Success in advertising

There are many small furniture stores owners who want to spend as little as possible on advertising.  They view advertising as an expense rather than an investment. This is understandable when ad dollars are misspent on the wrong media and or ads have low production value so the return on the investment is small.  The problem is unless they advertise effectively they continually lose market share to bigger competitors and the internet.

Defining the target customer, refining the message and the appropriate media is the first step toward success.  Small store owners with low sales growth should refresh their marketing by testing new ideas to find which are successful to generate a better return for their advertising dollar and increase market share.
