However, before we go too far. Any businesses who intent to go for offline ads should choose the right medium.

So, what is the main difference if you would have spent all your budget on the internet?

Some advertising agencies have conned busineses into believing that building a Web site is a branding exercise. Advertising on the Internet is about building revenues and profits and it does not bombard people.

What businesses want to know is:

1)How many customers bought the products and services which advertised?
2)What exactly did they buy?
3)How much did they buy?
4)Did they return and come back to buy more?
5)Have they happily made the purchase and without complaint?
6)Do they keep coming back?
