2. The Best Advertising is Relevant Advertising • Your customers are looking for you online. In fact, more people now use the Internet to locate products and services available locally than any other resource. • As a result, traditional media usage (e.g. Yellow Pages and newspapers) is on the decline. • Most consumers don’t want advertising until they need advertising. They need advertising when they are close to making a buying decision. • The main problem with traditional advertising is that the mating of these types of neededads with buy-ready consumers is typically coincidental, not targeted.  • Experts estimate that $50 billion of U.S. ad spending is “wasted” every year. • Today's results-oriented advertising is about connecting with the consumer at the exact moment they need your service. • 92% of local searches convert (to sales) later offline. • Recent studies show that local businesses can see 10 times better ROI from local search.
