WHY ADVERTISE?<\/h4>

If you are in two minds as to whether advertising is for you it might be helpful to consider the following thoughts<\/p>

TO FIND NEW CUSTOMERS<\/h4>

The market changes constantly. \u00a0New families in the area mean new customers to reach. People earn more\/less money, which means changes in lifestyles and buying habits. \u00a0The shopper who wouldn\u2019t consider your business a few years ago may be a prime customer now.<\/p>

TO SELL MORE<\/h4>

Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers.\u00a0 Look around, you\u2019ll find the most consistent advertisers are generally the most successful.<\/p>

ADVERTISING PAYS OFF OVER A LONG PERIOD<\/h4>

Advertising gives you a long-term advantage over competitors who cut back or cancel advertising.\u00a0 Advertisers who maintain or expand their advertising over a long period are likely to see their sales increase.<\/p>

A CONTINUOUS PRESENCE<\/h4>

Purchases for many items are infrequent and the decision making process may last some time.\u00a0 Advertising should reach them steadily throughout the process.\u00a0 Your name must be fresh in their minds when they ultimately decide to buy.<\/p>

THERE IS ALWAYS BUSINESS TO GENERATE<\/h4>

Even the slowest days produce sales.\u00a0 As long as you\u2019re in business, you\u2019ve got overheads to meet and new people to reach.\u00a0\u00a0Advertising can generate customers now\u2026 and in the future.<\/p>

YOUR COMPETITORS ARE ADVERTISING<\/h4>

There are only so many customers in the market ready to buy at any one time. You should advertise to keep regular customers and to counterbalance your competitors\u2019 advertising.<\/p>
