Reach: No other advertising vehicle has the reach of newspapers. Nationally, 104 million adults read a newspaper on an average weekday and more than 115 million on an average Sunday. More than three out of four (75.2%) read a newspaper or visit a newspaper website in an average week (Scarborough Research). 2, Quality: Your very best prospects are newspaper readers, People who are typically labeled upscale meaning upper income, higher education, professional! managerial occupations all count themselves as newspaper readers. In 2008, 82.5%of adults with $100,000 or more income read a newspaper or visited a newspaper website in the past week, as did 82.8% of college graduates and 81% of those employed in professions or in management roles. 3. Targeted: From targeting ad placement by section readership to post it notes, to a few residential blocks, newspapers can fine tun your message. 4, Immediate: Newspaper advertising is among the fastest forms of advertising with extremely short deadlines that allow ads to be created and run in a matter of days. 5. Flexibility: Newspapers, unlike most other media allow the advertiser to build an ad in any size. 6, Credibility/Trust: More than any other medium, consumers believe in newspaper advertising, Forty percent of adults surveyed find newspapers are trustworthy or believable, a large gap when compared to television (23 percent), radio (18 percent) or the Internet (16 percent). (2006 Scarborough Engagement Study). THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Advertise Today! PHOTO SUBMIT 7. Selective vs. intrusive: Shoppers are less willing today to accept advertising that is spooned out to them. They seek out advertising on their own. Newspapers are the medium shoppers use most for shopping in an average week. Nearly six in 10 (59%) use newspapers, exceeding others like television (38%), ad appearing in search engines (18%) or ads on general interest websites (15%) (MORI Research 2009), 8, Environment: The newspaper editorial environment typically adds credibility and legitimacy to the brand being advertised. To readers, the advertising in a newspaper is every bit as important as the news. 9, Relied Upon: Newspaper advertising is a valuable commodity to readers. A recent research study surveyed shoppers attitudes about which type of media they preferred for retail advertising. In terms of media used to check out ads, the most valuable media in planning shopping, used for comparing prices, most convenient, most up to date, most trustworthy, believable and preferred, newspapers out distance all other forms combined. 10. Results: Newspaper advertising works! While this point should go without saying, the fact remains -_ that newspapers are frequently thought of as a results medium. Newspaper ads create traffic, move merchandise and yes, establish brands. We cannot lose track of the notion that, in a world of thousands of messages a day, advertising in newspapers are one sur thing when it comes to producing results. ; Research Scarborough 2008 How America Shops and Spends/ MORI Research 2009 Newspaper advertising.
