Pay-Per-Call Gaining Attention of Advertisers
I attended a informational Webinar today on Pay-Per-Call. It was sponsored by SEMPO and moderated by a representative from Ingenio, who currently has a Pay-Per-Call product that is designed for national and local advertisers.
Pay-Per-Call is similar to Pay-Per-Click in many ways. Advertisers are able to select a category, establish monthly budget and bid against the competition. The major difference is the consumer will be directed to call a "vanity" phone number to place the order instead of visiting the company's Website.
The advertising dollars spent on Pay-Pay-Call has been projected to double over the next five years. Many major advertisers and advertising agencies have begun to add Pay-Per-Call to their marketing strategies. Zunch has tested this product and will offer it to clients that would benefit from this service.
