The Advantages Of Newspaper Marketing

By Jayne Rutledge


Over the years, many people have been adverting their businesses on newspapers. Newspaper marketing has been seen as effective and that is why many businesses still use this method today. To create ads on newspapers, you are supposed to contact a newspaper company of your choice or write a promotion letter and send it to their editorial staff. The ad will actually be placed on a strategic page on the local newspaper for your audience to read. Discussed in this piece are the benefits of using newspapers to promote your business.

To begin with, you notice that a great number of people read newspapers every day. This means that you can target many people with just a single ad you place on newspapers. Also, you can only target those people you want. This is not like television or radio advertisements that target all people as long as they are listening or watching news on their screens.

Secondly, since the newspaper ad will appear as hard copy the reader can actually keep it for future reference. That is why you find some people reading old newspapers. Maybe they saw some catchy adverts there and want to keenly look at them. This means that your ads in newspapers never become old since people check them any time they want.

This method is actually cost-effective. It cannot be compared with television or radio advertisements whereby you pay for every word spoken. With newspaper marketing, you only pay for the space occupied by your advert or article. If your budget is small, you can decide to utilize a very small space so that your budget fits well.

Newspapers allow advertisers to choose the size and content of their message. They also have the ability to change the nature of ads from day to day. This is important because people get bored when they see similar ads every now and then. Addition of new articles or messages for your target audience to read can be very helpful. The articles should be informative and not very promotional. They should try to explain the problems of people and how they can be solved.

This particular method can be used by all types of businesses. There is the notion that media broadcast advertisement is only for big companies. That is why those people who operate small businesses do not advertise on televisions or radios. But a newspaper is for any type of business regardless of its size. You only need to secure space as long as you can afford to pay.

It is actually a very effective method of business promotion if people utilize it well. If you choose this method, you are supposed to keep on posting ads so that people can read them. You should not post once and assume that people have seen them. Make sure you post the ads especially during the weekends or holidays when many people have time to read newspapers.

The other advantage of newspaper marketing is that many people can view the adverts many times. This is unlike broadcast media whereby you can miss a channel wile you are busy doing something else. But skipping a large and catchy advert on newspapers is not easy. Also, people take their time to go through newspapers until they become familiarized with that is contained there.
