Advertising Your Business Offline: Contents

1 Introduction

When your business advertises, does it do so effectively? Are you encouraging customers and sales, or are you throwing money away? A huge number of businesses spend money on placing adverts that are ineffective or prepared without any thought to the aims or target audience.............

2 Placing Your Advert

One of the difficult parts of advertising a small business is choosing where to advertise. There are many different places to choose from; local newspapers, national newspapers, consumer magazines and trade magazines can all be effective forms of advertising for different types of small business.........

3 Booking Your Advert

Booking your advert usually involves calling the relevant publication and placing the order over the phone. You need to know the size of your advert, and whether it uses colours (which costs more in newspapers and some magazines)............

4 Creating an Advert - Part 1

The process of creating an advert can be very difficult if you do not have any experience at it; it is very easy to make a bad advert, and very difficult to make a good one......


5 Creating an Advert - Part 2

One of the most important rules of selling is to emphasize benefits not features; this helps potential customers to understand why they might want a product or service. Without emphasizing benefits, will customers even know what the features are?...........

6 Measuring Results

One of the most important ways to improve your advertising is to record information about the success of past adverts; whether customers like them, whether they achieve your aims, whether the size is appropriate......

7 Remember - Important Tips

If you do not have the experience or knowledge to create a professional quality advert, then pay for someone else to do it. It is much better to pay for someone with direct professional experience in advertising than throw money away on placing a bad advert........
