Tools for research
As advertisers develop ads, modern technology greatly enhances their ability to conduct market research and testing. For example, online consumer data can be collected in large amounts, and feedback and opinions can be analyzed instantly. In addition, the use of virtual focus groups can enable people from all over the world to view and comment on advertisements, and opinion leaders can be engaged via online surveys that expose viewers to a proposed advertisement while soliciting feedback from them.
There has been a dramatic improvement in the development of tools for internet advertisements over the past 20 years. Today's ads feature video, animation, and even viewer interaction, as opposed to the static, logo-driven banners of the 1990s.
Tools for development
Advertisers can use modern technology to create more effective and impressive ads for television, print, radio, and the Web. The use of video editing software can help create ads with a "wow factor"-something that catches the attention of viewers and keeps them watching. Using computer animation, advertisers can now create lifelike settings, characters, and actions that were never possible 40 years ago. As a result of special effects, ads can fully leverage the marketing appeal of popular movies and television shows, leaving only the obvious product appeal as a differentiation. In addition, advertisers can use powerful tools to create visual messages that appeal to specific consumer segments effectively.
Social Networks
Social networks are proving to be a valuable resource for small businesses and bootstrap marketers. Besides engaging consumers in research and testing, social networks provide advertisers with a powerful and free distribution system. By distributing interesting, memorable ads via social networks, you can trigger a chain reaction that spreads the advertising message to millions of viewers at no cost to the advertiser.
Internet Advertising
Traditional advertising outlets are losing effectiveness due to the Internet, while marketers are discovering new ways to reach consumers.
Internet banner ads are more effective at targeting specific groups of consumers than mass media. Ads similar to those seen on television can be placed on Internet videos, such as news clips. Players can experience an interactive experience while being exposed to advertising messages by playing free web-based games.
