Would you believe that there are business owners that think that advertising doesn’t really work? In fact, there are even some that feel like advertising is a waste of money. There are many reasons why some hold that opinion. For many people, it could be that they are simply bombarded with advertisements every day and they believe that the public has become immune to advertisements.
So, are there really any advantages of advertisements? Is it worth your time and money to advertise your business?
Let’s consider a few advantages that advertising can offer your business. There are especially advantages in advertisements for those people that do not have much money to spend, and are just looking for ways to get their product noticed.
Let us begin, though, but simply stating the advantages of advertisements.
Your product will get noticed.
You can create the need for your product.
You can give the advantages of your product over other products in the same field.
Lets take these three advantages and go over them one by one.
The first advantage of an advertisement is that your product will get noticed. Even if people claim they do not pay attention to advertisements that does not mean they don’t notice good ads. The more your product is advertised the more recognition you will receive. And if your ad is funny, or clever, or gives something to the customer that they need, then your advertisement will resonate even more with them.
The second advantage of advertisements is you are able to create a need for you product. Many times, people now days don’t know what they need. Before the cellular phone came out, no one knew that in time that would not be able to live without their cell phone. Phone companies created that need. No matter your product, through advertising you are able to create a need for you customers.
The final advantage of advertisements is it gives you an edge over your competition. You don’t need to rip your competition when advertising, but rather give examples of what makes your product stand out. Let your customers know that your product is the only one that does something.
