| Advertising on The
Price Guide UK Thank
you for your interest in advertising with The Price Guide UK.
The Price Guide UK is the most comprehensive
site of its kind available in the UK today, offering in excess of 1,562,000 computer components
and consumer electronics price comparisons. While our competitors merely compare prices of
50-60 retailers, the Price Guide UK offers in excess of 550 indexed retailers.
The Price Guide UK currently
has in excess of 425 000 visitors per month.
The secret of its success is directly
attributable to the extra effort made in locating new sources, including those mail order
companies that dont maintain web sites. Unlike other price comparison sites, which
tend to simply download information from vendors on trust, all data is thoroughly screened
and changed into our preferred format prior to entry into the database. Locating price
comparisons has never been easier, especially when considering the format in which the
results are presented (and the obtuse manner in which the competition presents their results!).
According to Hitwise The Price Guide UK is the most
bookmarked site of all shopping sites (not just price comparison sites) in the UK.
And we know that our users
appreciate this.
Users can be certain of finding the right
product at the cheapest price when accessing The Price Guide UK and, likewise, those
placing banners on this site look certain to reap the rewards of maximum exposure.
Market Leading
Vs Other Sites
The users of The Price Guide UK are unique
in that they are in the market right now, are advertising responsive and do not regard advertising as
intrusive. They are looking to purchase immediately and represent an ever-changing audience.
As the only genuinely independent price comparison site in the UK, the results are impressive.
Even without the benefit of venture capital and a nationwide advertising campaign, The Price Guide
UK has achieved a growth rate of approx. 120% per annum, since 1997. The explanation is simple:
our users are so impressed with the quality, they can't stop talking about us. It's true, our
competitors do receive many visitors, but not many return due to the inferior quality of those
sites. We know this courtesy of the hundreds of e-mails we receive from happy users every month.
This very fact represents a huge advantage to our advertisers, as shoppers are more likely to
explore banners on sites they trust, than on those they don't.
Targeting is the secret
The most important aspect to consider when
advertising on the internet is the target audience. Get the audience right and you're
halfway to a successful advertising campaign.
Users of The Price Guide UK are
potentially very valuable to you, as the decision to buy a product has usually been taken
by the time they visit the price guide. They are ready to place an order, subject to a
final comparison of prices before actually going ahead. There aren't many other web sites
that can deliver your advertisement to such a targeted audience.
Therefore, there is no reason why those not interested in buying computer
systems, etc., should visit the Price Guide UK, which means your advertisement will be
viewed only by potential customers every month. Although there may be up to a
million people viewing your banner every month on non-targeted sites such as MSN, the
number of relevant contacts may be as low as 0.5%. When considering that an average
campaign costs between £25000 and £40000 through these mediums, your 5000 contacts
suddenly look rather expensive! Sites such as MSN are perfect even profitable - for
those providing products of general interest, such as insurance companies, but fall short
when it comes to targeting specific audiences. On the other hand, The Price Guide UK can
deliver your banner ad to potential customers - a very cost-effective manner in which to
reach your target audience!
The average user spends 13 minutes
on our site researching and comparing prices.
The Price Guide UK has a uniquely targeted
audience and its visitors are ready to purchase anything from computers and computer components
to Hi-Fi products, digital cameras, video games, DVD players, DVD movies and washing machines.
Others are content to simply browse in search of a bargain. Almost all of our visitors are
from the UK, which serves to enhance the quality of each banner impression.
The Price Guide UK is
not a gimmick - it is a hard working product!
