A Trip Back in Time: How People Talked About Newspaper Ads 10 Years Ago

Newspapers have been there for centuries and so has newspaper advertising. It is after all the oldest kind of advertising long before television and long before today’s internet generation.

It’s been a lot of ups and downs of the ad industry. If today can be considered as the era of digital media 10yrs ago it used to be the era of print media.

Let us go through a memory lane 10yrs ago 2010, the golden era of newspaper advertising.

Unlike today the internet was not so much available for the majority of the Indian population and smartphones were just invented. Back then print media advertising was thriving.

People looking for jobs would buy a newspaper scanning through the recruitment column to find the desired employment opportunities. Office workers would always carry a newspaper with them to read in their daily travel to work. This led advertisers to advertise more than ever in the newspaper. Whether to promote a new product, advertise a retail sale or just simply look for employees.

It’s not like newspapers were not popular media to advertise before 2010. It was, but 2010 was different; it was the golden era of newspaper advertising.

The readership numbers saw a surge and so did the innovations in the advertising. All the innovation advertising seen today in newspapers mostly started in 2010. More and more editions were introduced by each publication to reach every corner of the nation in an attempt to reach more and more readers.

It was also noticed that readers were more likely to respond to an advertisement if it was printed in a newspaper. Newspaper advertising started meaning as a trustworthy source for the advertisement.

Even with such a great image and response, newspaper advertising faced competition from newly introduced digital media which came along the newly introduced smartphones. Allowing users to have access to the internet on the go 24/7 which introduced a new platform for advertising the digital media.

This was threatening although newspapers had the reputation and sophistication it soon became a traditional advertising platform.

But as the newspaper industry is always evolving and adapting to the new age, many had the idea of mixing the two. Like our agency releaseMyAd, brought in a revolution in the newspaper advertising experience. Get adapted to the smartphone generation not forgetting the past. Newspaper advertising still had the highest readership back in 2010 and also the most advertising media. So we allowed advertisers to book their ads simply in 10 mins without going to any local agency but simply by using the internet in their smartphones.

This played a vital part in keeping newspapers thriving even when the new digital medium came into existence.

Other than this e-paper concept introduced by almost all newspapers operating even today has kept the newspaper alive from its golden era 2010 to the present day.

Today even if the physical newspaper is at a downfall seeing not much growth in readership numbers as it did in 2010 this old advertising medium is far from extinction as e-paper readership has been growing each day keeping newspaper advertising alive for decades to come.

Common Mistakes while booking Newspaper Ads

Advertising in a newspaper is easy. But sometimes you might need some assistance. With 3 different types of ad formats and a wide range of categories to choose from, one might get a little overwhelmed about what to do and what not to do.

Here are a few common mistakes one could make while booking a newspaper advertisement.

TAGLINES

While giving an advertisement one might do a lot of thinking as to what tagline would attract its readers. We understand it’s important to have a catchy phrase or an appealing tagline.

But putting too complicated tagline might do your advertisement more harm than good. The audience has to understand what you want to convey. Keeping it simple is the way to go!

USING TOO MUCH CONTENT IN AD MATTER

When you create an ad matter make sure to have the right information. The what, why and where should be properly mentioned. What are you advertising for, why the reader might need it and lastly where they have to go after they see your ad (call of action). Other than this don’t add excess content in your ad just to fill up space or make it look more fuller. A lengthy ad won’t make it more appealing to the audience anyway.

You can refer to the sample ad section while composing your ad on releaseMyAd ‘s website to make this an easy task.

CONTACT DETAILS

Now the most common mistake of all not mentioning your contact details in the ad matter. Suppose you have given an ad to sell your property in Times of India Mumbai. You have mentioned the size of the property, price and even the location. The advertisement gets printed and a reader comes across your ad and luckily was in the search to buy a property in the same location as mentioned in your ad. So this reader is your potential buyer but as you have forgotten to mention any contact details in your ad he is unable to contact you to make a deal and eventually moves on to some other property ad with a contact detail mentioned. Hence, you lost a valuable customer just from a silly mistake.

A contact detail is very important for almost all advertisements except a few given only for a formality like a name change, etc. other than this contact detail is a must in an ad matter. “A newspaper advertisement without contact detail might as well be an article”.

Contact detail can be a phone number, email id or even an address. You can also mention all three of them in your advertisement.

SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY

Keeping your ad matter crisp and to the point is the key to attract your audience’s attention. You must remember you have less than a minute time to be in the vision of the reader’s eye. That’s the time a newspaper reader takes to flip to the next page.

Keep it simple, keep it precise.

DOCUMENTS

Now, most newspaper advertisements can be published without much need of a document but for a few ad types like a name change or an obituary ad, specific documents are needed to be provided to publish such advertisement.

These required documents are mentioned on our website while you compose your advertisement. Even still a few customers forget or overlook such pieces of information while booking the ad. This only delays the processing of your ad to get published. So knowing the documents needed to publish your ad and keeping them ready to be uploaded before booking the advertisement makes the ad booking process easy and proficient.

LESS Is MORE BUT NOT In THIS CASE

You might have heard the term less is more. It might be true about fashion but not so much about a newspaper advertisement. You cannot do a test run of newspaper advertising you have to firm and determined that you want to advertise in the newspaper. Except of course some formality ads, newspaper advertisement has to be done on a regular basis. The more consistently you advertise the better response you will get for your ads.

This might sound expensive but with more than 2000 discounted packages provided by releaseMyAd, this becomes a rather fruitful experience. Not only does it allow you to advertise for a long duration at an affordable discount rate but also a one-time payment is all you need to book your advertisement.
