• Uninformed and Unaware People –

In the absence of newspapers or newspaper advertisements, people would have been unaware of the latest products being launched in the market. People tend to purchase items they are made familiar with, but in the absence of newspapers advertisements, most people would not have known about certain products, services, offers, proposals and events in the first place.

In the absence of newspapers, it would not be possible to reach out to the masses. No other advertising medium can beat the reach of newspapers, making newspapers the most effective advertising vehicle known to mankind.

• Limited Advertising Flexibility –

Newspapers allow advertisers immense flexibility with regards to their ad type, matter, design, frequency etc. No other advertising medium would allow such flexibility and options for advertisers to choose from

• Costlier Newspapers –

Newspapers would be costlier if newspaper advertisers did not meet the cost of bringing out the newspapers through funding the newspaper ads. This in turn would have made newspapers less popular among the masses, if they were not able to afford the papers.

• High Advertising Cost –

Newspapers are one of the most pocket friendly forms of advertising. Had newspaper advertising not existed, people would have to resort to other mediums for advertising through expensive mediums like the cinema, television or radio, or even digital media through the use of the internet.

• Slow Advertising –

Newspapers are the fastest means of advertising. Had newspapers not been there, people would have to go for advertising options which deliver their message with a lot of processing delay. Timing plays a crucial role in advertising – if delayed, the advertiser may not be able to reap the benefits of the advertising campaign.

Newspaper reading wouldn’t be as popular. Many people buy newspapers looking out for discount coupons or event details they may be interested in. Hence newspaper advertisements are a major reason why people invest in newspapers, for reasons other than obtaining plain news.
