RE: [uk-netmarketing] banner ads v PR

[Mat Morrison]

Are apples more or less tasty thatn oranges?


Suspect you mean as a traffic-driving mechanism -- rather than

awareness-generating, or trust-building exercise.


Why not do both? I'd not be alone if I suggested that you cannot sensibly

measure the impact of an individual communication channel in the complex

environment in which our messages appear (this is an understandably

unpopular opinion)


On the plus side, however, we do find that CTR improves during TV, press and

PR activity. The banner seems to act as an aide memoire and entry point
