be hard to track ROI.• Microsite of landing page – directing consumers to a landing
page on the site (such as www.dialaphone.com/tv) . Can help measure responses, but can be difficult to remember .

Traditional Media
Quality • Can provide high levels of brand awareness through high-impact ads• Can create an emotional connection with the brand through sounds and visuals• Can provide an explanation of the online value proposition of the brand• Less detailed information can be provided• Cluttered environment
Time Offline communications generally have a longer lead time than online
Flexibility • Little opportunity to personalise information• Less interactive experience compared to online
Coverage • Offline methods offer high levels of reach and some ability to reach niche audiences (through increasingly fragmenting media)
• Can offer high levels of message frequency
Cost • Generally much higher than online and a lower ROI• High wastage

Benefits of Using Offline Communications to Support Digital Campaigns
Offline communications are most effective in achieving four critical things:• Reach• Brand awareness• Emotional connection with the brand• Explanation of the online value proposition
20 Oxford Professional Education Group Ltd
Issues in Offline Communications to Encourage Online Usage• Higher cost – ROI for online tends to be higher than offline methods. • Higher wastage – online marketing can be effectively tracked to give
a true picture of ROI.• Poorer targeting – targeting by behaviour, location, time and
keyword, site content is readily possible online but not always offline (except with direct marketing).
• Poorer accountability – can be more difficult and expensive to track responses.
• Less personalised – Cookies can be personalised, leaflets can’t.• Less interactive experience – most offline communications are one-
way, but interaction is possible online.
