Various advertising platforms that businesses opt to do their marketing have their respective cost implications which vary from one form to another. Spending on advertising has been a norm for many companies in all fields be it food, machinery and even travels amongst other fields. A case in point was a report done by a firm called AdmanGo that did a survey on the spending amounts for adverts. To everyone’s surprise, between the first and second month of the year, the company had spent six billion dollars Hong Kong money.

Revenue collected from the press, and print advertising platforms had the highest decline with 28%. The digital platform is the television adverts for this case, had a 9% decline in its collection from the services of advertising offered.

Various reasons have been purported to be the reason for the decline and among them being the bureaucracy inhibiting the advertising field. This has affected the advertising services in the industry as it has not been able to change to the changing times, emerging trends and a new set of branding and marketing. The media has remained with the same traditional advertising techniques that even the customers do not understand. Individuals and business entities are opting to shift to new advertising trends that will highly implicate their business sales, unlike the unpopular traditional methods.

This does not implicate that the more you spend on an advertising channel, the more efficient it will be on the products and services offered. Identifying the right advertising method is the best way for which business can start appreciating the sales that they make. This is because each product and service offered by a business have its respective audiences to which the information has to be conveyed to. For a fact, with the right content for the audience, the cost implications are minimal. This is because a brand has already been established and new customers will come on board on the existing brand awareness and referrals. This minimizes costs
