\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTry to remember the last advertisement you saw. If you\u2019re reading this on a computer, you might see one in your browser at this very moment. Online advertising is incredibly pervasive. Google is an advertising company masquerading as a search engine company. Alphabet, Google\u2019s parent company, collects\u00a0<\/span>80 percent<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of its revenue from advertising. Google ads generated $147 billion in revenue last year. But! Traditional advertising is still incredibly important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital advertising in the US only became\u00a0<\/span>more prominent<\/span><\/a>, in terms of spend, than traditional advertising in 2019. There\u2019s still over $100 billion being spent on traditional channels each year. Traditional advertising includes billboard advertising, brochures, TV commercials, grocery store advertising<\/a>, radio, and many more media. It\u2019s a diverse group. You also have to think about the focus of these ads, whether traditional or digital.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are national ads, there are local ads, and there are hyper-local ads. For example, restaurants often purchase advertisements locally on Yelp, targeting users within a particular group of zip codes near that restaurant. On a platform like LinkedIn, businesses might purchase advertisements nationally but focus on certain user professions. Then there are physical advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n

A company might run a billboard campaign across the entire country without changing the content for specific localities. A local business might rent one or two billboards in their area. Which one of these campaigns will be more effective? Well, it depends on what metrics you\u2019re using to measure success. It\u2019s entirely possible that a small, focused, local advertising campaign could be more effective in terms of dollars spent versus customers acquired than a national campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benefits of Local Marketing<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

To make one thing clear: you do not need a massive budget to advertise your business. That, more than any other reason, is why local advertising shines. So whether you\u2019re purchasing a couple of local radio commercials, a\u00a0<\/span>Cartvertising<\/span><\/a>\u00a0run, or a local newspaper advertisement, the price should be within your advertising budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on the fence about whether you want to even spend any money on marketing at all, here are\u00a0<\/span>some statistics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that should make you more comfortable:<\/span><\/p>\n
