Value of Prices in Ads
The purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Goods can be
sold through advertising by giving a clear and concise descrip-
tion to arouse the interest of the reader in the goods. Then
after the reader has become favorably impressed with the goods
give the price, as that is a vital factor in convincing the pros-
pect.
Every person is more or less interested in the price of
goods. Carefully compiled statistics show that over 75 per cent
of the people of the United States live on a salary of $1200 or
less per year. It is very evident that most of the people in the
United States must be economical. They must be saving and
careful in their expenditures, and they are careful. They
count the dollars, and when they read an advertisement in the
paper they want to know the selling price of the goods so as to
do some figuring of their own.
Someone has said that “money talks.” That is true, and
lowering the price of goods is always a most effective selling
argument. Whether the advertiser lowers the prioe or not he
Bhould never omit the price of the separata items he describes,
unless possibly the advertising space at his disposal does not
permit him to describe specifically so the reader can thoroughly
understand the merits of the articles. In this latter case it is
frequently customary to reserve the price for the catalogue
which is sent out on inquiry, or until the customer visits the
store.
It is generally better to state the price after giving a care-
ful and concise statement of the goods. If the price is a real
inducement it serves as a climax.
Good headlines and illustrations to attract attention and
secure interest, good description to interest and oonviot, ac-
companied by the prioe of the article make an ad that is hard
to beat.
