Advertising in Destination Pine Island
Businesses waste a lot of money on advertising for many reasons, but mostly because they don’t understand basic advertising rules. Don’t buy misleading circulation numbers and don’t buy fancy sales pitches.
Focus on these three questions-
Is this what my potential customers have in their hands?
How long is it in their hands for?
Will they use this to find me?
Shelf Life- Newspapers have their place in society, and they are very good at what
they do, but when was the last time you picked up a newspaper to look at ads? The
shelf life of a newspaper is almost always less than a day, usually less than 2 hours.
Shelf Life is a key feature in paper advertising. DPI has a shelf life of 3 months
and people keep it that long or longer because the information doesn’t get old, and
it doesn’t go bad or expire. Our first goal was to create a paper that ends up in
luggage, something that visitors take home to plan their next trip and to show friends
where they were.
Cost-
Popularity-goers and real estate guides only attract
people looking for real estate. Neither have a long Shelf Life. We custom built DPI
by sitting with tourists and visitors for months and finding out what they wanted
and needed in a guide. The feedback has been great and we add new information to
each issue!
Web Presence-
“The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time.”
Thomas Jefferson
The Bottom Line:
Destination Pine Island
is what people would use to find you
