These ads are typically placed for a fee which corresponds to the size of the ad, as well as the medium in which it is published. PROMOTED In years past, when almost all individuals read the local newspaper or received a new phone book every year, these were solid media or marketing channels on which many business owners could rely. However, this is rapidly changing. More and more people are choosing
to get their news online rather than through the newspaper, and a large number of households no longer take telephone books, since it is often easier to simply look numbers up online. Even popular magazines have fallen prey to the Internet age. Many of these magazines do not have the same circulation numbers they once had. They too have been forced to adapt to the constantly changing world of technology, and in doing so, advertising opportunities for business owners who had previously found success through placing ads in these magazines have changed. In some instances, the change has been favorable -- desperate to retain print advertisers, many newspapers and magazines have been forced lower prices. Conversely, ultra popular publications have created a restricted availability that rivals Super bowl commercial status. Lastly and sadly, many smaller publications that support local business and provided hometown advertising options have folded, forcing business owners to find affordable alternatives.

The 2 Keys to Success To succeed in traditional and newer types of marketing requires that you pay attention to the following 2 keys: Know who your customers are and target them. The best marketing message in the world won’t resonate if delivered to the wrong customers. For example, a plastic surgery advertisement targeting middle age women won’t work on ESPN. Craft a compelling USP (unique selling proposition) and offer. The offer you convey in your advertisement must stand out, and you must
convey why you are unique. Are you better, faster, less expensive than competitors? And are you offering something compelling (e.g., free trial, free consultation, first-time discount) to get new customers to take action? If not, your advertising will be much less effective.
