Scattering Bird-shot.
Did Roosevelt hunt the lions and rhinocerous in Africa
with a rifle or shot gun? He might have taken tons of bird-shot
and scattered it all over Africa, but what big game would he
have bagged?
It is just as true in hunting for big business as in .hunting
for big game—concentrate all force possible and with perfect
aim it is not so difficult to hit the bull’s eye, accomplish results.
Bagging game in advertising cannot be realized until the
advertiser gets two things finally impessed on his mind: First,
do not try to tell about every article in the store in one ad;
second, do not think that'everything must be told about any
article advertised in one ad. The ad should be educational in
tendency, and each point should be elaborated upon specifically
and carefully. Drive home one point at a time even if it is ne-
cessary to devote the entire space set apart for the ad to im-
press convicingly the merit of the artiole upon the people.
The advertiser hits the bull’s eye when he concentrates all
his forces in one point at a time, and speaks to the people in
language that they understand.
The trouble with advertising is the majority of merchants
haye only a partial knowledge of their goods, knowing little
about advertising, less about what to expect from advertising,
and give little thought and time to the preparation of their ads.
It is impossible to write an intelligent ad without an absolute
knowledge of the merits of the article to be advertised, its use
and how it compares with competitive goods.
The skill of the best advertiser is ever worked to the limit
in learning everything about their goods, and in devising the
best way to “play up” selling points in novel advertisements
containing striking contrasts.
