CONTENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN KING
The “big idea” WAS the “big ad” that got attention, got people talking around the water cooler.

DON’T ACT DIFFERENTLY TO “REAL LIFE”• Have a reason to connect – answer the W.I.F.M!
• Education & Communication v Promotion
• Everyone wants to know the Do’s and Don’ts
• No-one wants to be “Sold!”
• Real Example:
![Page 23: Practical Digital Marketing Strategies](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061108/544f44b5af7959157d8b75b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST – YOUR WESBITE
1. Your most visible “face to the world”
2. Show room open every hour of every day,
3. First thing that your prospects see and experience about your business as a result of all your other forms of communication
• Halo Effect - Canadian researchers have found that the brain makes decisions in just one 20th of the second when viewing a webpage.
• First impressions can affect subsequent judgments of perceived credibility, usability, and ultimately influence purchasing decisions. If you visitors believe your website looks good, then this positive quality will spread to to the overall impression of the company.
