Is is possible to guarantee results form advertising? If you approach advertising ans a science instead of an art results are fairly predictable.
The first tangible Return from an Advertiser?s money, when invested in Space, Is an Inquiry about their product That Inquiry may be verbal to a Clerk over the counter, or-it may be by Mail, in a written,stamped, and posted letter.
In any case this is just an inquiry for the goods or service. This is real evidence your advertising is working and generating a return on investment.
In today market it is easier to get someone to fill out a form online or send an email than it is to get them to go to a store and talk to a salesperson.
When she talks to a retailer it there are 2 to 3 times as many chances of substitution. The salesperson may try to sell the customer a higher commission item or the one that is in stock. Whereas if the customer orders online or by phone there is less of a chance of substitution.
The ad which pulls consumers into retail outlets must be as full of influence as profitable mail order advertising. The consumer must be fortified against substitution.
The ad must sufficiently influence the consumer to buy that product or they may go to the retail store and be convinced by the sales clerk to buy the sale item or one in which there is a sales contest. In this case the competition would benefit from our ads. Many proponents of branding, or name recognition are just drawing people into a store to buy substitutes. When Nike started advertising sports sandals Teva's sales more than tripled.
The ad must therefore give them a better Reason to buy your goods than he is likely to get from the Salesperson for the competitions goods that Salesman will want to substitute. It must give him this reason in such lucid thought-form that he can comprehend without effort, so impressively that he will believe our reasoning Claims. It must accomplish this in spite of his natural distrust of all Advertisement statements.
This is why not more than a fourth of those who, out of mere curiosity, buy the first package, through "General Publicity," ever buy the second or third consecutive package of the same article. Because they do not buy on Conviction In the Meantime, it usually takes about all the profit in the first purchase of any "Generally Advertised" article to pay the cost of introducing it to the Consumer's notice, through Advertising.
But, with "Reason-Why" Salesmanship-on-Paper, results are insured and far more cumulative. Because, a Consumer need only be convinced once, through "Reason-why" or "Salesmanship- on-paper," that the article is what he should, for his own sake, buy and use.
Because, through General Publicity, his attention had only been "attracted," not compelled and enduringly impressed with a logical understanding of these qualities. But, when once convinced in advance of purchase, through "Reason-Why" Salesmanship-in- Type, that the qualities claimed for the article do exist in them, he starts using that article with a mental acceptance of these qualities.
The consumer will become a regular buyer of the product because he first read or heard about it in a reason why advertisement. Repeat customers are much more profitable than new ones.
The difference in Results from Space in which this direct selling force of "Reason-Wh"? has been used, and in results from similar space filled with "General Publicity," is often more than 60 per cent. Conclusive tests on Copy have clearly proved this, and preceding article cites a vivid example of it from actual experience.
