Using the Power of Mass Media Cost Effectively in your Marketing Plan

It is often believed that using Mass Media in a Marketing Campaign isn’t for business enterprisees with tight marketing budgets and reserved only for larger companies. That just ain’t so! Here are some cost effective ways to harness the reach and power of the mass media in your next marketing campaign. It is smart to relook your Marketing Plan and Strategy to find areas to comprise mass media.

The Power of Mass Media

Why should you consider using mass media? Mass media gives your business wide spread appeal and identity, along with wide recognition. This helps you to establish a brand and quickly. Today mass media is far less expensive than it has ever been, and it is now offered to small businesses regularly.

Mass Media Outlets and Sources

Newspapers:  While Online Marketing is really giving newspaper advertising a run for its money, you will find that newspaper ads are getting cheaper and cheaper as a result.  Moreover, a newspaper can add flexibility and can be quite targeted if necessary.  Always test your ads by including codes so you know which ones are most effective.  Narrow your ads to the most effective papers by contrastive ads and gauging the differences.

  • Send in good artwork and affirm with the production department that your Ad will print well.
  • I like to run smaller ads in different sections with tracking codes to determine your best as placement.
  • I like the Classified Section Ads because this is where serious buyers go.
  • Always point to a specific Sales Page on your website which is designed around the Ad you place.
  • Always ask about volume discounts and reduced ad rates when testing the paper’s effectiveness.  Everything in Advertising is negotiable!
  • Offer something for FREE (Bold it & Capitalize it).
  • Use a Graphic or Logo to increase the effectiveness of your ad by 30%.
  • Repeat your substance three times in a small area by using a Logo, Headline and Copy that relate.
  • If you advertise on the TV, using one frame from the TV ad can increase the print ad’s effectiveness by 40%.
  • A good ad can make good circulars and help brand your name / product.
  • Newspaper advertising requires consistency to get any traction or ROI but make sure it is working for you before committing to a long run. 

Magazines:  I like Magazine advertising as it is Regional and National in scope and you can target your audience effectively.  I like to test classified ads in different Magazines to see what works then I consider Display ads (and keep the classified ad). 

  • Magazines lend credibility
  • You can use your Ad effectively in a Circular or other company medium.  Always say, “As Seen in Entrepreneur Magazine (insert the magazine the ad appeared in).”  This gives you instant familiarity, credence and credibility with the reader.
  • Consider running a low cost classified Ad in a multitude of Magazines which target your prospect verses running a Display as in a couple.  Your ROI for dollars spent will typically be much better.
  • A prospect reading a classified as will think you are cheaper than the advertiser with the expensive Display Ad.  If you aren’t selling a luxury product, this can be a eager start to put across with a price conscious prospect.  They think money is being saved even before they call you and discuss price.  What a win-win for both the prospect and the business owner!
  • Multiple Ads run through a Ad Media Company in several magazines can get some great discounts.  If your credit is decent, you can be all-inclusive payment terms which match with your Ad ROI.  Therefore, no money out of pocket until revenue is generated from the Ads (if timed correctly).  Powerful!
  • Take advantage of Split Runs with Magazines to see what Ad works best, in what section of the magazine.  Great way to test a Headline or Copy.
  • Magazines are more targeted for the type of reader verses a newspaper.  A newspaper is more geographically targeted.  Using the two in conjunction can be powerful!
  • If your product or service is business oriented, consider advertising in a Trade Magazine. MediaFinder is a great way to find the Trade Magazines to advertise in.
  • Magazines lend themselves to color.  Use it!
  • Magazines life cycle or longer.  People go back to them over and over, as well as, hang on to them.  Your Ad has a chance of being read multiple times.
  • direct your Magazine Display Ad with Boldface sub-heads.  These will be read first, should grab attention and get the reader to either read more or act.  No more than 50% of a Display Ad should be text.
  • Consider blowing up your Magazine Ads into posters and mount them strategically around and outside your business, with the Headline:  “As Seen in Entrepreneur Magazine….”
  • Ask the Ad Space Rep to call you when remnant space is available.  You will save big bucks!

Radio:  I like Radio when it’s a Question & Answer type scenario; ask an expert show; something which sets you up as an Expert.  You can negotiate the price as it supplys the public valuable information, which is the empowerment of Radio.  It’s an Ad disguised as a Resource!  A Win-Win for you and the radio station.  Make sure to give out a short website address and phone number.  Make both easily memorable.  Track the results!

  • Another strategy is to run cheap, short ads on less popular stations, bundled for uttermost savings but make sure you test and track them to ensure a good ROI.  Cheap isn’t good unless you get viable, profitable results.
  • Be sure to individualize your Ads and you do the talk.  This is a great opportunity to connect with your prospects.
  • Partner up with other strategic businesses to offer complete solution radio talk shows, like a panel of experts to give out advice.  This is significant:  Have the moderator give out one website address and one phone number and the prospect can choose the company (or better yet companies) to follow up with.  You can offer discounts for conjunct services and meet the customer as a dual solution.  A marketing fulfilment company can help you set up and maintain a coop partnership.  For example, a Landscaper can partner with a Landscape Designer, which are two services that can be combined for a total solution for the customer.  You can coop the cost with your Strategic Partners.  You can kill the competition with this strategy!  Make sure you choose your partner(s) deliberately.
  • Put your Ads on the website for people to listen to, especially your Q & A Expert Sessions.
  • Interviewing the President of the company can be a great way to start, giving you plenty of material to draw on to make a variety of Radio and Online Ads.  This is a very effective use of your Ad dollars.
  • Consider the afternoon for peoples drive home for your radio ads, you’ll have their attention.
  • Always reference your website and an easy to remember number.  9 times out of 10, if the website is easy to remember, the listener will find it.

TV:  You can cost effectively target your audience.  The ordinary U.S. Household watches an average of 8 hours TV per day, with the average viewer watching 4  hours per day.   With Cable, you can cost effectively target an audience.

  • TV is a great set up for your Sales Page on your Website.
  • Avoid prime time and take advantage of fringe time.  Consider a media buying service to really save on your ad times; they often buy unsold TV time for pennies on the dollar.
  • Consider hiring an inbound telemarketing cal center to take the calls off your ads, no matter the hour of the day.  If you use a different phone number from channel to channel or ad to ad, you can easily track them.
  • Direct Response TV can offer your prospects the entire sales process.  This is a powerful system!  Some direct Response advertising can be bought on a per inquiry or sales basis, taking a lot of risk out of your capital outlay.
  • The TV station can provide all the Production services, saving you thousands.  However, with a good marketing consultant, you should publish the script.  I like a Storyboard because it helps you visualize the Ad.  Save money by having a pre-production meeting to ensure things run quickly and smoothly on production day.  The less the editing, the more economical your ads will be – plan ahead!  You ordinarily can gain three good ads in one production day – good planning can help you achieve this great use of time and money, which brings your production cost per ad to about $300.  Shoot in digital so you can replay it immediately and quickly make any fixes.
  • Concentrate on 30 second spots.  Direct Response sales ads should be about 2 minutes and keep the phone number visible during the entire ad.
  • Show your product or service in Action.  This is the real advantage to TV ads.
  • Don’t make the Ad more interesting than your product.
  • Remember a TV’s volume may be muted so tell your story visually!

Outdoor Ads:   A lot of outdoor ads are not effective as they aren’t visual enough and can’t be read at 55 mph. However some good ways to make it more effective: tell the driver to Exit Now; contains a big arrow; is very visual; and your ad is in an excellent location – all of these variables can add up to a successful billboard ad. Being a constant reminder to commuters that you there and ready for them, can be powerful. Outdoor billboards are excellent in establishing an identity and brand for your business. However, on the flip side, they can be very expensive.

  • Use no more than Five Words; use one large Graphic; make sure it is well illuminated.
  • If it is a Digital Board, make sure your Ad stays up long enough for passer bys to visually take it in and act on it.
  • Consider sharing the Billboard with another business in your Office Park or Retail Center and / or have your Office Park or Retail Center mentioned for even greater cost savings!
  • Consider other less costly alternatives like bus, taxi or bus stop Advertising if it serves your market well.
  • Remember, an Outdoor Ad should be clear from afar as prospects will be viewing typically from a moving vehicle.
  • Be careful to design your sign with the character and taste of your community in mind.

Direct Mail:  Generates leads that can lead to a sale.  Direct Mail sets up your leads.

  • Advantages:
    • Measure results immediately
    • Can target your audience
    • Can be personalized
    • Receives some of the highest response rates of all media
    • Great for repeat sales
  • Important Elements of a Successful Campaign:
    • Ask the reader to take Action
    • Find recipients who have bought via mail before
    • Include a recommendation in your letter
    • Ask for the business in your first headline
    • Use Black and Red color types.  Red for important words or headlines
    • Have a good logo or graphic
    • For success, repeat your mailings with different content
  • The Numbers:
    • 90% chance of reaching your targeted audience
    • 60% read the letter
    • 50% make it to the decision maker at a business
    • 60-30-10 Rule:  60% of your Direct Mail success depends on the right list; 30% of it depends on the offer; and 10% depends on the Creative.

  • Tips:
    • Oversize the Addressee’s Name
    • Consider putting no return address on it to increase curiosity
    • Use mail as a follow up for:
      • Sales Call
      • Appointment Confirmation
      • Bad Customer Experience
      • Recognize Achievement
      • Introduce a new team member
      • Holidays
      • A Thank You for a demo, presentation, sale, no sale, referral

Note:  If possible, I prefer Direct Email over Direct Mail because it is instant, automated, easily tracked and cost effective.  However, obtaining good email lists without violating Spam Laws can be a gainsay.  Always consider using Direct Mail with Email or Point to a Website with Direct Chat to enhance the dialog and personalize your campaign.

Resource:  Consider getting the Magazine Direct Marketing to learn as much as possible about the art of Direct Mail.

  • Tips (continued):
    • Keep a elaborate database and manage your mailings with a Customer Contact System.

    • Address the reader / audience directly and personally
    • Keep your phraseology short and concise
    • Provide a list or Problems, Benefits and the corresponding solutions
    • Test Mail until you have all the kinks out
    • Repeat mailings combined with email and phone really increase your odds of success
    • When marketing to Business Owners or Executives do not use labels.  And follow the mailing with a handwritten note.
    • Consider putting a tease on the envelope and don’t forget that a great Teaser location is the back of an envelope
    • A handwritten P.S. gets people’s attention – use it wisely.  I.e. Call to Action, an Added Benefit, a Bonus, Discount, etc.
    • Toll Free Phone Numbers can threefold your response rate.
    • Treat every Direct Mail order as a Rush Order. 
    • Test, Test, Test to ensure your Direct Mail will work.  Your goal is to break even during the testing period.
    • Include publicity about your Company on your mailings
    • Test many different lists to find the best ones
    • Check out Direct Mail News
  • Post Cards:  I like Post Cards over a letter.  Why?  No decision whether to open or not.  Costs 1/3 less.  Easy and quick to print yourself.  Post Cards force you to be concise, which can be the main reason they are so effective. Consider using Email Audio Post Cards
  • Combine Direct Mail with Email:  The combining of mail and email can doubly your response rate.  You can send out mass emails and then mail a postcard to the ones who actually opened the emails.  You can alternatively send a post card introducing your company and benefits, then follow with a more detailed email that calls for action and points the prospect to a web sales page (by the way, a phone number and web sales page should be included with the postcards for Your “hot” prospects).
  • Catalogs:  You need 25,000 customers for this to make sense.  32 pages is the optimum length.  40% of prospects save their catalogs – this is the primary benefit.
    • of necessity to be well organized, indexed and have categories.
    • Too cost prohibitive for you now?  No problem:  put it up on the web and grow your catalog customer organically.

MyPRGenie Spells Out Critical Steps for Building Solid Relationships with Journalists

All solid relationships with reporters takes time and effort, and that holds especially true with the field of public relations. MyPRGenie features a wide variety of tools that helps each business develop its own online newsroom that allows each release that they create to be automatically tagged and search engine ready for the World Wide Web.

MyPRGenie will help you target the right reporters and publications for the maximum buzz potential for each release. However, building relationships with journalists is a key step in helping each business get the most mileage possible out of every new release.

The public relations experts at MyPRGenie strongly suggest that each business follow these critical steps for establishing and fostering fruitful relationships with journalists.

1. Know your target

Read up on what the journalist you’re targeting has written to find out what he or she covers. Understand what is interesting to that individual journalist’s audience. Don’t waste time pitching on a topic unrelated to their beat.

2. Know your client

Before you start reaching out, become the resident expert on your client and the issues that you’ll be discussing. The more knowledgeable you are, the better your chances of establishing strong connections with journalists.

3. Get to the point

The first questions during your initial call to a journalist should include:

  • Are you on deadline?
  • Do you have a minute to talk?
  • If they do have time, explain why your article and client may be of interest to them, quickly and succinctly.

4. Who are you? Identify yourself:

Get to know your journalists–take notes and keep a file on each person. What do they value? Information? Insight? News tips? Story ideas? Press releases or exclusives only? Do they prefer face-to-face meetings, e-mail or phone? What are their deadline pressures?

5. Altruism helps

Put that knowledge of their likes and dislikes to use. Call with a story tip you’ve heard about, even if it’s not about your client. Suggest story angles they may not have considered. Send an interesting link. Compliment them on their big stories.

6. Deliver the goods

When a journalist is seeking information or an interview, do everything in your power to get them what they need, and quickly. Failing to respond to a journalist on deadline is inexcusable.

7. Cast a wide net

Always be on the lookout for new journalists to contact by tracking the media coverage of your client’s industry.

8. Keep after it, Tenacity Pays

Once your research has established that a particular journalist should be interested in your client, be persistent, but not annoying. Following up at least weekly shouldn’t be too intrusive.

Barter Systems, Trading What You Have For What You Want

Bartering has been around literally forever or nearly so. In fact, bartering predates the use of formal currency as a measure of exchange for labor or goods.What is bartering? Simply put, it’s the exchange of goods or services without the use or exchange of formal currency.

You may, for example, barter with a friend to mow your lawn in exchange for babysitting her children for two hours. Or, in a more formal arrangement, you may barter with your landlord to do maintenance or repairs for other tenants in exchange for a reduction in rent. It remains a useful way to exchange goods or services without having to bring money into the equation.Now, bartering has a new twist. With the advent of the Internet, online barter sites are showing up everywhere. Some sites are local, while others have a reach that’s literally worldwide.

In general, these sites allow users to post ads on what they have to offer and what they would like in return. Some sites are free, while others charge a user’s fee. To find a site local to you, go to your local newspaper or newspaper’s online site(s) and type in “barter.” In many cases, one will already be established. If not, do a bit of research if you like and start your own.

U-Exchange.com also offers tips on getting started with bartering online and not only offers listings by country, but also specific to individual states in the United States.Google Groups offers specialized Usenet groups (many local) offering the barter of a variety of goods and services.

http://Yahoo.com has over 600 mailing lists available offering a variety of locations, goods, services and bartering options.

If these are not local to you, and this is what you would prefer, you can start your own.Bartering has also made a comeback in the world of business with Internet trading.

With “direct bartering”, business owners swap their product(s) or service(s) directly with their vendors in exchange for the vendor’s product(s) or service(s).”Exchange bartering” means each bartering partner will use his extra time, goods or services to get “trade dollars” instead of direct goods or services from the other.

These trade dollars can then be used to purchase goods or services from the other vendors. This works well when exchanges aren’t quite equal or need to be measured or kept careful track of. Barter Systems, Inc. is one online barter site that utilizes trade dollars as a measure of exchange for its members.

In What Way Are LLC’s and S Corporations Similar?

What’s the difference between an LLC and S corp?   S corporations and LLC’s are similar in both the way they provide liability protection to the owners and in the way they report taxes. 

Both provide limited liability protection to the business owners.  This means that if the business gets sued and a judgment is obtained against the business, the judgment creditor can only go after the assets of the business and not the individual’s personal assets.  However, liability protection is not absolute  and often is determined  on the facts of each situation. 

It has been suggested  that the liability treatment of S corporations (which are treated just like regular C corporations for liability purposes) is more predictable than LLC’s because they have been available for many more years than LLC’s and have a lot more legal cases which act as precedents in determining issues of liability.  However, we are seeing more and more cases involving LLC’s so this distinction difference is not as important as it might have been in the past. 

Both S corporations and LLC’s are pass-through entities for tax purposes.  That means the  entities file an informational tax return and report the net profits of the business.  However, the individual owners, which are called shareholders in an S corporation and members in an LLC, report income and/or losses on their individual tax returns based upon their prorata share of ownership.  For example, if there are two members in an LLC with one owning 25% and the other 75%, then the one would report and pay income tax on 25% of the net income of the LLC and the other would report and pay income tax on 75%.  

There are some differences in the way basis  is determined for the purpose of determining losses.  Basis is a complicated tax concept to discuss  with your tax advisor.  Just keep in mind that if you are expecting substantial losses in the early stages of the business or if you are borrowing substantial sums of money for your business, the LLC may allow you to deduct greater losses than you could if operating the business as an S corporation.

Some accountants  recommend using the S corporation to reduce (not eliminate the 15.3% FICA or self employment tax).  This advantage  use to favor S corps in many situations.  However, LLC’s can now choose  S corp tax treatment so a person can operate an LLC with the less rigid operating requirements of an LLC but get the same or similar tax treatment of an S corp.  I believe this is a good approach to discuss with your tax advisor.

For those who currently know the way to engage in Blackjack, it is easy to skip this section. Otherwise, it’s going to only consider a number of minutes to find out the rather simple actively playing guidelines.

Greeting card VALUES

Tens and encounter credit cards be counted as 10, Aces be counted as possibly one or 11 (your preference), and all other cards have a very count equal to their face value.

THE Play

All game enthusiasts engage in against the supplier, not towards an individual an additional. Each player makes their guess as well as the company starts out by dealing two handmade cards to every single player and two homemade cards to himself. The dealer’s second greeting card is dealt face-up for all players to see. Should the trader carries a “Blackjack” (and Ace plus a ten or face card), he will immediately turn it above and instantly wins all bets, unless a player also incorporates a Blackjack, in which situation it really is a tie.

Then, beginning with all the player to the dealer’s left, every single player has the option of standing (not drawing any way more cards) or being dealt extra homemade cards. Play continues with that player till the player stands or “busts” (gets a card count that totals more than 21). Following all gamers have made their choices (or busted), the vendor draws increased cards to either reach a total of 17 or greater (when they have got to instantly stop), or bust. If the seller doesn’t bust, all remaining player’s hands having a higher card complete win, and many using a reduced card total get rid of.

One especially essential point to remember is this: you goal isn’t to have a greeting card count as close to 21 as achievable, but for getting closer to 21 than the vendor, without having intending around. The objective is to beat the trader! Therefore, your decisions on whether or not draw extra handmade cards are dependent about the value from the dealer’s up card.

DOUBLING Straight down, SPLITTING PAIRS AND Insurance plan

You’ll find three unique bets it is easy to make right after the to start with two greeting cards are dealt. Doubling lower suggests you can actually double your unique gamble soon after you obtain your primary two cards. You then obtain one – and only a – further greeting card.

Splitting pairs implies that whenever you acquire any pair on your earliest two charge cards, you may split them into two separate hands and perform each one an individual independently (of course, you ought to location an additional wager equal for your primary gamble for the 2nd hands).

Getting insurance plan signifies that in case the dealer’s up card is definitely an Ace, you are able to wager an increased amount equal to half your authentic guess as “insurance” in situation the supplier incorporates a blackjack. If the dealer incorporates a blackjack, you drop your unique wager but your insurance cover wager is paid at a couple of to 1, so you break even.
