Colleges have tremendous circulation of
their bulletins and
newspapers. Their price per run on
advertising is very
inexpensive for the number of prospects
reached. Believe it or
not, multi-millions of dollars are
spent by students each
semester.
If you have a new idea or product, run
a test ad in one or more
of the publications and see if you get
results. Usually a less
expensive 1" ad will let you know
whether your product or
service is going to pull or not. If
your test ad proves
successful, then you may want to go to
a larger ad or even a
display-type ad and increase your
coverage to include more
bulletins and newspapers.
Another way to distribute your product
is to advertise for a
student on campus to represent you on a
commission basis and be
your dealer. Usually there are several
students who would love
to have the opportunity to make some
extra money. A good way to
find
the right person is by resume qualifications or actually
calling them on the phone and talking
it over with them.
Finding the key person could result in
many easy dollars in your
pocket.
In the past, some of the biggest
sellers on campus have been
radio and stereo equipment, music
tapes, car repair manuals,
study aids, self-improvement booklets
and tapes, school fads of
various natures, and any kind of
special or different steins for
drinking beer. Any new idea or product
you may be able to come
up with could be very advantageous to
you in the form of
increased sales.
Advertising in college bulletins and
newspapers gains more
results during the first three days of
the week. When ordering
advertising, it is best to specify that
your ad appear in the
Monday-Wednesday editions. Thursday is
okay, but Friday is
definitely out; minds seem to drift
toward plans for the
weekend, leaving little interest for
purchasing.
Write to the enclosed list of
publications. Ask for their rates
and circulation. All of them will respond to your needs and
many of them will call you and discuss
whatever plans you have
for advertising. They will work with
you to try to see that you
get the most response from any type ad
you may run.
We sincerely hope this report helps you
in gaining sales and is
an
instrument in the growth of your company. You cannot beat
the circulation of prospects reached
for the dollars spent.
Have a good year!
