Newspaper ads are an excellent way to drive sales, but a bad ad can be a costly mistake. Here are some easy ways to ensure your newspaper ad pulls results.
First, it is important to mention your offer in the headline, then restate your offer in a subheading. This is the first part of the ad that a customer notices. Be sure that your ad includes a word or phrase that is set in large type, such as FREE, BUY NOW, or GUARANTEED. This helps attract the customer's attention.
Do something to differentiate yourself from others who advertise in the newspaper.
The way your ad looks is extremely important. Experiment with different ad sizes and shapes. Put a unique border around your ad, even if it is small. Also, you could try adding a color to your ad. Red, blue, and orange often work well. Remember to create a visual look that you can maintain every time you advertise. This creates an identity, and increases familiarity.
Always put the name of your company somewhere at the bottom of your ad. Don't expect that people will get the name from the copy, the headline, or the picture of the product.
If you're going to use newspapers to support your other advertising efforts, be sure you use them weekly, or stay away from them all together.
