Advertising on a Budget: Part 3 ?" The Power of Frequency
Summary
Believe it or not, you can spend just $100 a month and achieve significant exposure in front of your target market. Here's how one business achieved it.Frequency is Key
This article is the final installment in a three-part series showcasing the marketing challenges faced by PrescottWeddings.com, a small business navigating the advertising landscape.
When it comes to marketing, remember: frequency is king. The more often your target audience sees your brand, the more likely they are to engage with it. Studies suggest that people need to encounter your message multiple times?"anywhere from three to 27 times?"before they take action.
Brand recognition relies heavily on consistent exposure. Consider how brands like Ivory Soap, Campbell Soup, and Tide have become entrenched in our minds through persistent advertising. This is the level of presence you're aiming for with your business.
Frequent advertising doesn't just attract new customers; it reassures existing ones too. After making a purchase, people look for confirmation that they've made the right choice. Your advertising can provide this reassurance. Research shows that after buying a car, people are more attuned to ads featuring the same model, reinforcing their purchase decision.
Low-Cost Strategies for Frequent Advertising
You don't need a huge budget to maintain frequency. Here are some strategies to increase your advertising presence without breaking the bank:
1. Minimize Ad Size: Smaller ads cost less. For tips on creating compact ads, refer to "Advertising on a Budget: Part 2 ?" Thinking Small."
2. Cluster Your Ads: Run your ads consecutively rather than spreading them out. If your audience sees your ad frequently within a short period, they'll perceive your presence to be consistent, even during off weeks.
3. Leverage Frequency Programs: Take advantage of offers from your advertising outlets. For instance, lock in deals with contracts rather than paying open rates.
A Real-World Example
PrescottWeddings.com used a newspaper program called "3 For Free." By running an ad for three consecutive days, they received the next three days for free. We created a small one-by-two-inch ad and ran it six days in a row, then paused for three weeks before repeating the pattern monthly.
After a year, people frequently mentioned seeing their ad "all the time." Business owners were eager to advertise with them, and potential customers regularly engaged with the brand.
The cost? Approximately $100 a month.
Conclusion
Building a brand takes time and effort, but with consistent exposure, it is achievable. Remember to keep your business in front of your audience as much as possible, and you will see results over time.
