Is there value for an Industrial company to launch a pay per click campaign?a

Keep in mind as we talk that the usual marketing tools for Industrial companies are Trade Journal advertisements and Tradeshows. The Trade journal advertisements are best for use as a branding tool while tradeshow are dynamite at building relationships while spending valuable time with your associates. Both of these have the need to continue and great strengths in their individual purpose.a

So what would be the value of a pay per click campaign? According to Payton Wolfe, writing for Marketing Research World, plenty:  

“Coined by sales professionals as the purest form of direct marketing, pay per click advertising addresses industrial manufacturers’ three biggest concerns - cost, feedback, and return on investment.”

”With pay per click advertising, industrial manufacturers can regulate their marketing spend on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Preset budgets make it easy to control costs and establish a baseline for measuring return on investment. When advertising through the Google or Yahoo paid search network, return on investment is easily calculated through comprehensive reporting that provides all of the information required to make smart decisions about how and when to optimize ad dollars, driving more leads, requests for quote, and sales.”

”The difference between pay per click marketing and tradeshows or trade journals is the extraordinary control available to the advertiser. An experienced pay per click manager can manipulate the quality and volume of search traffic that is driven to an industrial manufacturer’s website. Through keyword research, targeted ad copy, and an effective display URL, pay per click managers can “choose” the audience seeing their advertisements. Furthermore, they can determine the price (value) of each prospect clicking through to the company’s website, relative to the product or service being offered.”

What needs to be kept in mind concerning all of these is their individual strengths – but it must be emphasized and taken into consideration that pay per click is by far the most cost effective and easy to measure type of advertising that is available. It definitively has a strong place in the industrial world.
