No One Reads
When was the last time you went to a silent movie? Probably never. It makes no sense to replicate that kind of experience on a website. If you go to most sites, they are essentially static imagery and a lot of copy, which creates a boring, silent ad that forces people to read.
Canadians spend five times as much of their free time watching television than they do reading. If they watch far more than they read, does it make sense to throw all of your money into print advertising or to use the amazing medium of the Internet to create long, dull blocks of print?
The Need
The answer is, of course, no.
-
Print is the worst performing medium for promoting real estate. But you must be careful not to make the same mistakes on a website that you would in print.
-
Canadians have the highest rate of internet usage. What TV and Internet have in common is a rich visual experience, especially with the emergence of inexpensive high-definition video. It’s that visual experience which needs to be present in online advertising.
