In my previous article I wrote about Unique Search terms and how they can help your advert, in this article I am going to write about another powerful feature that many Business to Business Directories offer:

Banners

When you go on to a Business Directory and start searching for companies, you may come across an animated Banner above the list of companies when you type in a product or service you are looking for. These are called banners; companies with adverts can purchase a banner and a set of unique terms that attach to the banner. It is essentially an animated flash file; the designers will take images and text from your own website and incorporate it into the Banner.

Once you have purchased one you will be asked to pick some terms (the amount depends on what you have agreed with the directory), these terms will belong to you for the duration of your contract and no one else will be able to purchase them.

Say you pick Mezzanine Flooring…Whenever some one goes to the directory and types ‘Mezzanine Flooring’ you banner will flash up at the top of the page above all of the companies that offer that product, this encourages people to click on your listing instead of others.

Whilst it does not have the power of the ‘Search Terms’ to get you world wide coverage, it is still a very effective method of drawing extra traffic into your advert and will increase the potential leads you receive.

What Is Viral Marketing?

It’s hard not to notice that modern telecommunications have seriously changed virtually every aspect of our life. Just ten years ago, we’d never heard of Google, a word that has since entered the dictionary. Five years ago, YouTube wasn’t a household name. Just a year ago, nobody had even heard of Twitter. Now they’re all huge parts of our society. After all, you’re reading this article on your computer right now. Not surprisingly, advertising has sought to keep up with changing trends, to be relevant to a society raised on absolute communication.

Viral marketing is a broad term used to describe an advertising concept in which advertisers take advantage of people’s social networks to increase brand awareness and product sales. While that probably sounds vague and arcane, it’s actually quite simple. Viral marketing uses word of mouth to spread its message.

The trick is to somehow inspire people to talk about your marketing gimmick in a way that raises product awareness and increases sales. The name “viral marketing” refers to the way the advertising spreads rapidly and organically, like a virus.

To do this, companies produce all sorts of alternative forms of advertising, from internet games to video clips, software, and even text messages. Marketers identify people or demographics most likely to respond to the advertising and spread it, and then tailor the campaign to these people. The basic premise is that once these people accept the advertising, they will begin to spread it to other people, which will spread to other people, and so on. Viral marketing has gotten so advanced that there are algorithms used to describe the rate with which it spreads, and the maximum solvency the advertising will achieve.

Some of the most famous examples of viral marketing include:
