Advertising Channels

Advertising Channels

There are many advertising channels we can help you get started with, one of the growing and most influential areas is within Social Networks. One of the major benefits of advertising on a social networking site (facebook, Twitter and many others) is that advertisers can take advantage of the users demographic information and target their advertising appropriately.

facebook / facebook pages

A facebook page (or occasionally referred to as a "Fan" page) is a page that can be created within the facebook domain, which can relate to any subject, for example a business profile.

Think of it as a one-page meeting place, with links, information, twitter updates, message wall, news-reader and anything else you want using one of the many available Facebook applications. All that is needed is a Facebook account.

Facebook Pages receives a lot of attention from search engines and is a great way to get your business noticed. If you would like a custom Facebook page, then please check out our prices and get in touch.

Twitter

Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting. Simply find the public streams you find most compelling and follow the conversations.

Twitter is the best way to discover what´s new in your world.

Twitter connects businesses to customers in real-time. Businesses use Twitter to quickly share information with people interested in their products and services, gather real-time market intelligence and feedback, and build relationships with customers, partners and influential people. From brand lift, to CRM, to direct sales, Twitter offers businesses a chance to reach an engaged audience.

Advertise manufacturer-specific deals using additional domains names

We are introducing a brand new service which will allow existing Merlin brokers to split their deals by manufacturer across multiple web sites, whilst still using a single instance of their back-office administration interface.
