This is a common advertising pitfall you will want to side-step when advertising your business. First of all, keep in mind you are not trying to reach the largest possible demographic. Your advertising should be targeted advertising, and you will need to know who your audience is before placing ads. Another pitfall new advertisers make in an ad campaign is to create an ad that is instantly forgettable. It is better to offend someone (who probably has little or no interest in your business to begin with) than to have an ad that no one can remember. Keep in mind as you create ads to make sure your advertising that stands out and grabs the attention of your target audience immediately. This should be your primary focus. http://advice-and.info/Business/84459_Step_Out_Of_The_Box_When_Advertising_Your_Home_Based_Business.html Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:11:57 GMT
