Newspapers will benefit From Google Print Ads in the Long Run - BUYER BEWARE
June 6, 2007
Frienemy Google Not a Threat (Yet) to Traditional Ad Sales | www.pbs.org
Google Print Ads introduces yet another source for smaller marketers to play with the Big Boys, but Buyer beware. For the short term, this offering is beneficial to the Newspapers but needs some fine-tuning for small advertisers to benefit. It is essential for the Newspaper Industry to embrace the diversification of media by allowing for the sales base to expand. In the long run Newspapers will benefit from these type of expansions in that they will provide a new outlet other than utilizing Remnant Merchants to offer their available ad space at possible higher rates. What is missing is that the Newspapers are still in control and the smaller advertisers wont experience the medium at its potential. The same would be true for Media companies of TV and Radio.
