Why Advertise On The Internet

Without doubt, Information Technology and electronic communication are the fastest growing industries in the world today.

Terms like e-commerce and online are becoming household words and there is little you cannot do on or over the Internet: online banking, shopping, buying & selling, flight bookings, classifieds, and so the list goes on.

The following figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (August 2000), from a survey conducted in May 2000, demonstrates the growth of the Internet in Australia:

More than half of Australian households (54% or 3.8 million) have a computer;
Households with Internet access increased by 800,000 over the 12 months to May 2000;
An estimated 6.4 million Australians accessed the Internet in the 12 months to May 2000;
802,000 Australians used the Internet to purchase a product or service online.

(For details, a copy of Use of the Internet by Householders, Australia, May 2000, can be purchased from the ABS bookshop)

Apart from the dramatic growth in Internet usage and online purchases made by Australians last year, there has also been a significant increase in the number of businesses using the Internet and electronic communication means, such as e-mail.

And, finally, many businesses now have their own web site, promoting their goods and services on the Internet.

Why Advertise With Us

Why? Because we are specifically focusing on your industry! We are neither a phone book, nor do we post general classifieds - we only promote your industry!

We advertise our web site to particularly target those people building, renovating, extending, buying or selling, landscaping, or just doing the odd job around the house - we are targeting those people that need you!

Furthermore, advertising with us is efficient and cost-effective. Advertising with us will potentially give your business exposure to those 6 million Australians using the Internet every week, and our rates are very competitive in comparison to phone books, newspapers and other typical forms of advertising.

Plus, on our web site you get so much more. Not only will your name, address and contact details appear, but you have your very own web page with photo and as much detail about your business as you want.

We can provide you with your own e-mail address and if you don't have access yourself, we will post or fax your messages to you. Or, if you are online, we simply forward your messages and, should you already have a web site, we will provide a direct link, free of charge.

For more information, talk to one of our friendly sales & marketing staff or feel free to contact our business manager about any detail - all of us are here to help you!

Advertising - Do you need to?

Why is it? - a man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an advertised bed, in advertised pyjamas. He will bathe in an advertised bath, wash with advertised soap, shave with an advertised razor, have a breakfast of advertised juice, cereal and toast which was toasted in a advertised toaster, put on advertised clothes and look at the time on his advertised watch.

He will drive to work in an advertised car, sit at an advertised computer, drink his favourite advertised drink and writes with his advertised pen. Yet this man hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising does not pay. Finally - when it is too late and his unadvertised business goes broke - he will then advertise it for sale.
