5 Reasons Why Funnies Extra!

Is The Best Place ForYour Ad

By Jim Lein

P

rint advertising has been effective for centuries. In 1609, an ad appeared in a British newspaper promoting migration opportunities to America. The Brits wanted American stuff but needed selfsufficient, adventurous souls to go get it for them. I guess that kind of backfired on them. But you have to admit, the ads worked. They still do.

Internet advertising is still in its infancy and it shows. The challenge with online ads is to get your message heard above the noise. Remember the days when a Pop-Up was a toaster pastry and Spam was something you’d be happy to see float on to the beach if you were starving on a desert island. Shouldn’t Spyware refer to the latest fashions favored by secret agents?
