  G'day, When it comes to print advertising, there is a lot of naysayers out there. I hear it's dead, no one reads print publications anymore and all sort of other garbage. Has readership gone down? yes,  Have some daily, weekly, monthly newspapers gone out of business? again yes.  I know statistics can be found to say anything you want them to, it's interesting that game informer magazine circulation in 2011 was up by 48.1 %. Yep one example , so what. My point is what age group reads game informer ? , i'm sure you can figure that one out.  There is good print advertising options out there, you just have to hunt them down, look for the good deals. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater as they say. Yes print advertising over all is shrinking, or can I suggest it's correcting to new normal, and that there will always be a niche for the right print publications. So my few suggestions are  1) Clearly define your target customer and find out what they read. 2) Frequency of the ad is more important then the size of ad. Be consistent, your better off spreading your advertising dollar over a longer period to the ideal target customer then trying to media blitz your business or product for a short period of time.  3) People read the headline then a picture caption, make sure you have both. If that doesn't grab their attention then they won't read the rest of your ad.  ( oh and put your business logo or name and contact info at the bottom of the ad , not the top.) 4) Keep it short, sweet and to the point.  5) Pictures Sell ( remember a picture is worth 1000 words )  6) Be sure to include your website. Bob Burg author of the book Endless Referrals says "people do business with, and refer business to, people they like, know and trust".  The right niche print advertising can create TOMA Top of mind awareness for your business and it can do it for far less then a lot of other media.   Take the time to investigate the print media options in your town, you might be surprised at the options.   To use another old saying "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated".    Edward Fox is the owner of Ozefox Marketing  specializing in social media management and training, public speaking on networking and customer service, they also publish a weekly restaurant publication called Coffee News   ...read more

It starts with an idea. The inspiration may be from a childhood memory, a picture, or maybe just a feeling that is created. When a client comes to me with an idea it sometimes takes a while to develop. That original idea has become a life form that can take many different shapes.  My job is to take the creativity provided by my client and turn it into something beautiful. Every person has their own understanding of beauty, form and fashion. It is important work that I can develop that understanding for the client to express themselves.    ...read more

Coupon Text-To-Phone is the new, low-cost option for businesses that wish to promote locally without incurring the expenses of a large direct-mail ad campaign. Rather than printing, coupons are sent to users' phones as text: a digital solution for the modern age. Since users only send coupons they intend to use, there is a high redemption rate. (50% pet text compared to less than 1% per printed coupon.) You pay only for texts used. After your initial start-up cost, you pay only for individual texts that users send through the system, meaning you are only paying for people who intend to use them.  Also, check out- http://wichita.questionfish.com/business-financial/wichita-questionfish-local-search ...read more
