Traditional media internet ads 'most trusted'

The Newspaper Society is highlighting new research which shows consumers trust advertising on traditional media owners’ websites more than ads on sites owned by internet “pure-plays”.
The research is published by the British Market Research Bureau and TGI Net.
The NS is also highlighting quotes from BMRB director Trevor Vagg who says: “Traditional media owners still have an advantage over pure-plays because brand trust is already well established among the audience.
“While today's audience may have more control over what they watch, read or listen, old habits are not easy to break and we get comfort from brands we know and trust.
“People are more likely to trust advertising within media they trust to provide reliable information.
“The values of the media brand rub off on the advertisers, so strong media brands with engaged audiences make the best advertising environment."
The Newspaper Society says the findings echo research from the NS the wanted ads III, which showed that ads on local media websites are more trusted than ads on other websites.

Good information.

In the present economic situation if you are looking to get your message across to people and advertising your business without spending loads of money, then you can opt for traditional outlets like print advertising agencies. These agencies can offer you classified ad space at special discounts. This is also a great opportunity especially if you are setting up a new business or are tight on your advertising budget.

When you use a professional ad agency, you tend to receive an early notice of the special offers and prices and also a considerable reduction in the advertising rate for national press. So help your business grow by promoting it in the low priced publications. Use print media to cut your costs and boost your advertising efforts in this growing economic recession.
