Si’ \ Supplied by The C E’ZIMMERMAN Co. Chicago AN ADVERTISEMENT YOUR CHEAPEST SALESMAN. The big mail-order houses reck on that they must pay so much money for every inquiry they get. The amount of this sum is ascer*-j tained by dividing all the money i spent on advertising and selling ; literature by the number of letters received in answer to the same. This refers to inquiries [only. Not every inquirer becomes a custo mer. The securing of actual cus tomers cost more. The money that has to be spent to get one new customer by those concerns would astonish the local retailer. It is usually not less than {the amount spent on several weeks’ advertising by the average' local storekeeper. The salesmanship on paper that is necessary to do all this is the finest that can be got for the money and it is con sidered cheap at the enormous price paid for it because it is en gaged in building up a big mail order business with new material. The local retailer can apply a les son from this to himself. If those mail-order houses spend so much money to get one new cus-, tomer, why should a retailer not make an effort in the same direc tion? Why should he not adopt the same means of attractive salesmanship on paper? If he can bring even one new customer a week to his store with an ex pediturethat is many times below what a mail order house has to pay for getting the same results, it is worth while paying closer at tenton to ithis successful method of selling. If he can influence more than one customer, and it would be poor local newspaper advertising indeed that could not do that, he would be accomplish ing far more than the mail order houses with their highly paid sell ing experts. And, as a business man, he could congratulate him self on a good investment. He could say to himself that he had in his advertisement the cheapest salesman on his force. It is, of course, not always pos sible to readily get this strong, convincing selling matter in your newspaper space. ou may not be able yourself to write it and you may not have any local per son to whom you may turn. But that need not deter you. There are on the market one or two syndicated advertising services that are designed especially to suit cases like yours. 1 hese serv ices are supplied in a series of fifty-two advertisements with ac companying copper-plate engrav ings, one for each week in the year, at prices ranging from one dollar per week up. Many of the advertisements have been classed by authorities as equal to the best that have made success for the big city department stores and national advertisers. Reduced fac similes of several of these adver tisements will be seen at the top of this column. T.ie editor of this paper will be glad to supply further particulars of the syndicate whose specimen ads adorn the top of this colunm and I advise early application as only one of these services will be supplied to each storekeeper in his own town.
