Is it just noise? How the experts effectively use sound in web content marketing

We have all been there before. While casually browsing to a website, you are suddenly bombarded with an awful noise that you can’t seem to turn off. And of course this happens at the least opportune times – in the office cubicle, on a quiet subway, or with a sleeping spouse next to you. So is there a place for the effective use of sound in the world of web content marketing? The answer is both yes and no. While not every business will benefit from adding this type of media to their online campaigns, others may find this strategy helps them connect with their audience in a unique way while further strengthening their brand. The key to successful sound implementation though is knowing how and when to use it.

5 Ways to Use Sound Effectively in Web Content Campaigns

1. Be purposeful in your sound choices. Carefully consider what each selection adds to the overall marketing message and whether it fulfills that specific purpose.

2. Make it easy for the audience to turn the sound off or adjust the volume.

3. Incorporate a sound bite. These short messages (often 10 words or less) can be a great way to communicate directly with the consumer about your brand.

4. Avoid using copyrighted songs on your site without permission.

5. Allow users to choose what they listen to by including links to music rather than using an autoplay feature. Especially if you are selling a lifestyle product, these links can be a great way for others to gain more insight into your brand’s personality.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
