8 rules for better advertising
Want to get the most from your advertising dollar? Follow these 8 rules and make sure you get bang for you buck:
1. Talk to your target audience.
If you’re going to advertise, don’t waste valuable money talking to the people who aren’t interested in your product. That means being specific in the language you use and speaking in a way that attracts their attention.
Does your business have a meaningful difference?
Every business, big or small, needs to give a customer some reason to choose their product or service. The best way to do this, is to define why your product or service is different from the competition and more importantly why your customers should care that it’s different. In short, you position your business as distinct in the market.
