internet vs. print media?

[uskitty]

Hello.
We just got our new site through real estate web design (real-estate-designers.com) and now we are struggling with which way to market the site.
Which way have you guys seen better ROI, internet or newspaper?
Thank you

In my experience, direct mail (email) has always produced results - a clean database is needed, and otherwise inernet and specialty magazines.

You can always target register your site, key words etc, but on an email database I have here of 3000 clean email addresses, whilst considered spam (and there are ways around that) I tend to get a decent response on advertising.

hope that helps

I personally would try to do a little of both, If you can get into a local newspaper at decent rates than do it. With the internet you are going to reach a larger target audience.

Good topic, Now in UK Online Marketing cost over Offline Marketing. Online marketing moving very fast, and internet users also increasing over 80% every year.

But all depend on your market.If you target over 50% better to do both, if you target first time buyers 90% online. if you need more information please send me PM .

I've never really seen any results from advertising websites offline, and I can easily see why this has been the case.

I'm sat in front of my PC for the majority of the day. The only time I read newspapers or magazines are when I'm travelling, relaxing in front of the TV, having a meal or a quiet pint on my own, etc.

Quite often I have come across an interesting link mentioned somewhere while I am reading and I've though, "I'll check that out next time I'm online".

Nine times out of ten, however, I've completely forgotten about it by the time I get back on the PC and there are more pressing matters that need my attention.

Marketing site

Hi,

The best way to market your site may be advertising a much as you can on free forum boards and directories . Also paid advertising to Google will do and try to maximize customers satisfaction as possible as positive word of mouth will definitely help

Thanks

Advertise your site

Here in the deep dark jungle (South Africa) we use several methods, internet, newspapers, magazines and flyers. We have found with flyers that we may only get a response to it several months later. People will look at it and then file it or stick it on their fridges and then use it when they are actually looking for our services.

I would recommend doing both. You can get started with internet marketing without spending a large amount of money, but you can target better with offline marketing.
