Basically, using more than one advertising medium and tracking conversions. Utilizing prospect diversified habits to get better results.
Why is Multi-Channel advertising so effective?
For two reasons. One reason would be to reach potential prospects who may only be exposed to limited types of platforms. For example, they may not watch much television but listen to the radio or vice versa. Or even better, if they do watch television and listen to the radio then the combined effect of both are more powerful than just one medium alone. This is media synergism. Of course, we now live in a digital age and rumor has it that the Internet is here to stay. Each advertising medium has its strengths and weaknesses. Now it is being shown that more time is being spent on the internet as well as more advertising dollars.
