Name Recognition And Image Advertising Do Not Make Telephones Ring!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Growing up, we were aware of certain brands and images that evoke, in some cases, nostalgia. We can all image dreamy days on a summer beach reaching for a cold drink from our COKE Cooler – it was red and had a white bottle cap on it. Tony the Tiger served our morning breakfast to many of us. Hertz was guiding our parents into the drivers seat of a new rental car. These were big companies with big advertising budgets. We knew their names, recognized their logos and we responded accordingly. Unfortunately, not every business is able to make it on Image Advertising.

Arouse Emotions – Does Your Advertising Do This?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

On a daily basis, we are exposed, if not bombarded by, messages and advertisements trying to compel us, and convince us to purchase. The result of all of this exposure is that we become resistant and sometimes immune to advertising messages surrounding us. When we watch the news, listen to the radio, read newspapers or magazines; no matter what form of media, we pay attention to only those things that are of interest to us in our own daily lives. We ignore, and throw out entire sections of a newspaper; we watch only certain portions of television shows, and we either peruse carefully, or throw out the Sports Page depending on our preferences. We have been forced to become selective. Given all of this conditioning the chances of peaking anyone’s advertising interest might seem small. But there are techniques available, that are effective and successful.

Voicemail Broadcasting Providers – Choosing the Right One

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

A well-known technological tool that can help you grow your business, is Voice Broadcasting. You begin with a database of telephone numbers of current contacts. Next, you create a short, but compelling message that you want to leave them. Your message is recorded using a regular phone. Next, you email your list of recipients to a company that provides Voice Broadcasting services, and then your message gets sent to the list of numbers you provided. Your message is sent during a specific time of the day, at a time when your prospects are least likely to answer your call, and it will go to voice mail.
