How advertising helps your business

You advertise primarily to sell a product, a service or an idea. Your advertisement need not win awards for having the best copy, layout, or use of color, and they are not published just to amuse or instruct. Advertisements must sell. However, this rule is somewhat vague. The following will outline the specific ways in which advertisements will help you sell.

• Advertisements may support your sales staff. You run advertisements to prepare customers for your sales staff, so that they are not in the dark about your product or service when the customer is introduced to it. This may reduce time on the part of your sales staff and it will definitely help to keep your business name and products or services in the customers' focus.

• Advertisements may reach people that sales staff cannot reach. Often sales staff cannot access top executives and professionals, but the chances are that these people may see your advertisement.

• Advertisements improve dealer relationships. If you are in manufacturing you may run your advertisements in trade journals or on websites related to that specific trade, informing dealers how profitable it is to carry your line, plus you can always inform consumers from which dealers they can purchase your products or service.

• Advertisements may counteract prejudice or prevent substitution. If a competitor sells something that closely resembles your product or service, your advertisement may stress the superiority of your line. Or if your product or service has somehow developed a poor reputation, you may counteract it by advertising that you are now offering service or money back guarantees, or even refunds on defective products or service.

• Advertising increases your sales. You may advertise to increase the frequency of replacement or upgrade of your product, increase the variety of the product or service or even increase the standard quantity per purchase.

• Advertisements may also describe new products and new services. Offer a new product, or cut the price on existing ones and advertising this information will be one of the fastest ways of making this known.
