The Do's and Don'ts of Advertising
Introduction
Many people mistakenly believe that advertising and marketing are the same, but they're not. Advertising can quickly become the fastest way to waste money on your marketing efforts. However, there are strategies to maximize your advertising, and I'll share some valuable secrets with you today.
Advertising vs. Marketing
While advertising is a common method, it's not always the most effective way to market your business. It's often the most expensive option, leading many businesses to struggle. Wouldn't it be great if there were more cost-effective marketing strategies? Fortunately, there are alternatives like Direct Mail, Internet, Telephone, and Email marketing. But first, let's focus on optimizing your current advertising efforts.
Evaluate Current Advertising
1. Stop Ineffective Advertising: If your current advertising isn't delivering results, it's time to stop. Many businesses keep advertising in the same places year after year without measuring effectiveness. This needs to change.
2. Measure Effectiveness: Determine how to assess whether your advertising is working. Too many businesses exhaust their advertising budgets without evaluating what works. If an ad is successful, continue and expand it. If not, redirect your budget to more promising marketing methods.
Focus on Direct Response Advertising
Avoid brand advertising unless your company is a household name. Brand advertising is costly and usually ineffective for small businesses. Instead, focus on direct response advertising, which aims to elicit a specific customer action and is easier to track.
Creating a Direct Response Ad
- Craft a Compelling Headline: The headline is crucial. It must grab the reader's attention immediately. Avoid using your company name here; instead, start with an engaging statement about your product or service.
- Engage With the Reader: The body of your ad should speak directly to the reader, highlighting the benefits of your product or service.
- Include a Call to Action: Tell the reader what steps to take next, such as contacting you or placing an order.
- Strategic Placement: Insist that your ad is placed on the right-hand page where it’s more likely to catch a reader’s eye.
Testing and Adjustments
- Test Before Committing: Don't invest in a lengthy advertising run or large ad until you've tested its effectiveness. Re-book only if the ad proves successful.
Conclusion
Avoid wasting money on ineffective advertising. Explore a mix of marketing methods for better results and stick with ads that have proven to be profitable. By following these guidelines, you'll maximize your advertising success and make the most of your marketing budget.
