Advertising dollars are going online where consumers are,and returns are more easily quantified.Key findings include:
• Print, while still the largest recipient of ad dollars (40%), will continue to lose share as online share grows to 20%.
• Advertisers rate online advertising very effective for branding, contrary to common wisdom that online shines at leads but is weak for branding.
• The results are in line with a trend of increased marketing dollars being committed to online activity, and a decrease in spending on traditional media such as print, TV and radio.
• The news isn’t so good for traditional marketing channels such as print, television and radio. 44% of executives plan a decrease in newspaper ad spend, 34% plan a decrease in radio ad spend and television ad spend looks set to take a 30% hit.
Put another way, these top-tier marketers increased measured internet spendingby $1 billion; slashed newspaper spending by $674 million; and cut TV budgetsby $406 million.

Niche vs Individual BusinessResearch shows consumers want choice and options, not just one resort. Are you going to buy or click in to see just one water park in Wisconsin or would you click into ResortsandLodges.com to see all water parks?
Goals & Objectives
• Optimize your brand to build identity and “buy now”.
• Allow the niche portals to buy uninformed search traffic on Google, yahoo!, MSN, etc.
• Why compete with large portals on keywords?
– Expedia
– Travelocity
– Orbitz
– ResortsandLodges.com
– Tripadvisor.com
– Your visitor bureaus both locally and statewide
• Buy or optimize your brand on these niche portals where the consumer actually goes through all phases from research, planning, transacting, & sharing.

Properties are losing $4,150 in reservations without videoevery time a property video is played worldwide.
• Users click video “Play” button more than they click on image ads - Video ads generate about three times the replay rate as image ads generate clicks through to advertisers’ sites.
• Video click rates are far higher than image format ads - Users click on video ads about five times as often as they do on image ads. - Most advertisers probably think of online video ads as being a brand-oriented format. Of course, they are excellent for branding, with the opportunity for sound, motion, and story. But when judged on the basic direct-response metric for online advertising, the click-through rate – online video ads perform extremely well.
