So you've decided to run a print ad in your local newspaper. The paper may have even told you they could produce the artwork for you if you just tell them what should be in the ad. Problem is, you're not sure what should be in the ad.

The first thing you need to do is answer the following question: What is your objective for the ad? You need to know what result you expect the ad to accomplish in order to determine what needs to go into the ad.

Once you determine your objective (e.g. I want them to visit my store; I want them to call me for more information; I want them to take advantage of my promotion) you can decide what needs to be in the ad to successfully convince them to take this action. The problem I see with most ads is they lack focus. There is too much information and too much going on in the ad for the reader to be able to clearly understand the primary message the advertiser is trying to impart.

Your goal should be to impart one SINGLE message. And that message should support your objective. Keep your ad simple and to the point. You can be creative, but make sure the reader clearly understands what you are selling, what you want them to do, and several ways they can take action (e.g. call, visit your store, visit your web site, email).

4. The Art of the Business Card By Bette Daoust, Ph.D.
Use a business card as a note pad for recording important information.I am sometimes asked why I make such use of business cards. My reply is that they are easy to transport and I do not need an extra envelope. I particularly make use of others’ business cards for taking notes on our conversation. I am one of the worst when I get home and cannot remember who Gary from XYZ is and what he does that will make a good connection. Write it down right…
