not make good the click-through difference within two months (60 days), purchaser may suspend that portion of its monthly payments that represent the percentage of click-throughs missed by advertiser until advertiser delivers such make goods.”
5. Exclusivity
If the deal points include an exclusivity provision, the agreement must reflect this intention. The agreement should be drafted to recite something to the effect of “no competitor of purchaser shall be permitted to place or purchase from advertiser, banner or promotional advertising as defined in Exhibit B, and advertiser agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent third parties that are entitled to place ads on advertiser’s site from placing any banner or promotional ads of purchaser’s competitors.”
These are the most important provisions of an Internet Advertising Agreement. Other provisions covering Cancellation and Termination Limitation of Advertiser’s Liability, Indemnification, and Advertiser’s Right to Reject Advertising may also be included. In all, it is critical for the drafter of the agreement to know the deal points backwards and forwards and to carefully draft the agreement accordingly.

All we know banner advertising has dominated the entire World from many years. Earlier everyone was crazy about banner advertising and they invested lot of money ridiculously on banner advertising. But once a time came when banner advertising lost it’s position due to arrival of dot com crash. Now many advertisers think that online banner advertising is the thing of past and does not have place in today’s advertising marketing. But truth is that banner advertising has still place in today’s marketing world.

But don’t think, I am saying luster of banner advertising has came back but now they are getting cheaper day by day and if you know how to utilize them properly I am sure online banner advertising would be a great advertising tool for you and your online business.

Banner advertising has large range of promotional campaigns those vary from cell phone to online survey companies. In fact almost every company that is selling their services through some form of Internet marketing has a banner advertising system set up.

Important thing about online banner advertising is that banner advertising is almost an art form and banner advertising campaigns should be monitored and launched by professionals advertisers. I have seen many companies that have sworn off banner advertising because they had spent thousand of dollars and much time but didn’t get any chance to succeed.

But that does not mean online banner advertising is completely dead and does not provide any benefit in terms of marketing and advertising. If you run a right banner advertising campaign then it can yield mutually beneficial results for the promoter and the product owner. You should follow some rules to run a successful banner campaign in order to make it useful and beneficial.

Very first things you should remember in banner advertising are niche and relevancy. Niche means your website theme and relevancy means banners placed on other company’s website should relevant to your company niche. If you publish banners relevant to your companies niche them I am sure you would get maximum benefit. For this you could join advertising networks that relevant to your website niche and they will ensure that your banners only appear on relevant websites.

Another aspect of banner advertising that you should focus in creation of banners. I have seen many banners those look very dull and are not able to grab the attention of visitors. Many campaigns fail due to unappealing banners because they are not able to express why they are on a web page and what they want to say? So if you are going for banner advertising then make you banners more appealing, good looking and should have some attractive text to grab the attention of visitors. There are also two types of banners that you can employ to promote your product, static and dynamic.

Static banners stay the same for all viewers while dynamic ones display a rotation of images. If you make an effort to create tasteful and effective banners that are placed on optimal venues you will see results. If you can’t do these things themselves then you could join any banner advertising network, which could provide banners according to your needs and niche and they also publish your banners on sites relevant to your niche that provide you good return in short span of time.
