Iam absolutely amazed by how boring, similar and useless most advertising is.
The waste going on is staggering. Wasted money and wasted opportunity.
You could summarize the structure of most ads from small businesses as follows: Company name, Company logo, A laundry list of services offered, claims of the best quality, best service or best prices, offer of a “free quote”, contact details.
It’s basically a name, rank and serial number.
Then they hope and pray that on the very day their ad runs, a prospect in immediate need of their product or service stumbles across it and takes action. This is what I call marketing by accident.
A qualified prospect happening upon the right ad at the right time sometimes results in the happy accident of a sale taking place.
If these “accidents” never happened, then no one would ever advertise. But as it happens the occasional random sale or lead will come from this type of advertising.
It tortures business owners to death because while the ad generally loses them money, they fear not running it because some dribs and drabs of new business have come out of it—and who knows, next week it may bring in that big sale they’ve been hoping for.
It’s like these businesses are visiting a slot machine in a casino.
They put their money in, pull the handle and hope for a jackpot—but most of the time the house just takes their money.
Occasionally they’ll get a few cents on the dollar back which raises their hopes and emboldens them to continue.
It’s time to start marketing on purpose—treating advertising like a vending machine where the results and value generated are predictable, rather than like a slot machine where the results are random, and the odds are stacked against you.
Great content! Super high-quality! Keep it up! 🙂
