50 COLLEGE PAPERS TO ADVERTISE IN

   

Colleges have tremendous circulation of their bulletins and

newspapers. Their price per run on advertising is very

inexpensive for the number of prospects reached. Believe it or

not, multi-millions of dollars are spent by students each

semester.

 

If you have a new idea or product, run a test ad in one or more

of the publications and see if you get results. Usually a less

expensive 1″ ad will let you know whether your product or

service is going to pull or not. If your test ad proves

successful, then you may want to go to a larger ad or even a

display-type ad and increase your coverage to include more

bulletins and newspapers.

 

Another way to distribute your product is to advertise for a

student on campus to represent you on a commission basis and  be

your dealer. Usually there are several students who would love

to have the opportunity to make some extra money. A good way to

find  the right person is by resume qualifications or actually

calling them on the phone and talking it over with them.

Finding the key person could result in many easy dollars in your

pocket.

 

In the past, some of the biggest sellers on campus have been

radio and stereo equipment, music tapes, car repair manuals,

study aids, self-improvement booklets and tapes, school fads of

various natures, and any kind of special or different steins for

drinking beer. Any new idea or product you may be able to come

up with could be very advantageous to you in the form of

increased sales.

 

Advertising in college bulletins and newspapers gains more

results during the first three days of the week. When ordering

advertising, it is best to specify that your ad appear in the

Monday-Wednesday editions. Thursday is okay, but Friday is

definitely out; minds seem to drift toward plans for the

weekend, leaving little interest for purchasing.

 

Write to the enclosed list of publications. Ask for their rates

and circulation. All  of them will respond to your needs and

many of them will call you and discuss whatever plans you have

for advertising. They will work with you to try to see that you

get the most response from any type ad you may run.

 

We sincerely hope this report helps you in gaining sales and  is

an  instrument in the growth of your company. You cannot beat

the circulation of prospects  reached  for  the dollars spent.

Have a good year!
