Digital Advertising In Las Vegas: How To Get Found Online

Sep 30, 2022 11:50:16 AM / by Larry Julius

Last year, $1.3 billion in marketing was spent online to reach Southern Nevada consumers, according to projections based on the 2021 IAB Internal Advertising Report.  This is 35% more than was spent during the prior year.

There is a correlation between the massive amount of money being spent to reach Las Vegas area consumers online and the extraordinary amount of time that these consumers are connecting to the internet via websites and apps.

According to Nielsen, 50.7% of Clark County adults are spending 10-plus hours during an average week online. Furthermore, The Pew Research Center, a public opinion research company, reports that one-in-three consumers say they are online constantly. A 50% increase from 2015.  In all, 85% of consumers say they connect at least once daily.

To successfully market and advertise a Southern Nevada business on the internet requires a full-scale understanding of precisely what online marketing is.  Spoiler alert, having a website or having a social media site is not enough.

Social Media Advertising In Las Vegas: Should A Business Pay?

Apr 12, 2022 2:24:43 PM / by Ali Ahmed

According to Nielsen, 1.5 million adult consumers in Las Vegas use social media every month, an audience that continues to expand. As a result of this growth, social media has become a crucial part of local advertising campaigns.

Social media allows Las Vegas business owners to continually be in front of their target customers and to stay top-of-mind. It allows businesses to communicate daily and be the first company on call when needed. Social media has become essential for marketing local goods and services.

The best part is that social media is free to use for both Las Vegas consumers and business owners.

There is no subscription service for social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram which, according to Nielsen, are used by 77.6% of Las Vegas consumers each month. There are no monthly payments or premium memberships required to unlock more services.

Online Advertising In Las Vegas: How Much Will Be Spent in 2022?

Jan 21, 2022 10:54:52 AM / by Larry Julius

Las Vegas area business owners are expected to spend $487 million advertising online in 2022. This, according to Borrell Associates, a company that tracks advertising expenditures across the country.

Borrell's forecast indicates that almost 50% of Las Vegas's online expenditures will be in the form of paid search. The most recognizable type of this advertising is the paid ads that appear adjacent to the results of almost every search query on Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Borrell's forecast also indicates that approximately 26% of online expenditures will be in the form of display advertising. This consists of traditional banner ads that appear across millions of websites and apps, including social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. According to SmallBizGenius.net, the average Las Vegas area consumer is served more than 1700 of these ads per month.

Video advertising in Las Vegas is forecast to account for 23% of all online ad dollars in 2022. Like search and display, millions of websites can support this type of advertising. This includes sites, apps, and platforms like YouTube, Roku Channel, Hulu, Paramount+, and most social media sites.

The remainder of online advertising dollars is expected to be spent on audio advertising, including streaming sites like Pandora and Spotify; or email marketing campaigns.

So many Las Vegas business owners are investing a large portion of their marketing budgets into online advertising because that's where their customers are.

Recruitment Advertising In Las Vegas: Best Way To Reach Job Candidates

Jan 7, 2022 4:24:42 PM / by Larry Julius

There are 69,498 small businesses in the Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, NV Metro Area, according to the US Census Bureau. Based on projections from the National Federation of Independent Business Owners (NFIB), nearly half of these companies have job openings they cannot fill.

As a result of the acute labor shortage, says the NFIB, 29% of small business owners rank the quality of labor as the most important problem they face. A year ago, only 21% said finding workers was their biggest issue.

The labor crunch in the Las Vegas area is being driven, in big part, by a record-high number of employees voluntarily quitting their jobs. Just last month, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4.5 million employees across the country left their current place of employment.

According to the Wall Street Journal, those who are not currently working say they are in no hurry to return to the workforce. The lack of urgency stems from five primary reasons:

  • 29% say they don't need to work right now because their spouse is employed
  • 28% say they cannot return to work because of care responsibilities at home
  • 25% say they don't need to return to work because they have a financial cushion
  • 20% say they are fearful of returning to work because of COVID-19
  • 5% say they do not need to return because of current unemployment benefits

There seems to be little chance that these resigned workers can be lured back into the labor force. Therefore, to fill open jobs, local business owners will need to focus their efforts towards recruiting among Las Vegas's "passive" job candidates.

Does The Facebook Name Change Affect Las Vegas Advertisers?

Oct 29, 2021 3:32:51 PM / by Larry Julius

Every month, 1.4 million adults in Las Vegas use social media, according to Nielsen. Seventy-nine percent of these consumers use Facebook, far more than other sites like Instagram (also owned by Facebook), Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.

As a stand-alone medium, Facebook is used by more people in Las Vegas than watch local TV stations. Only Las Vegas radio reaches more consumers.

The large audience commanded by social media has attracted a significant amount of advertising dollars from local advertisers. According to Borrell Associates, a company that measures advertising expenditures across the county, Las Vegas area businesses are expected to spend $158 million on social media advertising, a 25% increase over 2022. The overwhelming majority of these dollars are being spent with Facebook.

Yesterday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the company was changing its name to "Meta".  This change, though, only affects the name of the parent company. There will be no change to the company's brands like Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp.

How will this name change affect Las Vegas businesses that advertise on Facebook?

Help Wanted: The Best Way To Recruit Qualified Workers In Las Vegas

May 6, 2021 3:17:50 PM / by Larry Julius

The number of job openings in the Las Vegas area has exceeded pre-pandemic levels, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Businesses of all sizes are adding employees in a big way, according to the ADP Research Institute, but still, large numbers of positions remain unfilled.

With the Nevada unemployment rate still at 8.1%, Las Vegas business owners wonder why they are having difficulty attracting applicants for open positions.

According to a recent article posted in The Economist, there are two major reasons why many sidelined workers aren't anxious to come to work. The first is fear.

Is Advertising On Twitter Right For Las Vegas Small Business Owners?

Jan 12, 2021 1:27:25 PM / by Larry Julius

How important is Twitter to Clark County consumers? Yesterday, for instance, the social media platform was mentioned in at least ten articles published by the Las Vegas Review-Journal yesterday.  Almost every local TV newscast included references to the site as well.

Twitter's outsized presence in the news, however, is enormously disproportional to the importance of the micro-blogging app in the life of Las Vegas's consumers.

According to Nielsen, only about 13% of adults in Las Vegas use Twitter during the course of a month. This is minuscule compared to other social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.

Twitter offers 20 different options that Las Vegas small business owners can utilize to market their goods and services to local consumers.  The platform's minimal reach, however, can hamper the success of any advertising campaign.
