FAMOUS LAST WORDS...
“I have cut expenses so advertising is out tor a while.”
‘‘This is the wrong time of the year for me to advertise.”
“Everybody knows I’m here and what I carry.”
“I have too much business now, so I don’t need to advertise.”
“I don’t need to advertise, I don’t have any competition.”
If you've been catching yourself saying things like this, or if you've even been thinking
thoughts like this, do your business a favor and STOP!!! Advertising is much more
than a "necessary evil." It's the best way you have to promote your business by telling
your customers what you have to offer and why they should spend their hard-earned
money with you.
"I have to cut expenses, so
advertising is out for awhile."
Cutting your advertising when things
are slow is like driving on a long, flat
road and turning the engine off. Sure,
you'll coast for awhile, but you'll
begin slowing down and pretty soon
you'll coast to a stop.
When business is slow, advertising is
the very LAST thing that should be
cut. It is your mam tool for educating
people about your business and
encouraging them to come to your
store. Moreover, advertising is the
first part of selling it is what gets the
ball rolling.
"This is the wrong time of the
year for me to advertise."
Your store is open every day and every
month so you obviously want custom
ers every day too! you want business
now, so you should ask for business
now. You have to interest people in
your merchandise and attract traffic
into your store. You're right, people
are not usually interested in pool sup
plies or lawn mowers during the win
ter, nor are they usually interested in
coats and other winter clothing during
the summer.
Your "off season" is when you should
run special sales or promotions. There
are many sources for great advertising
ideas. Ask for advice or assistance.
"Everybody knows me, where
my store is and what I carry."
It's true that your regular customers
know you and your business, but what
about all of the people you see at local
restaurants that you don't know? If
you don't know them, chances are
pretty good that they don't know you
either, and that means they have
probably never been in your store.
And what about all of this area's new
comers? They certainly don't know
you or your store.
A strong, consistent advertising pro
gram will assure you that you're doing
everything you can to invite those you
don't know into your store.
"I have too much business
now, so I don’t need to adver
tise."
There's no such tiling as "too much
business." When times are good for
you, you can rest assured that your
competition knows that and is doing
everything he can to increase his share
of the "pie" by decreasing your share.
A well-planned advertising program
will help you hold, and increase, your
place in a competitive marketplace.
"I don’t need to advertise
because I don’t have any com
petition."
If you think the dress shop is not in a
competition with the automobile
dealer, think again! The total annual
retail sale in Banks, Jackson and
Madison Counties is over $500 million.
Every smart merchant is looking for
ways to increase his business, not by
increasing the size of the overall "pie,"
but by increasing the size of his share,
even though the "pie" isn't getting any
bigger.
So, you see, if you're one of the for
tunate ones that has no direct competi
tion, you still need to advertise to keep
other businesses in town from taking a
part of your share.
"There are so many ways to advertise. Which is best?"
"Why should I advertise in the newspaper?"
An ad in the newspaper is "news" about what's
going on down at your store. If you don't adver
tise, you're saying that there's nothing to talk
about at your store. People take the paper
because they want to keep up with what's going
on in and around our county here in Northeast
Georgia. They pay fifty cents each week, to get
the paper. You can count on a warm, receptive
audience because the newspaper is giving them
what they want. And if they don't have time to
read all of it now, they'll come back later, and
your message will be there, too. Studies show
that a single copy of weekly newspaper is read,
on the average, of 4 times by 3 different people,
and it stays available for 4 or 5 days.
Most experts will tell you that there is no such thing as
“bad advertising.” They will also tell you that some are
better than others. A study done specifically for
Georgia markets showed that the weekly newspaper
consistently rated tops in such areas as net reach, cost
efficiency and merchandising with radio taking second
place in almost every category.
We're MainStreet Newspapers and we reach over 35,000 homes in Northeast Georgia every week.
