Even in print advertising choices alone, there are tons of options. With so many options, how do you know which one is right for you? Not all options reach as many people, are as effective or even get the results you are looking for.
One of the most noted ways of advertising is through a local newspaper. This is a technique that was heavily relied on in the past but as technology has grown, more avenues have been opened. Unfortunately, there are not many people that refer to a newspaper anymore when they are looking for sales, information or good deals. Many will just turn to the computer or reference things as they are walking or driving around their local area.
As a business, you also need to consider your budget. Do you have a lot of money to spend with advertising that might or might not work? If not, here are some advertising choices to consider that will not break the bank.
Vinyl banner: a vinyl banner can be as large or as small as you want it. You can get vinyl banners customized or order them premade and are one of the most inexpensive yet most effective advertising methods a business can use. Many businesses rely on banners as a large part of their advertising campaign.
Sidewalk signs: Catch people's attention when they are walking or driving by. This works especially good for those businesses that rely on walk in business.
Gator board and Foam board signs: Although these are not as durable as a vinyl banner, they can also be used outside but should be taken in every day or in the event there is bad weather. You could also team up with partners and display a gator board sign in their shop in exchange for doing something for them.
The business advertising choice is yours but do not discount the more budget friendly advertising methods because often times they are the most effective.
