Tips for setting up a good advertising campaign

Advertising is essential. Good advertising makes your company stand out and makes it easier for you to be found by future clients and clients. But how do you set up a good advertising campaign yourself? In this blog we give interesting tips!

Advertise in the newspaper

Advertising in the newspaper is an option that companies still use a lot. And there's a reason for that! A large group of Dutch people still read the newspaper every day. But think carefully in which newspaper you want to advertise. Advertising in a national newspaper is expensive and only generates profit if the return on your advertisement is sufficient. This only really makes sense if your company has national coverage and if the services or products appeal to a broad target group. When making this choice, think about the target group, which newspaper do your potential customers and clients read?

Be newsworthy

Playing the same trick as the competition is of course the easiest. But be creative! By creating a campaign that is newsworthy and innovative, you can get a boost from free publicity or even go viral. You can also use native advertising. You pay influencers such as bloggers or a famous person to bring your campaign to the attention of the right target group. But also in this case you will have to tell a story

Have a folder or flyer printed

A folder is very efficient when you want to put a new service or product on the map. This also works very well for promotions, discounts and holidays. Have the folder printed in colour, this is the most noticeable. Also take a good look at where you want it printed, the price often differs at every copy shop.

Make use of the internet

Almost every company now has a website. It pays to advertise on the internet. This can be done very easily via Google Ads, for example. You determine the target group yourself and that also gives you an overview of the costs.

Social media

You see more and more companies using a company page on social media platforms. Think of: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. It is therefore also very efficient to advertise here. Create a company page on Facebook, send Twitter messages, explore the possibilities of Instagram, and post fun videos about your company on YouTube.

Get advice

If you don't know how to best set up an advertising campaign for your company, get advice from an expert. Of course this costs some money, but a failed advertising campaign that misses its target ultimately costs a lot more. Having a good marketing strategy developed produces excellent results in most cases.
