Your market changes
constantly. New families move into your business area every day. People
earn more money, which means changes in lifestyles and buying habits.
The shopper who wouldn't consider your business a few years ago may be a
prime customer now. Remember...approximately 20% of families will move
this year. Millions of people will be married and babies will be born.
Be the First to Reach the New Mover, New Mother,
Father, Grandparent or Newlywed.
Shoppers don't have the store loyalty they once did.
You must advertise to keep pace with your competition. The National
Retail Merchants Association states: "Mobility and non-loyalty are
rampant. Stores must promote to get former customers to return and to
seek new ones".
Many people take their time with the buying process.
They compare prices, quality and service. Your Advertising must reach
them steadily through the entire decision-making process. Your name must
be fresh in their minds when they ultimately decide to buy.
Not every consumer in the market is ready to buy at the same time. You
must advertise to keep your regular customers and to counterbalance the
advertising of your competition. It is important to advertise to keep
your share of customers or you will lose them to the more aggressive
competitors.
Advertising gives you a long-term advantage over
competitors who cut back or cancel advertising. Did you know that a
five-year survey of more than 3,000 companies found...Advertisers who
maintain or expand advertising over a five-year period see their sales
increase an average of 100%? As opposed to the companies, which cut
advertising, averaged sales decreases of 45%?
The first step toward sales increases and expanding
your base of shoppers is Continuous store traffic. The more people who
come into the store, the more possibilities you have to make sales and
sell additional merchandise. An NRMA survey shows for every 100 items
that shoppers plan to buy, they make 30 unanticipated "in the store"
purchases.
Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady
advertisers. Look around. You'll find the most aggressive and consistent
advertisers are almost invariably the most successful. Advertising
works! Advertising can generate customers now...and in the future.
In a competitive market, rumors and bad news travel
fast. Advertising corrects misleading gossip, punctures "overstated" bad
news. Advertising that is vigorous and positive can bring shoppers into
the marketplace, regardless of the economy.
