Which Ad Strategy Is Right for You?.
Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted, Philadelphia department store magnate John Wanamaker was famously quoted as saying. The trouble is I dont know which half.
Wanamakers dilemma remains the bane of advertisers today–especially small-business owners on shoestring budgets. Unlike big-name advertisers like Pepsi, Nike, Apple and Ford, small-businesses cant afford to throw millions of dollars at Super Bowl commercials or glossy magazine ads. Whether your ad budget is $5,000 or $50,000, youve got to make every dollar count.
And that means doing the math to calculate the return on investment on every advertising campaign you run.
Whats ROI? Think of it this way: Lets say you rent a targeted list of 100 dentists in your local zip code and send them each a package containing free samples of your revolutionary new dental floss.more
Attract attention to your adult website through press releases.
The question that needs to be taken into consideration is how to advertise best and what to look for when trying to do it more efficiently.
Press releases work well both in the business-to-business world and in the business-to-consumer realm. You don”t need to spend hundreds of dollars to keep partners, affiliates, and the general public abreast of your new business developments. Written correctly, press releases can be even more effective than banners and text links because they tell more about your company and products/services you offer.

Advertising set for superintendent.
FRANCISVILLE - West Feliciana Parish School Board members voted Tuesday to begin advertising in late September and October for applications for school superintendent.
The board set Dec. 18 as the deadline for candidates to apply and said it will conduct interviews in January and February and make a decision in March.
Jesse L. Perkins Jr. has been serving as interim superintendent since the death of 16-year veteran Lloyd L. Lindsey Jr. on April 15.
Perkins, who had planned to retire, has agreed to stay until a successor is found.
Former board member Conville Lemoine, who is assisting in the search, asked member Amanda McKinney to help draw up the advertisements to highlight the school system’s accomplishments and to stress the board is looking for top-notch applicants.more
Signs for the times.
Chances are, you”ve seen Xenia Pacifica”s work around the Pass area: from billboards advertising Mt. San Jacinto College to the banners that promote Banning”s Cool Summer Nites, the Banning company has its work cut out for it.At the shop, owner Oleg Ivaschuk has all the computer, laminating and silk screening equipment, along with his own industrial sewing machine and on-location photo shoot to create any advertising medium, from signs on Banning Chamber of Commerce-sponsored bus benches and kiosks to vehicle wraps like one promoting the Beaumont company ‘Just Like Grass’ on its company”s Prius.’The major difference between Xenia and others like it, is that we own all of our own materials, whereas a lot of similar companies subcontract out,’ Ivaschuk said. ‘We do everything here on the premises.’While ‘we”re not a sign shop, we will do signs,’ he said everything from real estate and political signs to promotional T-shirts justifies Xenia as an advertising company.more
Analysis: Thesis is a break, if Deeds can use it.
Advertising attacks and counterattacks, just getting started, will soon dominate television screens.
Both sides” budgets to pursue their ad blitzkriegs through Election Day will be virtually unlimited, a reflection of the high national stakes the election represents.
The Democratic Governors Association invested $3.5 million into attacks on McDonnell last spring, and the Democratic National Committee, headed by Gov. Tim Kaine, last week pledged at least $5 million for Deeds and the Democratic ticket. That doesn”t count campaign appearances for Deeds with President Barack Obama.
The Republican Governors Association plowed $2.5 million into the PAC running the ads against Deeds and gave McDonnell $1 million in March. But all of that combined is only about half as much as the Republican National Committee plans to throw behind McDonnell and the GOP this fall.more
