The ABC and W 2. of ADVERTISING A EKIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVEkTISINU VT-. A written bv Seymour Eeton of Philadelphia i-N O* i Don't let newspaper circulation fool you. The newspaper which has the least power to sell goods usually makes the loudest shout about circulation. Don’t skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers and then stick. When you get things going keep your head. A lineup of canvassers from competitive newspapers will call on you immediately and show you by a process of arithmetic, or it may be of geography, that they can give you twice the circulation at half the price ; that whoever advised you didn't know what he was talking about; that if the paper your advertisement is in actually pays you their newspapers will certainly make you a millionaire. They are all nice fellows and put up good lunches and you like to meet them. Each will tell you that your advertisement is the prettiest thing he ever saw and that your store is a perfect gem. But don't. You can't afford it; at least not unless you have sufficient advertising appropriation to keep copy in all the newspapers continuously. An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. If you advertise your store to a hundred and fifty thousand people you can safely bank on the fact that in due time everybody will hear about you. People have a way of passing along good news. 1 he fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stinAilates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of tens of thousands of people who may be months getting around to make their lirst purchase. You can talk to a hundred and tilty thousand people any day of the week through a metropolitan newspaper and make your talk as personal as you wish. You need not employ an interpreter or use a megaphone. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. Spend thousands a year on rent and electric light and experienced salesmen and then squeeze out a niggardly hundred or two on advertising on telling the people that you have the store and Ute goods and the salesmen, all hanging around waiting. A retail shop that spends $5,000 a year on rent ought at the very lowest estimate spend $10,000 a year on advertising. Your advertising is not a thing apart from your enterprise. It is your enterprise ; a contagion which you yourself create and which, i! thoroughly spread, is as enduring as the everlasting l.iil
