"Of all the people who see a banner on the Internet, only 1 percent click. But the remaining 99 also made contact with the advertisement, and although they didn’t access it, they still received the message."
The advantage internet advertising has over traditional media, is that it is possible to objectively measure its impact, by counting the clicks that tell us that the reader is interested and needs more information about the product, service or brand on offer.
