<h2>Advertising campaigns to increase sales for Valentine’s Day</h2>
<p><strong>Valentine&#8217;s Day</strong> – a day where couples can lavish each other with affection and gifts and show each other how the truly feel. Now, many people will believe that these sentiments should be shown at all times of year, not just on Valentine’s Day. Well we say; why not capitalise on the fact that people want to buy presents for one another at this time of year?</p>
<p>Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days in the ear for the exchanging of flowers, chocolates, teddy bears and other gifts and these sales of these products climb every year. Basing your advertising campaign around this day can help you see an increase in sales for products relevant to the day. Digital advertising in particular offers some of the best opportunities for Valentine’s Day themed advertising campaigns – this is ideal for chocolate companies and flower delivery services.</p>
<p>Traditionally, Valentine’s Day advertising has mainly been focused at men purchasing gifts for women, however, as times change so do trends in buying which is why many advertising campaigns are beginning to be aimed at the female demographic.</p>
<p>A Valentine’s Day advertising campaign is all about knowing which groups of customers to target. Studies have shown that, surprisingly, people that are most likely to receive the most Valentine gifts are teachers, children and mothers. Gourmet Ads can give you the ideal platform to aim your products at specific target audiences.</p>
<p>Everyone loves a Valentine’s Day deal, so whether your company sells flower deliveries, chocolates, or bottles of champagne, Gourmet Ads can help you place your advert so that it will reach your desired consumer.</p>
<h3>Valentine&#8217;s Day deals range from chocolates and flowers to gourmet dining options</h3>
<p>If you own a restaurant or hotel, deals might include discount prices for anyone attending your establishment on Valentine’s Day – free bottles of wine or desserts or perhaps something similar placed in a hotel room will sound appealing to anyone who wants to do something special for their loved one on Valentine’s Day.</p>
<p>This time of year doesn’t just have to revolve around going out for food. Couples love sentiment, and if someone wants to treat their loved one to something truly special on Valentine’s Day, they may consider an even or activity. Going to the theatre, sipping cocktails in a classy bar, or even kayaking or abseiling might make for the person present for the right people. Activities placed alongside various dining options could be the perfect valentine’s package for someone.</p>
<p>For all the lovers that want to cook a romantic meal for their partner, advertisers can use Gourmet Ads to promote “Meal for Two” deals at a discounted price. Gourmet Ads’ large network of sites means that packages such as this and other discount deals can reach your target customers and could potentially increase sales of specific products.</p>
<p>So use Gourmet Ads to offer great deals all in the name of Valentine’s Day and you will generate interest which ultimately means more sales.</p>

<h2>Are you running online display ads to create your brand ?</h2>
<p>Advertising via online display ads has long been established as an extremely effective way to <strong>increase brand awareness</strong>, draw in new customers and to educate consumers about certain products. As Gourmet Ads has been in the industry for many years and have been using online display ads for just as long, we know a thing or two about the importance of online display ads and how they can affect advertising campaigns.</p>
<p>Many people have questioned the use of online display ads, but the effectiveness has long been demonstrated by Gourmet Ads. Online Display ads can come in various forms, but most commonly can appear as web banners on various webpages. Gourmet Ads supports various banner formats and this type of advertising has been a proven way of generating click throughs to affiliated sites.</p>
<p>Click throughs and conversions are obviously a major part of advertising campaigns and are a great way for directing consumers to different sites whilst making money. However, beyond this, Gourmet Ads online display ads are crucial for the branding of products. Branding is vital in terms of customers indentifying goods and to be able to tell one company from the next.</p>
<p>Online display ads with Gourmet Ads can therefore help set your apart from the rest. If branding is all about standing out and establishing yourself as a unique company, let Gourmet Ads help you create your identity.</p>
<h3>Evidence asserting that online display ads are very effective in creating a brand identity</h3>
<p>When it comes to branding, we will often find that ‘the more exposure the better’ is usually the case. Volvo recently ran a study testing the impact of multi-screen advertising and the effect is had on consumers. Out of those who were only exposed to the Volvo advert on television, 50% could remember seeing it. Those that were exposed to the advert on TV, PC, tablet and smartphone however could recall seeing the ad at a rate of 74%.</p>
<p>The results from this case study are clear – the more a product or brand is exposed, the more effective the branding and the more likely consumers are to remember your product. Connecting with the right customer at the right time, emotionally engaging them and then measuring all the analytics is something that is best achieved through the use of online display ads.</p>
<p>Gourmet Ads supports a very wide range of advertising campaigns and provides platforms for display ads and pre roll video ads too. By offering these to you, Gourmet ads can help create a more effective advertising campaign with online display ads for your brand which ultimately will not only increase brand awareness and attract new customers, it will also educate your potential consumers about your range of products as well.</p>

<h2>Restaurant Advertising is vital to get customers in</h2>
<p>Perfecting your menu, hiring the right staff and opening your brand new restaurant is often not enough to get customers walking through our doors. If you really want to increase customers and get everyone excited about coming to you for food, it is vital to consider <strong>restaurant advertising</strong>.</p>
<p>Marketing is crucial for restaurants to reach their target audiences and create a buzz. Consumers are not interested in advertising unless it is personal or relevant to them; therefore traditional forms of advertising have become almost obsolete, especially when it comes to dining options – after all, who is going to come to your restaurant just because you tell them to? Restaurant advertising is all about creating excitement; maybe introduce discount vouchers and get customers interested in your establishment.</p>
<p>Advertising on Gourmet Ads can help you reach your targeted audience through the <a href="http://www.gourmetads.com/targeting/geo-targeting" title="Geo Targeting">geo targeting</a> advert campaigns. Geo targeting basically means that specific adverts are tagged. This means they appear for specific people in certain geographical locations. By doing this, your adverts are not being displayed to people who will totally disregard them instead they are getting shown to consumers that may be interested in your restaurant!</p>
<p>Loyalty of customers is what makes you money, and if you get a good ‘fan’ base of customers that keep coming back for more, revenues will inevitably increase. Beyond just clicks and conversions, Gourmet Ads online display banner ads are perfect for establishing your company as a brand and increasing your loyal customer base.</p>
<p>Restaurant advertising is all about connecting with the right customer at the right time and engaging them emotionally in what you are promoting. By using Gourmet Ads display ads for restaurant advertising, we can then use web analytics to track consumers and see if the advertising had a positive impact on promoting your brand.</p>
<h3>Consider Pre Roll Videos for restaurant advertising</h3>
<p>Gourmet Ads supports a wide range of advertising campaigns and provides platforms for display ads and pre roll video ads to give you as many options as you like. Display advertising can come in many different forms, and web banners are often the most common form of advertising a product, brand or company. If you think a web banner might be the most effective way of attracting customers, this could be the perfect option for you.</p>
<p>Pre roll advertising on the other hand is ideal for advertisers (although 49.7% of consumers who were asked said they would not sit through a pre roll if they had a choice!). With Youtube and some other video sites offering ‘skippable’ pre roll ads, spending advertising money on those seems rather pointless, but a good pre roll before a relevant video clip that a potential customer watches may well grab their attention.</p>
<p>So, as you can see, restaurant advertising is all about <em>relevance</em> and <em>relating</em> to your customer – if they feel like a message is more personal to them, you are more likely to get further with them, and once you have their attention you can then develop this into a relationship with a potential consumer.</p>

<h2>Target consumers who love their kitchen technology</h2>
<p>The popularity of <strong>kitchen technology</strong> is on the rise, along with so many culinary gadgets and pieces that have been specifically designed to make your time in the kitchen so much easier. With all this new gadgetry now available, it is the perfect time to start advertising kitchen technology and a great time to start targeting consumers who love their gadgets, but most of all, love their time in the kitchen to be as stress-free as possible.</p>
<p>There are so many gadgets on the market at the moment which are appealing to consumers all over the world, including kitchen technology with computerized screens, or specially programmed refrigerators which can tell the owner when he is running low on certain items.</p>
<p>When it comes to finding kitchen technology, most consumers do their searches online – probably because it is such a specialist product area – and because of this, web sales are the most used sales avenue to advertise these types of products.</p>
<p>By using Gourmet Ads to help you advertise your kitchen technology, advertisers can connect with dedicated food lovers and home chefs. Those who love spending time in the kitchen are often the most likely to be drawn in by any new technological advances in the kitchen, and any gadgets that can make their life easier are sure to be a hit!</p>
<h3>Create brand awareness for gadgets falling under  kitchen technology category with Gourmet Ads</h3>
<p>If you are trying to get a product noticed by kitchen gadget fans, then look no further than Gourmet Ads. We offer plenty of options when it comes to advertising solutions for kitchen technology and gadget campaigns, and also for web food retailers that feature these products. As kitchen technology is so up to date, it is a great image for any company to advertise these types of products as it creates an appearance of being modern and always offering state-of-the-art products.</p>
<p>From digital confectionery thermometers to fingerprint reading coffee making machines, the kitchen technology world has it all, and advertising them and their uses are likely to appeal to customers who like the idea of their lives becoming so much more streamlined when they own your gadget.</p>
<p>Although larger companies are the ones that tend to draw in customers because of their big brand name, who said this has to be the general rule of thumb? Gourmet Ads are ideal for creating brand awareness for smaller companies that want to establish themselves as market competitors and get their products noticed. Educating your customers with online ads about your kitchen technology will not only increase sales, it will also generate click-throughs to your website.</p>
<p>Using advertising to establish your brand should ultimately win you more loyal customers, and the more contemporary kitchen technology you offer, the more fashionable your brand will appear.</p>

<h2>Advertising Trends for 2012 from Gourmet Ads</h2>
<p>For the past 4 years, and as the year comes to a close, I’ve looked forward to the future trying to predict what the <strong>Advertising Trends</strong> for the year ahead will be. Looking back I think for the most part I’ve predicted the advertising trends rather well. That said I’ll be the first to say that we’ve got some predictions wrong, but for the most part I think I’ve been on the money. My advertising trend predictions are simply derived from what we as a company are seeing in-market.</p>
<h3>So here are our Advertising Trends for 2012</h3>
<p><strong>1. Real Time Bidding Budgets to Increase</strong><br />
Real Time Bidding Budgets was something I predicted last year and again it’s my number 1 advertising trend prediction for 2012. Why? Well late in 2011, Gourmet Ads launched our <a title="Private Ad Exchange" href="http://www.gourmetads.com/solutions/private-ad-exchange">private ad exchange</a> called the Gourmet Ads Marketplace. Since then we’ve had an amazing response to real time bidding and if anything we’ve started to see many more advertisers start buying media like this. As the year came to a close, we spoke to all our major media buying partners and not one of them said that budgets were going backwards. Nearly all of them said they will have many more advertising clients in 2012.</p>
<p><strong>2. Media Buying with Data</strong><br />
Just like Real Time Bidding, we also mentioned Data in last year’s advertising trends. In 2011 the buzz term by Q2 was DMP (data management platform), now if you believe everything you read in the digital press, DMPs will be no longer around in 2012. Then there is the debate of 1st Party Data vs 3rd Party Data and I’m not going anywhere near that.</p>
<p>Our prediction is that digital media buying using some sort of data will grow significantly in 2012. I think it’s the sole motivation for advertisers contemplating a move to real time bidding platforms, i.e. the fact they can pair the media buy up with data and then buy the impressions they actually want at scale. Once advertisers have developed a clear use of their own 1st Party Data sets and can begin to only buy the impressions they want we will see continued growth in data.</p>
<p><strong>3. Mobile Advertising to Grow</strong><br />
During Q3 in 2011 we started seeing questions on both the advertiser and publisher sides regarding mobile advertising. We had advertisers asking about inventory and publishers asking about demand ( which is always great). When publishers in the food space are asking our publisher team about mobile advertising because their building an App or dedicated mobile site, then 2012 will be all about mobile. We saw during 2012 a number of supermarkets launch iPhone and Android apps which have been highly successful with consumers. See <a href="http://www.woolworths.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Website/Woolworths/About+Us/Our-Services/iPhoneApp" target="_blank">Woolworths in Australia which have a great mobile app</a>. As a company we too have invested in mobile. Our development team is currently working on the RecipeBridge Mobile site which is scheduled to be launched in January 2012. Mobile content aside, I wonder if we’ll see better quality mobile advertising from advertisers in 2012. It does seem that text ads are still the main type of creative used on mobile devices.</p>
<p><strong>4. <a title="Branded Recipes" href="http://www.gourmetads.com/blog/publishing-branded-recipes" target="_blank">Branded Recipes</a></strong><br />
During 2011 we saw a major advertising trend from food manufactures and some supermarkets seeking to integrate their branded <a href="http://www.recipebridge.com" title="Recipes" target="_blank">recipes</a> on our network publisher sites. I would say nearly every RFP we received requested some sort of recipe integration as part of the media plan. We believe this is only the beginning for Branded Recipes. Observing this trend, Gourmet Ads developed our own platform for branded recipes on RecipeBridge.com, where we add all the recipes of a brand into the RecipeBridge site. Then when people search for a recipe such as “<a title="fondant recipe" href="http://www.recipebridge.com/r/fondant-recipes" target="_blank">fondant recipe</a>” then brands with fondant recipes will be displayed alongside other recipe sites, where consumers can then click through to the brands website for the ingredients, cooking method and presentations.<br />
Early in 2012, Gourmet Ads will be announcing the launch of our Brand Solutions on RecipeBridge to help brands get more exposure for their branded recipes to household grocery buyer.</p>
<p><strong>5. <a title="Video Advertising" href="http://www.gourmetads.com/solutions/video-advertising" target="_blank">Video Advertising</a></strong><br />
Video Advertising for the digital advertising industry in 2011 was huge. If you don’t think it was you’ve been on another planet. I recall sitting @ Digiday New York in November and watching the &#8220;State of the Industry on Digital Video&#8221; report and being amazed by nearly every statistic being presented. This is why I&#8217;m adding it as an Advertising Trend in 2012.</p>
<p>Why the huge recent growth in Video Advertising? There are a number of answers why. It’s so very similar to buying television and advertisers (and their advertising agencies) understand how to buy TV media. Engagement rates are consistently solid (notice I didn’t mention click through rates). Creative is rather standard now. Most video advertisers are using a 15 or 30 second pre roll video together with a 300&#215;250 Companion Ad using either VAST or VPAID formats. We’ve also seen in 2011 more non linear advertising solutions come to market.</p>
<p>For Gourmet Ads, Video Advertising was the fastest growing section of our business in 2011. We’ve seen huge demand from advertisers and we don’t think this will subside anytime soon. We believe that video based revenue will increase significantly for the company over the next year or so. That said, there are still lots of challenges for video. Lack of quality video inventory is one. We’ve worked hard to build a large collection of <a title="Cooking Videos" href="http://www.tastydays.com/videos" target="_blank">Cooking Videos</a> on Tastydays. The second is the technical requirements needed to setup a publisher to accept video pre roll ads. We have made some great progress with our own video hosting platform for publishers, but more education is required.</p>
<p><strong>6. The <a title="300×600 Ad Unit" href="http://www.gourmetads.com/solutions/display-advertising/300x600" target="_blank">300&#215;600 Ad Size</a></strong><br />
There is something to say for big things and the 300&#215;600 is one the largest display ad sizes available with many calling it the “half page ad unit” Not only from a creative aspect is there lots of room to get the message across, but in our testing we’ve seen engagement rates from 3 to 10 times better than regular display sizes.<br />
Over the past 6 months we’ve slowly started to see more advertisers ask for the 300&#215;600 size and given the great performance of the unit, we believe that in 2012 will see more advertisers using this size.</p>
<p><strong>7. Vertical Ad Networks will Continue to Grow</strong><br />
As I had predicted last year, there was plenty of consolidation across the digital advertising ecosystem. We saw video companies acquire other video advertising companies, we saw ad networks acquire other ad networks and major web portals continue buying investment that make sense them. What we didn’t see was any acquisitions of Vertical Ad Networks in 2012.<br />
Many in the Digital Press predicted that Vertical Ad Networks will die a slow death, which really cracks me up. Gourmet Ads which just focus on Food Advertising are very much alive and kicking. We’ve seen amazing growth again this year and are looking forward to continued growth in 2012. I’m often talking to my peers at other vertical ad networks and all report solid growth and revenues. Gourmet Ads in 2011 strengthened our inventory by investing in RecipeBridge and I know other networks have been quietly acquiring more web properties and inventory which they can call their own.<br />
So yes, I’m predicting that Vertical Networks will continue to grow in 2012.</p>
<p><strong>7. CPG Brands to Increase Budgets</strong></p>
<p>Again an advertising trend we mentioned last year and the year before. We saw a number of new advertisers in the CPG space in 2011 and we’re already seen new brands at major CPGs advertising for the first time. That said we would like all CPGs to start using online. In 2011 we started to see CPGs run longer campaigns, compare to previous years where they were just concentrating on Q4, then going dark for the rest of the year.</p>
<p>We have two predictions as an advertising trend in 2012, is that we’re going to see smaller to mid sized companies move to online in 2012 where they can easily compete with large FMCG / CPG companies, possibly more so on a localized / geo targeted basis.</p>
<p><strong>8. Contextual Advertising for Food Advertisers </strong></p>
<p>Another advertising trend we’ve seen from food advertisers in 2011 is the request to advertise on pages where recipe content is closely related or is contextually relevant. We’re predicting this will continue into 2012 as some advertisers want to only reach the exact target each and every time.</p>
<p>An example of contextual advertising for foods would be say a seafood company running a campaign for salmon and they only wanted to advertise on pages where salmon was being mentioned. Pages might be <a title="Smoked Salmon Recipes" href="http://www.recipebridge.com/r/smoked-salmon-recipes" target="_blank">smoked salmon recipes</a> or <a title="Grilled Salmon Recipes" href="http://www.recipebridge.com/r/grilled-salmon-recipes" target="_blank">grilled salmon recipes</a>. Now this is relatively easy for a single site to provide this type of targeting and Gourmet Ads has a few sites where this is possible. We’re working on contextually being able to target against videos with pre roll video advertising. The challenge has always been one around how much inventory is there.</p>
<p>Rolling in 2012, we predict that companies will use Contextual Advertising for part of their media plan, it might be in two ways. 1. They will allocate 10-20% of the media plan’s budget to contextual to ensure the plan remains relevant, then use <a href="http://www.gourmetads.com/targeting/retargeting" title="Retargeting">retargeting</a> and then general run of food. 2. They will book a 6 or 12 month media plan to “own” the term. I.e. they will own “salmon recipes” in very much like a sponsorship type investment, changing the ad creative when required.</p>

<h2>Engaging content is crucial to driving email subscribers</h2>
<p>By leading consumers to subscribe to email marketing, and<strong> driving email subscribers</strong>, you are basically keeping them up to date with your products or any new developments in your company which might interest them. When people show an interest in your company or the products that your company offers, it makes sense to give them the option to stay ‘in the know’ about products that might interest them. By driving email subscribers, you can target certain consumers and give them what they want.</p>
<p>It’s important to know what people are looking for, and so each email that is sent out to your captivated audience should not be totally irrelevant to their needs. By sending them emails about products that relate to them, they will feel reassured that you are aiming the email at them, even if it is sent out to a whole list of people with similar interests.</p>
<p>Driving email subscribers means knowing what people want from an email subscription. You need to create your email content based on your readers. A great way of doing this is matching up recently bought products to certain email addresses. If there are any product announcements either about that specific product or a particular brand your customer likes, they’ll be glad of the initiative to contact them about it.</p>
<p>Creating engaging email content is crucial for driving email subscribers. If an email is personalized, fun and friendly, subscribers are more likely to take the time to read it. By starting the email with the user’s name, this is personalizing the email and aiming it at one person. Even if the same email had been sent to a group of people, by using their name, the consumer will feel like it is more relevant to them.</p>
<p>Driving email subscribers is about being fun and friendly and is so important if you want to keep your consumer’s attention after they have begun to view the email. By using a conversational tone, readers are far more likely to continue reading – especially if the email can make them smile!</p>
<h3>Timing is equally important when driving email subscribers</h3>
<p>Product incentives such as discounts and special offers can often work if you are trying to promote certain products. Be careful with this method though. If driving email subscribers is what you are aiming for, don’t make them think that they have signed up to an email subscription that is just full of products that are no use to them. Driving email subscribers to interact with other consumers and have some input into your products can be done through the use of social media platforms. By interacting with your customers, they will feel like they are getting a more personal service.</p>
<p>Timing your emails is important too and can create expectancy from your subscribers. If your emails really are that engaging, you should hopefully be able to keep your readers on tenterhooks waiting for the next installment of their email subscription. Don’t overload your customers with one email per hour – it will look like it has just been churned out. Taking all such measures can create a dedicated audience in driving email subscribers for your products or company.</p>

<h2>Reach Chai Enthusiasts with Chai Advertising</h2>
<p>Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the popularity of tea, especially <strong>chai</strong> tea. No longer can a consumer walk into a coffee shop without being confronted by a vast menu of a variety of teas, and it is with this growth in popularity in mind that advertisers can now make the most of advertising opportunities.</p>
<p>This traditionally Indian tea is full of antioxidants and nothing sells better than a product that tastes great but also has fantastic health benefits as well. In supermarkets all over the world, chai brands are rapidly taking over a lot of shelf space and this is predominantly to do with the role chai can play in benefitting people’s health. This spicy tea product contains a third of the amount of caffeine found in a cup of coffee, which is great for those who are trying to cut down on their caffeine consumption.</p>
<h3>Tea brewing machines and Chai spices are ideal for Chai Advertising Campaigns</h3>
<p>Chai has also generated sales that are linked to the product. It is these peripherals that have made the chai industry an even bigger deal than it was before – the sales of tea making machines, chai brewers and its necessary herbs and spices have also seen an increase in sales. People not only want to be able to buy the perfect cup of chai from a coffee shop – they want to be able to make it at home too! There are many different types of chai available which is why there are also different <a href="http://www.recipebridge.com" title="Recipes" target="_blank">recipes</a> being developed that include chai’s ingredients. It is the combination of chai products that means that advertisers can make the most of advertising for chai campaigns.</p>
<p>Gourmet Ads can help smaller companies stand out and generate brand awareness. Gourmet Ads can help you achieve your advertising campaign for any of custom chai blends or the chai related peripherals, and there are plenty of angles you can take with your advertising and various solutions that you could use.</p>
<p>Creating brand awareness for chai and chai-related products can be done using Gourmet Ads and by generating awareness of your brand and your range of products (whether they are herbs, spices or chai making machines) you can reach out to the people that love chai.</p>
<p>Chai lovers everywhere can be targeted using Gourmet Ads and advertising on our network of sites &#8211; this will in turn not only increase brand awareness, but also generate sales too.</p>

<h2>Is Radio Advertising better than Gourmet Ads ? Well it sure is !</h2>
<p>There are so many differences between <strong>radio advertising vs Gourmet Ads</strong> advertising that you may be wondering which is better and which can further benefit your business and increase sales. Well, read on and discover which type of advertising might suit you.</p>
<p>Radio advertising is considered a traditional advertising technique along with TV and print advertising. It is this ‘traditional’ approach that tends to make radio advertising slightly lag behind other media in various studies that have been conducted over the years.</p>
<p>When it comes to radio advertising vs. Gourmet Ads, Gourmet Ads definitely comes out on top. Not only is radio advertising a slightly old fashioned way to advertise products, it cannot reach as many potential consumers, and it is worse value for money for advertisers.</p>
<p>Online advertising with Gourmet Ads can be beneficial to your sales in the sense that there are many methods for increasing consumer purchases and raising consumer awareness of your products by exposing your products to a highly relevant audience.</p>
<p>Gourmet Ads has a much higher price performance ratio for advertisers than if you were to use radio to reach out to your customers. Gourmet Ads’ network of sites ensure that you as an advertiser can make the most out of several platforms online to show off your brand or a particular product. CPM advertising for example is a great way of generating traffic to your website and increasing brand exposure.</p>
<p>So are you still thinking about radio advertising vs. Gourmet Ads? Perhaps you haven’t considered the larger number of consumers you could reach out to by using Gourmet Ads. Radio advertising might have been a great medium of advertising once, long ago when the internet wasn’t so easily accessible to consumers, but practically everyone has the internet nowadays! Radio can only reach people within a specific perimeter usually, whereas Gourmet Ads online adverts can target people all over the globe – that’s why it’s called the <em>World</em> Wide Web after all.</p>
<h3>Radio Advertising can&#8217;t provide trackable results like Gourmet Ads</h3>
<p>Gourmet Ads are the professionals, and we are on your side. We work hard to track and keep up to date with web analytics so that you can make the most out of advertising without paying extortionate prices. Through Gourmet Ads, you can expose your brand and new products by converting exposure into real sales.</p>
<p>Digital marketing and media analysis is what eMarketer does best, and their recent research has specifically showed the big increase in investment from companies that want to use online advertising instead of traditional advertising. The big increase is of course due to the fact that online ads work!</p>
<p>There is no point in comparing these two advertising media because they are so different. Gourmet Ads really can generate more traffic and therefore more sales for your company, thus making the most out of your advertising budget. So don’t consider radio advertising vs Gourmet Ads any longer, as Gourmet Ads display and video advertising can create a far more effective campaign for the advertisers.</p>

<h2>Changing consumer habits directly impact advertising</h2>
<p>Consumer habits are constantly changing, and as such <strong>changing consumer habits</strong> can have great impact on advertising. Being aware of the consumers’ habits means that you can provide them with products that they feel they need. It is all about understanding your potential customer and addressing what it is they want.</p>
<p>Changing consumer habits is constant and can affect market dynamics in a massive way, which means that advertising campaigns need to keep up. In the most obvious sense, advertising flip flops, sunglasses and barbeque foods isn’t a good idea if it is approaching Christmas time!</p>
<p>There has been a recent shift in changing consumer habits in buying, especially when it comes to food. More than ever, people are focusing on what is good for them and their families. Healthier options are available and the consumers know it – so much so that health foods that are organic or haven’t been genetically modified are at the forefront of the consumers mind when they buy food.</p>
<p>Consumers will have seen advertisements for organic produce that has told them how beneficial it can be for their diet. Advertising has such a great impact on consumers that they really do want to make a change and start eating healthily. By advertising your organic produce, you are adapting your advertising campaigns to reach out to the masses that want to lead healthy lives and subtly acknowledging changing consumer habits. CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) / FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) can cater to the consumers ever changing habits around the holiday times, which means a high stock turnover for you.</p>
<h3>Advertising campaigns can tap into consumer psyche by keeping track of changing consumer habits</h3>
<p>A really important thing to remember when creating an advertising campaign is that you need to tap into the consumer psyche to be more effective with selling your products. Creating an advertising campaign where you have clearly thought about your target demographic is much easier than trying to aim an advert at everyone and means that you have clearly taken into consideration the changing consumer habits.</p>
<p>By understanding that one group of people that you want to reach out to, you can create advertisements that appeal to them, thus generating sales. If a consumer feels like they have been singled out and a product sounds just right for them, they are obviously more likely to buy it.</p>
<p>A healthy diet is definitely important, and Gourmet Ads is dedicated to supporting the right healthy eating choices for consumers. The Gourmet Ads network focuses, on the constant changing food habits of consumers and we are confident in the fact that the right advertising campaigns for your product will mean that they can reach consumers.</p>
<p>The phrase “changing consumer habits” also suggests that habits <em>can</em> be changed, and by advertising your products well, you could well see a high increase in sales just through the medium of adverts.</p>

<h2>Advertising Juices enhances Brands and Educates Consumers</h2>
<p>Every day the juice industry is flooded with more and more products and new brands to tantalize the taste buds of their consumers. Due to this rush of new brands and products, it is understandable that some brands and new products get lost amongst the crowd. Advertising juices can get your customers to buy your products which will then make them more aware of your brand.</p>
<p>There is such a wide variety of juices on the market today that it is difficult to know where to begin. Juices nowadays are not just limited to traditional citrus and non-citrus fruits, but there is now an array of new juices such as superfoods, raw, and green vegetables too. Superfoods are the types of foods packed with the most nutritional value. All foods have some nutrients, but superfoods in particular are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are extremely beneficial for the body (such as apples, bananas, and berries). <strong>Advertising juices</strong> with such variety and using their health benefits as a unique selling point will soon see a rise in sales for your products.</p>
<p>Advertising juices including all varieties, especially superfoods, usually translates into direct sales for juice companies. Think of the people you are advertising to – so many of them are keen to live a healthy lifestyle, and if superfoods and their high nutritional value seem appealing to them, they will buy them to reap the benefits.</p>
<p>Advertising juices are key in increasing awareness and educating the customer about the good and bad products that are available to them. The <em>Naked Juice</em> advertising campaign has been particularly successful in making consumers aware of the content in their juices.</p>
<p>The <em>Naked Juice</em>’s method of advertising juices was to run digital banner ads across various sites to grab people’s attention. These banners had people being totally honest about the product. It is a clever advertising campaign like this that increases a brand’s credibility and if real people are seen to be positively reviewing a product, other consumers are likely to believe in the brand and buy the product.</p>
<h3>Advertising juices on Gourmet Ads can create strong brand identity</h3>
<p>The Gourmet Ads network can help in advertising juices and create strong brand identities for everyone. Even those slightly less established companies that need to get their brand out in the open, and most importantly, noticed, can make the most of advertising their products with Gourmet Ads.</p>
<p>Gourmet Ads method of geotargeting means that your juice advertising campaigns in different locations can yield more results for your company and create really strong brand recognition for your products.</p>
<p>By advertising juices using Gourmet Ads, you can quickly establish your brand identity, no matter how new your company might be, and this advertising will then lead to an increase in sales for your products.</p>
