By Kerri Stout


It is through advertisements that businesses can determine whether they will fail in their endeavor or if they have a chance of success. After all, advertisements is the life and blood of a business. If you are thinking of using UTK classifieds to market your business, then here are some useful tips that should help you out.

First of all, you have to select the right publication to use for it. It is better for you to pick the best publication to publish your ad because you can get good results out of it instead of using random publications. You have to save money so you have to choose the best publication for your ad. You can avoid waste if you do this too.

You have to examine the classified ads section of that publication you have chosen. You will need to take a close look at it to determine just how large it is and how much it will cost you to publish the same. You will also be looking at who the competitors are in this field, the available categories, and other important details for publication.

Every advertisement should be properly categorized. Thus, you have to find the appropriate category under which you will be posting your ad in. To know the appropriate category you should put your advertisement under, you better pay attention to the category that your competitors put their advertisements under.

When you are writing the ads, you better brainstorm well what headline you will be using. The headline is the part of the ads that will be catching the interest of readers. If you do not make a good impact with the headline, it will make your ads less useful. You should pick a good winner for the headline of your ads.

It is also important that you write a complete sales message regarding the product or the service that you are promoting. To do this, write a lengthy sales message first and cut it down to size. The essential elements should be retained in the final sales message. The essential elements include headline, offer, benefits, call to action, contact information, and others.

When writing the sales message, it is better if you can make use of a telegraphic language. Telegraphic language can be likened to when you are sending cablegrams in he past. The telegraphic language is basically the format that most readers are accustomed with in the classified ads section.

When there is a need to, you should abbreviate. There are words that can be understood easily even when you abbreviate them. Words like business-to-business can be abbreviated to B2B. Even unconventional abbreviations like bklt, to mean booklet, will definitely work out well too.

Do testings. You should write a second ad, either with the same headline or with the same offers. Publish it in the same publication and test which one pulled the most response. Another test to do is publishing the ad in another publication. Doing this will allow you to determine which ad will be the most appropriate for you.
