Business Advertising

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

A lot of things about opening a business are difficult, but you never really realize how hard advertising new business is, until you try it yourself.

Don’t get me wrong! There are many simple techniques for business advertising. The problem is that not all of them work.

I was opening a new restaurant downtown, and I figured that enough people would see it whenever passing by to scare up some customers. Just to be sure, we painted a big sign in front of the place, had a sort of grand opening ceremony, and even put up an ad in the newspaper. It wasn’t a great success!

Northeast Iowa’s Advertising

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The people in charge of northeast Iowa tourism are trying to come up with a marketing scheme that makes sense to owners of the area and will increase tourism from out of state. There are three large population centers in the area, Chicago, Milwaukie, and Minneapolis/St Paul. These areas are being targeted with ads intending to inform people there about the sights in northeast Iowa. The last round of advertising was deemed to be unsuccessful and the dollars actually counted as tourism actually dropped last year. This  time around they are trying to appeal to the people who are looking to get out of the big cities and just relax and get away from it all. Some of the sites being pushed include campgrounds and fishing lodges. Almost all of the ads are for attractions that are family oriented as they feel that getting the whole family into the area will have a larger impact on the amount of money spent. There is also a state park in that area that has a lot of historical value. Effigy Mounds contains several Indian burial sites that are shaped in the form of different animals. These animals are positioned in different “scenes” that if viewed from above tell a story.

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

Companies spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to advertise their products. They always want bigger and better ways to grasp the public’s attention and maybe even to shock them sometimes. Advertisers want the big pictures, with the catchy slogans that everyone will see whether they are driving, walking, or cycling. The best way to get this accomplished is with billboard advertising. Your company’s slogans or products displayed on busy highways or in major cities are sure to catch everyone and anyone’s attention.

Ever Wondered About Advertising Billboards?

Friday, May 18th, 2007

This is a great article about advertising billboards, and one mans experience of them. It’s a great read, here is a sample:
When I lived in the city I usually had to take a bus into work every day. It was never a good idea for me to drive, as the parking where I worked was sky high. I got used to the bus, but when my brother came to stay with me for a while, he offered to pick me up for work each day. I loved it, and it was much better than riding the bus. He was always caught in traffic on a certain street each day though, and he came to loathe the advertising billboards he saw as he sat there. It became something that he would talk about each day as his irritation grew.

How To Promote Your Business - Keeping It Simple

Friday, May 4th, 2007

How To Promote Your Business - When I was going through college, owning a business was the dream. I spent so much time worrying about how to start a business, I didn’t know what to do with it once I had one. I have some rather specialized knowledge, although it is less specialized nowadays. Basically, I’m a technological wizard. I can program, build computers, And all the rest of it. I wanted to work as a Self-employed computer consultant. Although I knew that I could make a lot more money in the industry, it seemed worth the sacrifice to be able to set my own hours and be my own boss. Unfortunately, I knew nothing about how to promote that business….

Advertising billboards

Friday, March 30th, 2007

More and more, my colleagues in the field of marketing think of billboard advertising as a waste of money. After all, no one really pays attention to advertising billboards anymore, do they? The billboards can not dance around or make noise to attract you. Besides that, most of the time you have passed them by within a minute of first seeing them. Given this, many people argue, what is the point? When I hear these kinds of opinions, however, I am sure to point out the fact that they are misguided.

Spend Wisely To Save Money When Investing

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Have you ever noticed that the things you buy every week at the grocery and hardware stores go up a few cents between shopping trips? Not by much…just by a little each week but they continue to creep up and up.

All it takes for the price to jump up by a lot is a little hiccup in the world wide market, note the price of gasoline as it relates to world affairs.

There is a way that we can keep these price increases from impacting our personal finances so much and that is by buying in quantity and finding the best possible prices for the things we use and will continue to use everyday… things that will keep just as well on the shelves in our homes as it does on the shelves at the grocery store or hardware store.

For instance, dog food and cat food costs about 10% less when bought by the case than it does when bought at the single can price and if you wait for close out prices you save a lot more than that.

Working In New York Advertising Agency

Monday, January 29th, 2007

It is true that New Yorkers spend a lot of money, but influencing how they spend their money is next to impossible. They don’t really care what other New Yorkers are doing, so you can’t attract them to following the herd. At the same time, they are some of the most conformist people in the world, so New York advertising can’t really appeal to a rebellious streak either. New York advertisements have to appear sophisticated, and making advertising appear sophisticated to New Yorkers is no small feat.
