Traditional Advertising Cost per Person VS Pay Per Click Advertising

My previous job in the broadcast media gave me a little knowledge about how expensive advertising could be in terms of cost per person. Besides having to pay the prohibitive cost of producing your ad material (talent fees, editing, technical, copywriting, etc.) the rate per 30 second spot is largely determined by a media outlet’s average number of listeners on a given time segment of their daily shows. You pay dollar per person whether people heard your spot or not, and regardless of whether they take interest in your products/services or not. Advertising through your local media outlet is expensive, and buying spots in the Super Bowl would cost you millions. Compare this to your Pay Per Click advertising campaign, you get exposure globally and you can still opt to allocate a measly $50.

Pay Per Click advertising needs not expensive production expenses, can be set-up in minutes, gives you performance feedback and is very cost effective. Pay Per Click advertising is like giving someone a thick bundle of hand-outs or flyers to be distributed on the street. You don’t pay that guy on an hourly basis for his job, nor do you pay him on a per number of sheets distributed. You only pay him a certain amount every time someone comes to you holding one of your flyers and inquire about your business—that’s Pay Per Click advertising. What could be more cost-effective than that?
