Why should my business invest in a media buying strategy?

Media buying is ideal for many businesses for a number of reasons. When a brand owns the right piece of media real estate it goes a long way towards helping the business:

• Successfully launch new products/services or for start-ups, their brand identity
• Build-upon existing brand equity, gain credibility and exposure
• Secure new customers
• Take advantage of high-traffic, high-volume platforms to maximise exposure and increase brand awareness
• Sell-off liquidation, seasonal or run-out stock quickly.

Any business owner can call up their local television or radio station and buy media real estate. If it’s so simple why should you employ professionals to help?

 

 So you don’t waste your money and your time. Don’t try and save money short-term by tackling media buying on your own. There are too many variables involved to take the solo approach. Many an over-confident entrepreneur has made the mistake of buying media in the wrong place, on the wrong medium, on the wrong channel, at the wrong time and so on and so on. Avoid disaster and be sensible by acknowledging your limits. Even if you do feel you know your product and the media buying landscape well enough, there are many pitfalls you will need to navigate.  

What can I expect to encounter if I try to buy media without professional help?

 

 If you attempt media buying without professional help and the pool of contacts which come with employing experts, then you will be doing all the work all by yourself, and dealing with the highly complex media buying world.

Without being a skilled professional yourself in the area, you could find yourself overloaded and not sure which road to take next, and which will most benefit you and your business.

You’ll save yourself time and hassle by employing a professional, skilled media-buying expert. If you try to do it all yourself without the know-how and resources you will:

• Waste your time trying to come up with a media buying plan as well as deal with various companies and sales representatives 

• Waste your money advertising in the wrong place and/or at the wrong time and potentially pay higher fees

• Discover all your input and energy has resulted in naught or worse – business failure.
