Additional Marketing Help.....

[doged]

More help from Mr. Arrogant!!!

I saw a ad placed by my competitor ( a detailer that’s “trying� to compete� against me)

Now they paid about $700 per ad and did three of them. This is what the ad consisted of in it’s (body). Class is in!!!



What’s the problem with this ad and what should it’s body consist of?

First off, they didn`t group it well. Under interior detailing they should have had `odor removal` and `3M Scotchgard` and under exterior detailing `overspray and waterspot removal`.



Including the products used is a good idea, however, I am not sure how many people are really aware of 3M detailing products.



No website? Including a web address is a great way to get more information and pictures to potential customers.

Based on the way you have it written it does not make much sense. He should have included a discount coupon or something to motivate people. I also doubt he is the exclusive distributor of 3M detail products. A glaze is durable? The ad just does not jive. Anyways, what is the correct answer?

Yes, this could of been a improvement.

Contrary to popular beliefs detailing products have nothing to do with advertising and the “general public�, unless your selling them to a detailer, It’s a waste of precious space unless your selling detailing products!!! Even if your marketing car clubs, to many variables with product. You want them to call you first then explain.........



Scottwax;No website? Including a web address is a great way to get more information and pictures to potential clients.



Yes it could help but I like to speak to first time clients about detailing. This competitor has no web page.



Yes Brad !!! The most important part of adverting is the call to action, they have none.

Notice; they are not mobile but offer a pick-up and delivery, but no address???

Actually, there is a lot more missing from that ad than just a call to action. It does very little in regard to meeting the seven basic components of a good print advertisement.



1– Stop the prospect.

2– Hold the prospect.

3– Create buying desire.

4– Prove the price is right.

5– Prove it is a value.

6– Make it easy to take action.

7– Give the prospect reasons to take action now.

I did not volunteer for anything. You asked a question and I answered it.

OK. Come on Frank? You must be really good at this since you sell marketing information?

One key to effective marketing is to use accurate and correct grammar, as doing otherwise makes most educated buyers look elsewhere.



For instance, using phrases like "Common" instead of "Come on" makes you less appealing to your typical target market.

Better yet, explain how all those seven things can be accomplished in an ad without making it too complicated.
