Marketing Ideas

Almost all price comparison sites promote themselves and most spend vast sums on their marketing programs.  Confused.com is one of many that spend considerably on Google Adwords, not to mention TV advertising.

Most websites use a variety of promotional methods in order to boost their brand awareness and image.

  • TV Promotion

TV has to be one of the primary forms of marketing that is used by the majority of websites.  Across almost all TV channels right throughout the day ‘PCS’ are promoting their cost cutting services to UK individuals.

As most adverts are aimed at car insurance, mobile phones or home insurance, the adverts are hitting their mark.  This makes TV advertising a very effective advertising medium for price comparison.

  • Radio Adverts

Radio is another popular form of advertising that is used by comparison sites. 

Like TV adverts most radio listeners will fall into the audience that may use these websites and therefore the adverts that run (no matter which radio station and what time of day) will have a targeted audience. 

As radio advertising is cheaper than TV, it makes it an effective form of marketing.

  • Public Relations

Public relations plays a key role in the marketing and promotional campaigns of websites. As it ties together the various forms of marketing to ensure that the right media message is being sent out. 

Most comparison sites will use an internal source for PR rather than outsourcing this to PR agencies.

  • Social Media

All price comparison websites have a very strong social media presence on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter as they compete against each other.

Social media is a very new form of marketing, but packs a powerful punch in the marketing world.

The Future Of Advertising For Price Comparison Sites

The UK seems to like its price comparison sites, as most of us will use them instead of going to individual companies and get individual quotes one at a time.
