Making the most of your Advertising Budget
In order to obtain the maximum return on your investment for an ad campaign it is necessary to identify the most profitable options. An expensive advertisement only becomes worthwhile if there is a good response from your audience.
Do a proper research on the medium that you are hoping to use. Try finding out how the prospective customers fits the profile of your target audience. If local farmers don’t go to the local cinema and you want to sell fertilizer don’t consider advertising fertilizer there.
Try estimating what percentage of the audience responds to your campaign and how many respondents actually purchase your product. This should give you an idea of the cost involved in attracting customers. You may use a similar calculation for several different media channels in order to determine the most effective method. But you need to remember that these calculations may only be approximate.
Once a media has been selected try bargaining the price. You may get a better deal or price when negotiating.
Refer to your budget. By doing this you can show that different channels and rival media are being utilized to carry out your campaign.
Make your reservation at the last minute, some publications may accept lower prices before they publish. However, you may not be able to choose your position and so risk a lower response.
You need to make sure that your advertisement is in the best possible position in the media. For example:
· Right hand pages are more eye catching than the left
· An advertisement should be on a page with related advertisements
· The best page for a newspaper advertisement is page three. Otherwise, the nearer the front the better
· An advertisement that includes a coupon for readers to cut out should be placed at the side of the page
