Consumer magazine advertising drops

Consumer magazines took an 11.7% hit in advertising in yet another sign of economic weakness.

The doomsayers will point to this as evidence that readers are abandoning old media, presumably heading only to the Internet.

I'd just point to the weak economy, and wonder if Internet ads really deliver customers. I haven't seen persuasive evidence yet.

If you are looking out for gaining increased visibility and brand awareness through a cost effective advertising medium, then you can check out webwindows.co.uk which helps you get national exposure through its newspaper classified ads. I think this is a great opportunity to lose out on.

The content you have provided is pretty interesting and useful and I will surely take note of the point you have made in the blog.

While I was browsing the Internet for ways to boost my website exposure, I read about how effective offline media is for getting additional exposure. Since online media advertising has become so competitive, I thought I will complement the online marketing efforts of my products with offline media advertising like newspaper and magazine advertising. This can be the best way to get a wider coverage for a website and draw additional traffic. I think it is a great marketing strategy to use both online and offline advertising to get more customers.

I thought this information might be useful for anyone looking for solutions to get me-ore traffic to their website.
