(We love educational material. It’s getting rarer and rarer for universities to offer classes on industrial processes. They are usually left to teach theory and let the greenhorn learn on the job. We’re writing a size reduction systems article for ROCK PRODUCTS. If you have any resources we can use, please send them on.)

Verizon – Very good ad with a real life photo of truckers. The message is a classic Call-To-Action with an eBook to download. Very well done.
Another great ad. Very clear headline, good photo and the copy gets right to the point about the guarantee. Directs folks to their booth and even social sharing buttons.
Starts out great with a clear metaphor of the dual nature of their business but then the copy says nothing except for a few buzz words. Sure it’s pretty much impossible to actually use a testimonial but I would like to have one. At least an actual problem solution that demonstrates their capabilities would be better. With real numbers and real results.
It’s very hard to have an attention getting ad without a human or an animal in it. It would have been better to put a fish in the glass. What is chlorsulfonated polyethylene? It’s an honest question this ad should answer.
I take it back what I said about Burke. This ad is informative and doesn’t have an animal in it. Good invitation to the product launch and a convincing story. A lot packed into a small package but it works. Good job, Crane.
Oh boy, “Settle the Fuck Down!” It’s not even a metaphor for their process. Or so complicated I don’t get it. Great photo and an easy to understand process that replaces flocculant. Why not explain it? They start in the fine print.
A branding ad with the name in the headline. Why waste the space? What does Aerostrip mean? Air-O-Strip? Strip-O-Air would be better. The copy begs for some actual detail about how it saves money and time. Is the floor mounting patented?
If you can’t say anything but your name at least show some projects. Some capacities or details of the photos would be nice.
Everything works great. I’d just like to know the guy’s name and contact info, I’m ready to learn more. The promised application examples aren’t on their web site.
Good information for applications. I guess the ad is dual purpose for manufacturing ideas and for membership. Pick one or the other, if you can.
What’s the use of such a milk toast ad? Like logos on a Nascar? At least BASF had a slogan, “We don’t make the products, we make them better.” Better off using the cost of this ad to sponsor industry association meetings. They could use it. At least their local rep could get up and say a few words.
Nice informative ad. I like the story they tell and the clear product definition and illustration.
Good basic product ad. Begs to be online with the video link. I thought I was going to get a good demonstration but instead I got a long funky web page. Still don’t understand how it eliminates a welded flange.
With careful consideration, thoughtful planning, and the right hacks, Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising can be a helpful resource investment alongside other marketing campaigns. Thanks to Marcel Pirlich for his PPC email this morning as inspiration.
Five core aspects of PPC:
1) Define your goals.
Ask yourself:
• What do we offer? What makes us special? Where do we offer our product?
• Who is our target audience? Where are our potential customers? What do we want our prospects to do?
• What is our budget? How much do we want to spend monthly on PPC? How much do we want to pay for one new customer, sign-up, etc.?
The more specifically you can answer these questions, the more effective your PPC advertising will be.
2) Develop a comprehensive keyword list.
When it comes to keyword selection for startups, long-tail terms are great ones to go after. They’re highly targeted and may be more cost-efficient than more competitive terms.
The best way to do this is to understand the questions about your business and audience. Once you know broad terms related to your business, do some research to figure out some of the popular long-tail searches related to those terms. The chart illustrates different types of keywords for the different buying cycle stage: top of the funnel (research), middle of the funnel (specifications) and bottom of the funnel (buying).
3) Know your competitors like your best friend.
After identifying your goals and a solid keyword list, complete a competitive analysis — not so you can obsess over them, but so you can identify opportunities.
Do other company’s offer a strong differentiation? Are they bidding on keywords you’ve missed? How are their ads and landing pages different from yours? Asking yourself these questions can provide clarity regarding who else is in your market and what their acquisition tactics are.
4) Track your conversions right from the start.
If you can’t attribute actual leads and customers to your PPC activities, you can’t make intelligent decisions about where to cut spend (or increase it).
