There are essentially five common 'Newspaper And Magazine Advertising Myths'…
Before I go any further I have a proviso to what I'm about to reveal to you about advertising. Here it is…
Everything I talk about here has one goal: To help you make more money - substantially more, with your marketing, sales, and advertising.
If you're looking for 'pretty' advertising or advertising that looks good without getting you leads and orders then you should look elsewhere.
So when you're reading through these advertising myths and facts, be aware that I'm only talking about newspaper and magazine advertising that makes money - plain and simple!
So let's get started…

Advertising Myth 1: Your ad must first 'look good' before it is placed in any publication
****************************************
Many people (not your prospects by the way!) judge newspaper and magazine advertising on the 'look and feel' of the ad. In fact one of the mysteries of the modern world is having advertising awards for aesthetically appealing ads. That's just plain nuts!
It doesn't matter how good your ad looks. What counts is how much money you made from the ad!
Of course I'm not saying your ad cannot look good. What I'm saying is your number one objective is to get the sale (or at least a response.
Never forsake this goal for creating a good looking ad!
****************************************
Advertising Myth 2: Your company name needs to be prominent in the ad
****************************************
Regardless of how familiar your company or service is to your prospects you should always place your company name at the bottom of the ad. Never ever put your company name at the top of the ad.

Today, the designing and printing of advertising signs has never been easier and the cost has never been cheaper. In my community, code enforcement keeps both the mortgage and the mattress sale signs off of the street corners and fines the perpetrators. That shouldn't be a problem using these two sign ideas.1. Use empty shopping center store fronts to promote your mortgage business. Offer the property manager a great alternative to sometimes months of a vacant, ugly, and unsightly store front windows. Now...we don't want to rent the

Yellow Pages advertising is one of the most popular forms of advertising in the country today. Almost every home in America (96.9%) and business has at least one copy of "the book".Almost three out of five (58%) of all adults say they check the Yellow Pages for a phone number and/or address at least once per week, with 77% using the book monthly.While the Yellow Pages are an excellent reference tool, they fare less well when considered as an advertising medium. People use the Yellow Pages to look for a familiar name.

A lot of systems give you limited flexibility. You get their look and feel with any number of data fields for customization and that’s all. This can really limit your ability to create a seamless experience for your registrants from your website and marketing materials to the registration experience.Therefore, I recommend choosing a system that gives you full control over the look and feel as well as the information you capture during registration.You see, every event is different: maybe you need critical information that's

How many people have worked from nine to five for 40 to 50 years and have nothing to show for it? How much is your time really worth?

Advertising Myth 4: You should use a design agency to create your ads
****************************************
Like all professions there are good and bad design agencies. However only use a design agency that uses 'direct response' advertising principles.
All other design agencies will never get the results you should expect with your newspaper and magazine advertising.
In almost every case you are better equipped to create your own advertising rather than using a design agency.
You'll save thousands of dollars and almost certainly make more money from the advertising you create.
****************************************
Advertising Myth 5: Your ad must not have too much copy (words) and have lots of white space
****************************************
This is the number one mistake people make with their newspaper and magazine advertising.
You cannot ever hope to get a high response to your advertising if you don't give people a reason (or several reasons) to respond. This means that your ad needs to be *FULL* of copy.
Contrary to popular belief an ad crammed full of relevant and benefit written copy always *substantially* wins over an ad without lots of copy.
***
So there you have it. If you want more sales and more success from your newspaper and magazine ads you must step outside the box.
You must break from tradition. You must forget about creating good looking ads. Do this and I promise your sales and profits will soar!
