TEST WHETHER
ADVERTISING
'AYS
In talking recently with a man
who has made a large success as an
advertising salesman in anither
place, this question was asked him:
"When a marchant says it does not
pay to advertise, what do you tell
him?"
"I just ask him this," was the re-
ply. ' What proportion of the popu-
lation of this town has been inside
your store during the past two
months?"
Very few merchants ever claim
• hey have had 10 per cent of the
population. Most of the non-adver-
tisers would be glad to get one per
cent. A lot of them probably get
only a small fraction of one per cent
with any regularity.
"Then I say, how are all the rest
of the people going to know about
your goods? How can they tell
whether it would be for their advan-
tage to patronize you or not? If
you have good values, or special
bargains how do they know about It?
A great many of them farely or
never pass your store. The great ma-
jority that pass give you only a
glance. You are not getting their
business, having done nothing to in-
terest them."
"Then I go on," he continued, "to
say there are just three ways to gel
some of this trade now slipping past
them. They can send around so-
licitors from door to door, distribute
circulars or hand bills, or advertise
in newspapers. The newspaper no-
tice is lead carefully where a so-
licitor is summarily turned down,
and besides the advertising is 20
times cheaper than canvassing. And
hand ^ills are chucked into the waste
baskets, while newspapers are read.
If you don't care to use any of these
methods, I tell them, most any of
the people of this town will continue
to pass you by, without knowing any-
thing about your goods."
These remarks fit here as well as
in the town where they are made. I
A merchant must tell the public
about his goods in order to got I
