Did you know that traditional media, such as print, television, and radio, is 7x more expensive and only 20% as effective as it used to be?
It’s not because people aren’t watching TV or reading magazines.
People tune out mass media advertising because they don’t need it to learn about new products, services, or technologies anymore. They can search for that information on their own using the internet.
We live in an attention economy, where consumer attention is limited and always comes at a price.
And that price is skyrocketing because every day there are more companies, more brands, and more products all fighting for customer attention.
So what are some solutions to maximize attention rates, reduce advertising cost, and pull people through a buyer’s journey to acquire new customers?
I’ve asked Thales Teixeira, a Harvard Business School professor, to share a few attention hacks with you. He specializes in viral advertising, digital marketing, and how to effectively capture consumer attention to build your brand.
Pretty cool, right?
