Advertising's Biggest Advantages
1You have complete control。Unlike public relations efforts,you determine exactly where,when and how often your message will appear,how it will look,and what it will say。You can target your audience more readily and aim at very specific geographic areas and vertical markets。
2You can be consistent,presenting your company's image and sales message repeatedly to build awareness and trust。A distinctive identity will eventually become clearly associated with your company,like McDonald's golden arches。Customers will recognize you quickly and easily - in ads,mailers,packaging or signs - if you present yourself consistently。
What Are Advertising's Drawbacks?
1It takes planning。Advertising works best and costs least when planned and prepared in advance。For example,you'll pay less per ad in newspapers and magazines by agreeing to run several ads over time rather than deciding issue by issue。Likewise,you can save money by preparing a number of ads at once。
2It takes time and persistence。The effectiveness of your advertising improves gradually over time,because customers don't see every one of your ads。
You must repeatedly remind prospects and customers about the benefits of doing business with you。The long-term effort triggers recognition and helps special offers or direct marketing pay off。
3Advertising costs money。Advertising is only one tool in your sales and marketing arsenal and its cost-effectiveness has to be compared to other business building tactics。Is it better to hire a new sales rep or place an advertisement in the local newspaper?You should always consider your ROI and your opportunity costs before you start an advertising campaign。
