Online Advertsing
Online advertising, next to print advertising, provides an effective way to communicate with your (potential) customers and buyers. The frequent appearance of the website (updated daily) and newsletter (sent out weekly), helps establish and build contacts with your target group and multiple individuals within a short period of time. This is very favourable for brand awareness and call-to-action campaigns. Online advertising is recommended as single-approach media, but also as complementary to print advertisements; online advertising will put you in contact with other additional (potential) customers and buyers not reached through your print advertisement.

facilitate communication with visitors, all depending on your campaign goals. Are your
campaign goals branding, or call-to-action? A visual advertisement on the leaderboard or
