Consumer data is the information you gather from your customers or anyone visiting your website. This crucial information can be taken from a CRM system, site analytics, past purchases customers have made, etc.

Using media curation or DSP (demand-side platform), the right targeted messages can be delivered to your ideal customers.

When customer data is used for luxury programmatic advertising, it helps focus campaigns toward the people you want to do business with most. Using these tools and tailored approach helps improve campaign performance and ultimately, drive more sales and business for your event venue.

Print isn’t dead! Quite the contrary; it’s more important than ever today in a world where digital ads are becoming pushier and more invasive, turning customers off.

Of course, a well-placed ad that is user-friendly can be very effective! But often, digital ads are poorly planned and executed.

It’s likely that upon seeing one of these improperly planned digital ads, a person will click the “x” and feel annoyed by the experience. Ultimately, a poor user experience can negatively impact the brand’s overall reputation and customer sentiment.

With print advertising, on the other hand, customers can’t click away. And since magazines are meant to be enjoyed during leisure time, print ads are also more relaxed and focused, having a more meaningful impact.

Focused

It’s no secret that magazine advertising has the highest return on investment out of any other type of advertising. Here’s a few reasons why:

Better targeting: Different magazines are targeted to specific groups of people. Focusing your message and your audience delivers the best results when it comes to advertising.

Greater lifespan & circulation: Magazines stick around longer than other types of media. They might be found in a doctor’s office waiting room, or a living room coffee table. Ultimately, this increases magazine ad exposure.

Brand Building: Some magazines are seen as reputable within their field of interest and can increase the prestige factor associated with your brand.

Also referred to as “bus shelter advertising” or “transit shelter ads”, this describes advertisements placed on bus stations and train stations targeting commuters.

Shelter ads are an excellent way to advertise an event space for a number of reasons, including:

  • Reach a significant number of people
  • Target specific geographic areas
  • Allows for beautiful, attention-grabbing ads

While they’re in the same category of media, bus shelter ads are smaller and billboards are larger and more impressive due to their size. With shelter ads you have less space to work with, so being careful with images and concise with the copy is especially important. Delivering an ad that strikes the perfect balance of beauty and function can be more difficult than with a larger billboard, where there is plenty of space for messaging and imagery.

Both media can be done digitally at less cost. A digital billboard is a billboard that displays digital images that rotate by computer every few seconds.
