Ways To Do Newspaper Marketing

By Eloise Hewitt


A newspaper has given great help to people who wants to be updated on the latest happens in their area or even around the world. But, nowadays, the newspaper is getting replaced by televisions and by social media networks. Because of this, selling newspapers have been difficult for its publishers.

The ways of doing marketing has never been an easy task for the publishers and its editors. The ways on how to do newspaper marketing should be thought carefully. Doing it the right way will make it easy for them to impart news to more readers.

A kiosk can be a great tool for marketing your newspapers. The news stand kiosk should be in a place where there is a lot of people. You can place them in commercial areas like the mall. You can also have some of it at train stations or bus stops. The news stand should have a sign which can easily be seen. If you have kiosks that sell your paper exclusively, why not try painting it with colors that would match your paper. You can provide the salesman with some t shirts with your logo.

Suggest your staff that they should register for an account at social media networks. This is a way to tell others what kind of people your firm employs. Others do not just like to know current events. They also like to get updated on other people. Create one account for your paper wherein others can feel free to ask questions and make comments.

Inside your paper, there must be some section that has testimonials given by your advertisers. The testimonials should describe how the business of your advertiser has been successful since they posted an ad on your newspapers. In this way, more people would be interested on including their ad on your listing.

Other publishers just use fake names to convince people. But, it would be more convincing if you would be featuring real success stories of real people. Feature these as often as you could to help convince others to place their ads too.

Having a contest is another way to do an advertisement. You may organize a contest for story writers from one time to another. Assure your readers that whoever wins will get their stories published. It is not necessary to tell them which of the winning stories you would feature that day so that they will regularly purchase to look for it and read it.

You may ask a favor from the establishments who posted their ads on your papers if you could place you newspaper sign on their establishments. There is a great possibility that they will agree to do it. These establishments also want others to notice their ads which they paid to be posted.

A newspaper is one of the mediums that we use to keep ourselves updated. With advanced technology these days, one can easily browse the internet to read for updates. Making the appropriate steps on promoting your gazette would help you catch up with technology.
