A Brief History of TV Ads

Everything Started With Radio

Radio was originally developed as a way for companies to sell radio. But when agencies found that many households listened to their radio waves a considerable amount of time each day, they began to explore this medium as a way to get their message across to the crowd. If one needs to select one event that began at the time of the radio station, it would probably be the radio station that was sent by WEAF station in New York City on 28 August 1922. This was a ten-minute advertisement for residential suburbs. During Christmas this year, some of the major New York merchandise products took preliminary figures and were showing ads for their stores.

By the end of the 20th century, the broadcasting ads had been superb in a magnificent way. It was now dominated by agencies that took control of plans by purchasing available flight times and selling it to their customers. They also handled creative elements of advertisements and applications, and even even created all the series that were designed to sell one product or another. These efforts prevented the TV ads from starting a few decades.

Real Time to Realize until 1948 as it took so much time for the United States to recover from depression and world war. At that time, a number of television servers gained critical mass that was necessary to look at the medium that could reach the crowd. Since television was a totally new phenomenon – ie. To offer both audio and video, the ad agency moved gently into this forum, as they were not sure which methods would work best to present their customers products on the TV. In other words, should it be treated as broadcast ads but with cast images or must a completely new approach to effectively capture the TV shows?

After research and many surveys of advertising centers decided that the most effective way to reach a strong message to consumers was by creating shows that contained only one product or line of products from one company. From this concept, typical TV shows from 1950 featured such titles as Kraft Television Theater, Colgate Comedy Hour and Coke Time. As per the radio, these TV shows were produced by agencies for their customers rather than studios like ordinary work.

This exercise worked very well for customers for a while. But since the TV gained more popularity and more were watching TV, the television network increased the cost of doing business (ie more eyeballs = more dollars to cover them all) and this pressure at the expense of producing Television production (as well as rising costs for creating new content) forced a significant change in the relationship of all parties: agencies, customers / sponsors and television stations. A solution had to be found if this very powerful advertising product was continuing to be cost effective for sponsors.

Enter the time of the advertisement magazine competition

NBC Managing Director Sylvester L. "Pat" Weaver came up with a solution that would work and would also be very good for the networks. He introduced the "magazine the term" television advertising. In this arrangement, sponsors would buy a break (usually 1-2 minutes) in an exhibition rather than being a sponsor for a whole show. This idea would allow various sponsors – up to four the numbers were imagined – for display. Like magazines, the networks would control the content as no advertiser would "own" a particular show.

Like all new ideas, this was originally resisted by Masison Avenue, but after a few experiments it concluded that this method would work very well for a number of packaging companies that produce branding drugs such as Procter and Gamble with such heterogeneous products like tide, crust (toothpaste) and jif (peanut butter).

In 1960, the magazine was the concept of television advertising, as it has since. Instead of relying on audience identification with certain exhibits, sponsors now distributed their message across the plan in order to reach as many consumers as possible. The ability to spread their adverts to reach a wider range of residents seemed to be very effective for sponsors. Since they were once closed for a certain time each day or every week on a particular network, they could now choose the times and networks where they wanted their message to be seen.

This development of journalist image ads is truly the birth of most modern television commercials. The only exception is infomercial that is actually throwback to the sponsored display model used in the early days of television advertising.

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Vs Traditional Advertising

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is a form of advertising on the web and is somewhat different from traditional ads. SEM's purpose is universal than a traditional ad is intended to meet the needs of individual or local customers. SEM is designed to get business or product ranked on higher echelons to the right of search results through the Google AdWords campaign or YSM in Yahoo. SEM is a paid campaign where the ultimate goal of the advertiser is to rank the top by paying the highest bidder. The text ads from advertisers on the right are the ads that Google has paid for each click.

Traditional commercial covers the masses through expensive electronic communications. In addition, it is also very expensive to create a very high-quality ad campaign. It's this expensive nature of the traditional media over SEM, which allows small and medium-sized business accounts directly for cost effective SEM methods.

Pull Based Advertising / Push Based Advertising

SEM is based on a torch, but traditional ads are ads based on push. This means that when you go to the web ads, you have the actual potential traffic that visits you. Future traffic is interested in buying products and services, and you do not have to shout to them to buy products or services. However, in the case of traditional ads, this is not the case, because it is the advertiser who needs to approach customers located in the target audience and shout for a product / service.

Tracking potential customers / visitors

Under the innovative and clever SEM method, the advertiser can easily track powerful customers / visitors using user-friendly and easy web analytics software like Google Analytics, Cliff Tracks, etc. In this way, the advertiser can know about the real return on money spent on the market. Based on profitability, the advertiser can optimize the campaign. However, this is simply not possible in the traditional ad method. There is no real and appropriate method in which you can actually calculate the total number of target groups who will drop your products or hire your services.

Effect on sales and profits

Advertisers through SEM can reach the maximum number of customers within a limited time, and this is simply not possible if a traditional ad is used. In the case of a traditional ad, it may take several months before the actual impact of ads can be recognized. SEM provides long-term sales and profits. Even if you've quit the SEM campaign, you can continue to achieve increased sales ever and ever. However, in the case of traditional ads, sales and profits only increase in the short term. Once you have stopped advertising your products or services, your sales and profits will decrease.

Advertising Cost and Budget

SEM is a fast track and cost effective form of advertising, but the traditional ad is a slow process method and expensive form of advertising. With the above comparison, it can easily be concluded that if you really want to save money and reach the world quickly, then SEM is the only way to go.
