• Newspaper ads

What happens when you post an ad on the newspaper and it doesn’t look attractive or very descriptive? For instance, you could tell people in your ad that you are selling two furniture sets like this: “I am selling a chair that is brand new. Please call for more information” or you could say something like: “Selling brand new chair! Full Grain leather color black and for just $9.95. Don’t miss this opportunity, call us today.”

Which ad do you think would be more effective? Well, I have to say the second one. This is because the first one is too simple and not as descriptive as the second one. Now, applying this to RAC works the same way. However, the best thing about posting bid requests or “newspaper ads” in RAC is that you don’t have to pay for them like you would usually do when submitting ads to a real newspaper when they normally charge you on a per word basis. In RAC is free to post bid requests 100%!

When you’re designing a trifold brochure, you have to put your contact information someplace on the brochure. The only question is, where?

There are a few options:

On the front of the brochure - Whether you put the contact info on the front depends on your customers’ level of familiarity with you.

If your trifold brochure is meant for customers who are already familiar with you, and just need ordering information (like a take-out menu or spa menu), then the front is the best place for the contact info - that way, they can get what they’re looking for quickly.

If you’re creating the brochure for new customers, then putting all your contact info on the front is probably a bit early in the “relationship” to be asking clients to contact you. If that’s the case, then reserve the front for making your product or service look extra-attractive.

Inside The Brochure - The inside of your brochure may have many opportunities for calls to action - bits of text where you ask your customers to contact you. If this is the case, then plan to include at least some contact info - your phone number, email or website - next to the call to action. You may want to include multiple contact methods near the call to action.

It is hard to find a satisfactory definition of advertising.

A picturesque way of putting it is to call it business imagination, an imagination that sees in a product possibilities which can be realized only by appealing to the public in new ways to create a desire where none existed before. It is a very broad word, an omnibus word conveying different ideas to different people.

No advertising definition is here possible except as this entire article may be accepted as a definition. So rapidly has advertising advanced through its various changes that even the latest dictionaries and encyclopedias are out of date in their attempts to define it. The advertising of yesterday is not the advertising of today. Men not so very old have witnessed its entire development from an untrustworthy instrument of quacks to its place as an engine in the conduct and expansion of business.

Advertising in the dictionary sense has a history as old as that of the human race. Just as soon as there were enough people in the world, some sort of formal announcement had to be made. The early history of such announcements - from proclamations to the beginning of pictorial and lettered inscriptions, from these primitive posters to the discovery of printing, and from the advent of printing to the beginning of real advertising - is of interest only to the archeologist. It is of no value to the business entrepreneur. It would be of no assistance to understanding modern advertising than ancient Phoenicians coins would be to comprehending the principles of a modern bank.

The most important aspect of any business is selling the product or service. Without sales, no business can exist for very long.

All sales begin with some form of advertising. To build sales, this advertising must be seen or heard by potential buyers, and cause them to react to the advertising in some way. The credit for the success, or the blame for the failure of almost all ads, reverts back to the ad itself.

Generally, the “ad writer” wants the prospect to do one of the following:

a) Visit the store or website to see and judge the product for himself, or immediately write a check or use a credit card and send for the merchandise being advertised.

b) Phone for an appointment to hear the full sales presentation, or write for further information which amounts to the same thing.

The bottom line in any ad is quite simple: To make the reader buy the product or service. Any ad that causes the reader to only pause in this thinking, to just admire the product, or to simply believe what’s written about the product - is not doing its job completely.

The “ad writer” must know exactly what he wants his reader to do, and any that does not elicit the desired action is an absolute waste of time and money.

For those of you who have Home Businesses on the Internet, you know by now that you have to develop a steady stream of traffic to your website in order to produce enough sales to grow and substantiate your business. Bottom line…no traffic = no sales. No sales = failed business.

During my two years on the Internet, I have tried many forms of advertising that have been less than successful. I am writing this article to all the “newbies” out there who flock to these forms of advertising because they are easy and free, and after these advertising methods have produced none of the desired results, they leave with a feeling that they have been scammed and that the Internet is not the virtual marketplace that everyone has raved about.

In reality, the Internet is the virtual marketplace of the future and is producing mind-boggling sales for the entrepreneurs who are pursuing effective advertising methods.

The first form of advertising that leaves the worst taste in my mouth is called FFA advertising (Free for All). In my opinion, FFA sites prey on “newbies”, promising that they will put their ad on thousands of websites, often supplying the newbies with automated software so they can accomplish this with one click of the button.

Web publishers are discovering that Google Adsense is a great way to generate revenue from their content rich sites. Google Adsense provides a simple sign up process and a simple system that generates cut-and-paste code that will display ads on the site that are matched to the site’s content. With 15 minutes of effort and a brief wait for approval, a webmaster will be set to receive about half of his potential revenue stream from Adsense. The other half of the revenue takes a little thinking and work.

AD LAYOUT The shape of the ad will have a great affect on clickthrough rate. If you choose to use a format that is very familiar and easily ignored, like a traditional banner ad shape (468 by 60 pixels), your performance will be poor. If you choose a newer format like a tower (120 wide by 600 tall) you will see better performance. www.CFNewbie.com utilizes this format. You will also see higher clickthrough rates as the overall size of the ad grows. If your site allows it, go with the biggest and newest shapes that Adsense offers.

COLOR The color of your Adsense ads can affect the way users respond. You can be subtle and blend into the rest of the page and may draw people to links as they appear to offer more information rather than standing out screaming come buy something. The subtle approach can be accomplished by selecting the standard Google Adsense color scheme closest to your site’s scheme or you can match exactly using the custom pallet.
