Internet Advertising NOT a Waste of Time Or Money.
By admin | February 6, 2009
Global Video Pages is a unique advertising platform for you and your company. It is an online business directory that utilizes video streaming technology to effectively market and advertise your company to an ever growing base of online consumers at a fraction of the cost of normal TV ads.
If this does not catch your attention then maybe this artical off the Economist.com will:
“IN TERMS of efficiency, if not size, the advertising industry is only now starting to grow out of its century-long infancy, which might be called “the Wanamaker era”. It was John Wanamaker, a devoutly Christian merchant from Philadelphia, who in the 1870s not only invented department stores and price tags (to eliminate haggling, since everybody should be equal before God and price), but also became the first modern advertiser when he bought space in newspapers to promote his stores. He went about it in a Christian way, neither advertising on Sundays nor fibbing (thus minting the concept of “truth in advertising”). And, with his precise business mind, he expounded a witticism that has ever since seemed like an economic law: “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted,” he said. “The trouble is, I don’t know which half.”
Wanamaker’s wasted half is not entirely proverbial. The worldwide advertising industry is likely to be worth $428 billion in revenues this year, according to ZenithOptimedia, a market-research firm. Greg Stuart, the author of a forthcoming book on the industry and the boss of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, a trade association, estimates that advertisers waste—that is, they send messages that reach the wrong audience or none at all—$112 billion a year in America and $220 billion worldwide, or just over half of their total spending. Wanamaker was remarkably accurate.
What Wanamaker could not have foreseen, however, was the internet. A bevy of entrepreneurial firms—from Google, the world’s most valuable online advertising agency disguised as a web-search engine, to tiny Silicon Valley upstarts, many of them only months old—are now selling advertisers new tools to reduce waste. These come in many exotic forms, but they have one thing in common: a desire to replace the old approach to advertising, in which advertisers pay for the privilege of “exposing” a theoretical audience to their message, with one in which advertisers pay only for real and measurable actions by consumers, such as clicking on a web link, sharing a video, placing a call, printing a coupon or buying something.”

By admin | January 4, 2009
GVS-SA HAS LISTENED, NOTED AND CHANGED TO SUITE OUR CUSTOMERS NEEDS!!!!
The global-video-pages.com team are pleased to announce that we have now fully integrated our website into South Africa. The biggest single negative aspect of our marvellous product was the fact that it was hosted in a foreign country and with the online video streaming technology used exclusively by us resulted in slower speeds than what is acceptable to us and our valued customers.
You will now enjoy all the benefits of the site at local level on a par with what is being achieved in Europe and the USA! Other improvements to the site include the up to date visitors hit counter keeping you informed of the amount of visitors not only to your advert, but also traffic to the site in general. We have also added in a rating tool which allows you to monitor the public perception of the quality again of the site in general as well as that of your personal advert by the visitors to your advert.
Too often advertising is left to chance it is time someone put their reputations on the line to show the true affect of internet advertising. We at global-video-pages.com are willing to make this type of information public for the sake of ensuring you get what you paid for. At R2,999.00 per annum or less than R8.50 per day this is clearly not only a superior advertising platform but also offered at a fraction of the cost for non interactive advertising as offered by other advertising mediums who are clearly turning a tinge of yellow in envy of our product.
Please feel free to contact our competent and professional sales staff for more information or visit the website www.global-video-pages.com

Adverts
By admin | October 9, 2008
The problem with video advertising on the internet is usually found in the creation of the advert. Most people believe they are incapable of doing it themselves, when in fact it is almost as simple as writing this document. If you don’t have a video camera and staff or family who are happy to see themselves on camera then there is always the clip generator or power point type of advert. Simply take a few photographs put them together with some punch line text and voila! you have your first advert. Simply put it on the net and see it work for you! if its not what you want simply delete and start again. The important thing is to remember if you like it chances are so will somebody else, if you don’t then remove & replace! The clip generator on www.global-video-pages.com gives you the space to put between 7 & 11 photos with some scrolling text and music as an advert. Clearly the best place to start for beginners if you struggle with that the staff at www.global-video-pages.com seem to be more than willing to help you through the first one. The site even has free generators to practice on until you find your feet. Try it out and let me know what you think.
