Tips for newspaper advertising: 

The main motive of publishing an advertisement is drawing the attention of the reader and making them aware of the business information and lastly convincing them to avail or purchase the product or service. To get the best possible response one has to follow certain tips and tricks.

Advertising on Newspapers

Firstly, you have to choose the newspaper wisely according to the region, circulation and readership. For example, if you want to publish a matrimonial ad in Kolkata then the best newspaper will be Anandabazar Patrika for that as it has the highest readership rate in West Bengal.

You have to choose the appropriate date in order to get the maximum response. For eg; Publishing a recruitment ad on Saturday will be more effective than any other day. 

Many publications publish different pullouts in respect of category. For eg, Times of India publish their property pullout on Friday in Bangalore. So choosing release dates according to all these aspects will help to get the maximum output from an advertisement.

Composing ad matter is the most important job in terms of the effectiveness of the published advertisement. It is very important to maintain proper space, punctuation and spelling for generating a sense of authenticity, dependency among readers. In case of matrimonial ads, it is very necessary to mention age,  height, educational qualification or professional details and sharing if any special preferences are there like divorcee, non-divorcee, separated, NRI, physical disabilities and medical conditions etc.

While composing a name change ad, one must keep in mind to clearly mention the old name and new name in the matter. 

In the Obituary and remembrance ad do not forget to mention the name and date of death of the deceased person and strictly not mention the reason of the death because that is not acceptable in most of the publication.

While composing an ad matter, the most common mistake people make is they skip mentioning their contact details. It is very important to mention that for obvious reasons otherwise, people won’t be able to contact you for business reasons. 

Examples of newspaper advertising: 

Here I am listing few examples of newspaper ads for better understanding-

  • Matrimonial

As well as many people till now are not internet savvy so they find themselves comfortable with traditional ways of advertising.

The most important use of the traditional procedure of newspaper ad bookings is that categories like change of name, lost & found, Obituary advertisement is mandatory to be printed on newspapers & are not accepted in Online advertisement. 

And there are still many people who have a habit of reading newspapers every morning with bed tea so they will not depend on online advertisement.

Suppose even if the advertiser is from young generation knowing all the advantages of online booking but still they might not prefer online booking process over traditional process of advertisement, the main reason behind this is trust issue as they cannot see the online ad booking agency physically they might not trust them with their money to publish an ad.

Lastly, Some online Ad booking website provides instructions which seems too simple & easy to follow but for many advertisers who are willing to place an ad finds it complicated sometimes they might take help from customer care executive over a call or chat for assistance but even through after all the guidance provided they have to finish the Ad booking procedure mostly on their own which leads to drop the idea of online ad booking.

So after considering all the above points, it suggests In the age of digital media platforms, Newspapers would lose its charm to some extent. But this traditional advertising platform relevantly holds the position as the No. 1 choice among advertisers there.
