Know Your Audience​

Understanding your audience, their needs and how your product or service fulfils those needs all play an important role in campaign design.

Only you know who your perfect target audience is. If your product targets families, parents and their children then you’re probably not going to spend your money advertising in the local senior’s magazine. If your product targets a much older demographic, you’re probably not going to use Snapchat or Instagram to target that type of audience.

Work out where you can directly target your preferred audience and invest, but invest wisely.

Throwing money around to every advertising opportunity that arises isn’t always going to give you the biggest return on investment. Plan in advance, understand the reach, the location of your advertisement, the length of your campaign and design accordingly. You must also be willing to monitor your own return on investment by understanding your own sales funnel and landing page statistics.

Your business and product can target more than one audience at a time but your campaigns need to be designed to speak directly to that relative audience as well. Use effective images, words and call to actions that encourage the correct audience to respond. Again, don’t refer the senior’s ad to Instagram, they won’t get it and if your competitor is more effective in grabbing their attention, you’ve lost business.

Hint: advertising direct via School Newsletters (printed or digital) guarantees your ad will be seen by household decision makers, mums, dads and the wider community. This is a perfect avenue for any business that can provide products or services to families, parents, children and business owners.

Email Remains King!

Email Remains King!​

Email communication has consistently evolved over its lifetime to become one of the most reliable forms of direct marketing. Here’s why…

Email Marketing is Direct! We even said this in the title. It has become a digital one on one conversation with your audience and clients about your product or service.     

Emails can be Tailored! Regardless of who you want to target, their physical location, time zone or preferences, each email can be customised for a specific reason. Not everyone likes or wants the same thing.      

Test & Preview is Easy! Why not try a new template design, incorporate a video file or add a catalogue button? Whatever and however you want your direct marketing to look and feel, emails can be previewed and tested before they’re deployed. This is perfect when you’re not 100% sure of your new design.      

Embed Buttons & Catalogues! Sending direct digital marketing allows you to place the button for what you’d like your client to do right in their face. Get them to shop your sale by clicking a button (they don’t need to Google it themselves); get them to book online so they don’t need to call you and wait on hold.     

Simplified! No matter what platform or email party you choose to use for email communication, customising, scheduling, deployment, adding in digital components and tracking click rates have made this is the simplest form of direct marketing. Most of the time all you need to do is upload your subscribers or recipients, select a template and start entering your message. 

Honestly, the list is endless. The more you use email marketing, the more you’ll notice the benefits and direct return on investment (ROI). 

This is why our ePublisher Communication Platform used by Australian and New Zealand schools experiences overall success. Not only does it provide the schools with digital tools to communicate with parents, staff, students and community members directly and effectively; but it also provides digital advertising opportunities for local businesses and companies who are seeing long term return on investment and success.

Austnews Advertising Tips Blog - who we are

Austnews, who are we?​

Austnews (short for Australian Newsletter Services) is a communication service schools use to connect with their families, students, staff and local community. 

Since 1978, Austnews has been an Australian family owned and operated business providing hundreds of schools across Australia, and now New Zealand, with newsletter templates, printing and stationery services.   With the ever changing world of technology our business model is continually evolving to provide schools with the latest technology and deliver a superior digital service known as ePublisher.

We are teachers, marketers, graphic designers, programmers and parents who understand the importance and value of communication and its role in education. 

Where does Austnews Advertising fit into all of this?

The advertising fee these businesses pay covers the ongoing design, print, hosting and tech support costs required to keep these tools relevant and available.
