How to design a newspaper ad?

Designing is very important for marketing. It is similarly a very important part of the Advertising process. Experts say that spending money, time, and effort for designing never gets wasted. It always gets you expected feedback if done properly. As the days passing by designing is becoming a more integral part of the communication process. 

Following the new trends of newspaper advertisement, whether it is a print ad or it is an audiovisual ad, content is playing a major role. It is getting used as a weapon to attract more viewers and turn their minds. Also, effective planning and designing of Ad content proved to be a successful instrument for increasing the number of potential consumers and their brand loyalty. Thus, the content has become that one major factor using which every company is fighting to get distinguished and stand outside the box.

Nowadays, advertising is not just filling up facts in the ad spaces. It is more of the content with which your readers will be able to connect. For eg: I hope most of us have seen the print ad of Fevicol which was showing the Jai-Veeru Jodi of famous Indian Movie “Sholay”. To Indians, this Jodi is everlasting and unbreakable and that is exactly the concept that Fevicol used to promote its product as the strongest adhesive in the market. 

Maybe this is why after the existence of so many other dairy companies, Amul is the Best known in India. It never fails to come up with new ad illustrations in case any happening in the society, be it Narendra Modi getting elected as the president or be it Sachin Tendulkar scoring a century.

Designing is just not creating a graphic using colors, texts, and logos. Even in the case of Classified advertisements as well it is really important to design your texts properly. Your text arrangement should be short, crisp, and apt. to pass a clear message to the readers. Texts will obviously vary from category to category but the arrangement must be effective based on that. Inclusion of proper details as in mobile number, Qualification, e.t.c. can make the advertisement effective. If the ad is booked through releaseMyAd you can get complete assistance for forming an effective text ad.

Advertise on Newspapers

Selecting the wrong category

The newspaper often tends to give you several categories as well as a subcategory to choose from while putting out an advertisement. this one hand gives you more options to choose from making you select category closer to your ad matter making it more relevant but on the other hand, it can make you overwhelmed with options more than needed which as a result makes you choose the wrong category or subcategory for your ad matter.

This affects your response as well as may delay your publishing due to the wrong selection.

  • Forgetting to attach documents

Not all but a few types of advertisements require proper documents to be attached and upload along with your ad while booking the ad online. This leads to a lot of advertisers forget to do so. As a result, it delays the publishing of the advertisement for the time being and gets processed after the documents are provided.

  • Contact details

Now let’s come to the most common mistake done by advertisers again & again. Forgetting to give contact details in your ad matter. Any advertisement is given without a contact detail information simply leads to wastage of your money invested in the advertisement.

Identifying the Relevant Factors in Newspaper Advertising Effectiveness

The proper effectiveness of any affair shows the required results. Thus, it is relentlessly tried by one and all to make their activities enough effective to show the change. But effectiveness doesn’t come easily. It is very important to identify the relevant factors that bring effectiveness to a job done. There are very few things that can change the design of the plate and make it effectively stand out of the box, but only if identified efficiently.

Similarly, it is very important for you, being an advertiser, to identify and utilize the relevant factors that can boost up your newspaper ad‘s effectiveness. Despite being any chosen format, three things can make your ad far more effective than before. They are :

  • Effective Content
  • Effective Newspaper
  • Effective Positioning of the ad in the paper.
Ads on Paper

Firstly, having effective content is important to attract readers. If you have a clear understanding of what your requirements are, that you want back from the advertisement, then make the message clear to guide your readers until the fulfilment of your requirements. The ad space booked by you is all yours. In the case of Display and Classified Display, play with pictures, colours, texts, e.t.c to make the design pass the message and help your readers connect to it. Whereas, in the case of Classified Text ads, Text is the only power that you have. To make your ad stand out, use enhancements, such as Colour Box, Ticks, Bullets, e.t.c to make your ad visibility more. Also, make your ad’s text matter composition as effective as possible.

Newspaper Classified Ads

Secondly, Selecting the correct newspaper can make a lot of difference in the case of the reach and feedback of the advertisement. A newspaper can be chosen based on the type or category of advertisement, target groups’ geographical area, and the circulation figure of the newspaper. 

Thirdly, Publishing ads on the correct days helps to get the attention of the exact target group. Different newspapers have different focus days for different categories like Business line has focus days for recruitment ads for all days except Sunday, whereas, Times Of India has focus days for recruitment on Wednesday and Sunday. These focus days are selected after surveying the readers’ behaviour intensely. Thus, you can get the maximum readership if your ad is published on focus days.

National vs Local Newspaper Advertising: Which Is Best?

News is always required so as newspapers. There are more than 100 newspaper publishers whose publication gets circulated daily. Some lead the market with very high circulation and some maintain a subtle number but the news story which is written in the newspaper is important irrespective of the publication. News stories are not something that differentiates between the newspapers, though the writing quality of a news story can. But something else that majorly differentiates between publications is the covered area by circulation. 

The newspapers that get circulated only in one city or state or maybe a very small region, is considered as a local newspaper by it’s readers. Whereas some newspapers have it’s circulation in most of the parts of the nation. Those are considered as the national newspapers by the citizens of the country. The best National newspaper that is leading the market currently is the Times of India. And some examples of regional newspapers are Anandabazar Patrika, Sambad, Gujrat Samachar, Sakshi, e.t.c.

It is really very hard to say which one is more effective. Because if National newspapers are highly circulated then local newspapers are more cost-effective. If National newspapers have specific language restrictions, then local newspapers are easier for the local people to understand because of it’s language. Both the papers are having some pros and cons. Thus, it will be really a weak way to decide on the paper considering whether it is national or regional.

The best thing is to decide the demographic and geographic requirements and then choose the paper based on that. Analyzing your ad purpose and content, and setting up feedback expectation can help you to make a better ad decision. If your requirements are high circulation or if you want to put up your ad in a language that is understandable nationwide, you should go for national newspapers.

In case your main focus is to get the message through the local people in your area, and that too in a very cost-effective way. It’s best to choose a vernacular language local newspaper.

Advertisers often prefer Local papers for Classified ads and national papers for Display Ads. But there is no such preferred rule or regular record. Classified ads also have been placed in national papers for better feedback and displays have been placed in local newspapers when based on the target group’s geographical area.
