You can almost guarantee results from your advertising; it is as much a science as an art.
The first return on investment from your advertising efforts will be an inquiry about your product. It may be to a salesperson in a store, a phone call or an email.
Though it is just an inquiry, you are starting to see a return on your investment. This is the first proof your advertising is working.
But, in either case, it is just an Inquiry for the goods, of one sort or another. It is the first practical evidence that the money spent is earning something tangible in return.
Now it may take twice or three times as much Conviction in Copy to make a Consumer write an Inquiry for goods, and post it, as it would have taken to make that same Consumer inquire verbally for the goods advertised, when passing a store that should sell them.
But, when he does inquire verbally from a Retailer, there are twice or three times as many chances of substitution, of Don't-keep-it Or Here's-something-better. As there would have been if that same Consumer had written direct for it by Mail.
The ad must sufficiently influence the consumer to buy that product or they may go to the retail store and be convinced by the sales clerk to buy the sale item or one in which there is a sales contest. In this case the competition would benefit from our ads. Many proponents of branding, or name recognition are just drawing people into a store to buy substitutes. When Nike started advertising sports sandals Teva's sales more than tripled.
Because, if the Advertisement fails to thus fortify the Consumer with "Reason-Why" and conviction, it may simply send him to the Retail Store to be switched on to a competing line of goods with which the Retailer is heavily stocked, or which his Clerks favor the sale of in preference to ours. In that case the Advertising we pay for would sell goods for our non-advertising competitors. Half the money spent to "Keep-the-Name-before-the-People" results to day in this substitution of non-advertised articles for the articles advertised through General Publicity or branding.
In contrast to general publicity "Reason-Why Advertising" or Salesmanship-on-Paper, ROI is predictable. Consumers need only be convinced 1 time, through "Reason why advertising" or "Salesmanship- on-paper," we thus convince him, and more than fortifying him against substitution.
With reason why advertising they begin using the article with an advance knowledge of, and belief in, its good points, his appreciation becomes permanent if the goods merit it. He therefore makes a second, third, and further consecutive purchases of the article as a result of having once read a single convincing "Reason-Why" advertisement about it.
The consumer will become a regular buyer of the product because he first read or heard about it in a reason why advertisement. Repeat customers are much more profitable than new ones.
He therefore makes a second, third, and further consecutive purchases of the article as a result of having once read a single convincing Reason Why advertisement about it. This is where large and cumulative profits must come to the General Advertiser-on the second, third and continued purchases by Readers of the first advertisement that reached their Convictions.
The difference in Results from Space in which this direct selling force of "Reason-Why" has been used, and in results from similar space filled with "General Publicity," is often more than 60 per cent. Conclusive tests on Copy have clearly proved this, and preceding article cites a vivid example of it from actual experience
