Physical Advertising That’s Still Relevant for Your Business
Advertising today is more diverse than it ever has been before, which means that there are so many facets to consider in promoting your business. However, traditional print advertising is not completely dead, as they might have you believe. Consider the following methods, including billboards, feather flags and print, for your advertising portfolio.
Choice Billboards
Proper proximity and choice locations are what make your billboard choices relevant. Busy traffic ways, highways and event buildings are all ideal locations to provide billboard advertisements that get your business name and services out there into the world. Also, bear in mind the routine of your target audience. If you sell farm feed, what locations will your customers frequent? Key up that list, and use it as a way to target people so that those who are exposed to your billboard find it relevant to them, and you don’t waste money because of lack of strategizing.
Feather Flags and Lot Signs
It’s still relevant to provide proper advertising and promotional materials at a space’s location. Feather flags, banners and other lot signs can be especially helpful for car lots, running events, grand opening events, and the like. These at-location advertisements help to garner a sense of excitement and interest for customers who are coming to experience what your business has to offer for the first time. They clarify who you are, any sales you may be offering, and make your space that much more inviting to potential customers.
Print Positioning
Newspaper and magazine advertisements aren’t irrelevant anymore. They’re simply more strategic than ever before. It’s important to know where your potential customers are at, and the kind of media that they consume that’s relevant to them. If you’re a local dentist trying to inform customers about a deal on dentures and dental fixtures, then the Sunday’s local paper is far more relevant to average consumers of that news source than, say, teen jeans on discount at the local thrift store.
It’s all about positioning the print ads so that your audience is going to see it. Use an acrylic brochure holder to place on countertops so that patrons can take information with them when they see it.
Magazines, newspapers and even ads in local event brochures, such as concerts, can keep your name in front of potential customers, so that they associate who you are and what you do with when they need that good or service.
Whether you choose billboards, feather flags, or newspaper ads, physical advertisements are still and important and relevant part of your business. Make sure you’re diversifying your advertising to reach out fully to your target audience.
