Type Of Ad

Is it a commercial ad or a personal one? Are you giving it sell, hire, promote or simply fulfil a formality? Asking these questions already gives you a clear vision of your spendings. Suppose you are launching a new product on the market and want to attract new customers. You have to do newspaper ads on a regular interval, publishing a single will not get the job done. You want to attract the reader’s attention. But giving a display ad is too costly for regular advertising yet classified text won’t be attracting much attention. So you choose a classified display which allows you to attract more reader attention with a colourful picture and also costs you less than a display allowing to advertise more than one time in regular intervals.

But suppose you have changed your name and are asked to give a name change ad in a local newspaper by the court for formality. If you go for a display it will be a waste, a simple classified text ad will be the right investment.

Target Audience

Types of Newspaper Advertisements

For any advertiser, it is really important to understand their requirement for putting up the ad. Before they place the ad in any newspaper, it is really important to figure out the purpose behind putting up the ad, an approximate budget, and what is the tentative feedback expectation. This helps the advertiser to make the advertising process pretty effective. But before anything first an advertiser needs to know about the different formats of Newspaper advertisement to make him/her ad decisions better.

The newspaper advertisements can be divided into three broad types based on :

Content matter
Purpose
Price
Location in the paper
Costing criteria

Let’s start with the types of advertisements to have a better understanding.

Display Advertisements – Display advertisements are premium ads that appear in a newspaper. These ads are the most costly one that is possible to place in a newspaper. There is an absolute reason behind it’s high cost, i.e., These kinds of advertisements allow an advertiser to put up creative content and creativity attracts customers. In the case of Display advertisement, an advertiser puts up the design that includes both text and images along with amazing colors, logotypes, Clip arts, and many more. Thus the purpose of putting up these kinds of ads is gaining more feedback. Generally, these kinds of ads are often placed by Business organizations, Educational Organizations, and Corporate organizations. These ads can be of different sizes and can be located on different pages throughout the newspaper except the Classified page which is dedicated to the Classified Advertisements. It is costed based on the size per sqcm. which varies from paper to paper. Surveys have proved that according to the general human reading behaviour the odd number pages, front page, and the back page acquires most of the attention. Thus, almost all newspapers placing a display ad in these pages cost more than placing it on any other page.

Classified Display Advertisements – Classified Display Ads are almost the same as the display ads. Except for the location in the newspaper. These appear only on the dedicated classified page in all newspapers. It is more visually appealing than classified text ads. Here customized font, color, logo, or image can be added to make the ad visually more effective for the target readers. These ads are charged based on per sq.cm. Generally, classified display ads are placed to communicate with a very specific group of readers which will fulfill both side requirements.

Classified Text Advertisements – Classified Text Ads are the most cost-effective advertisements in any Newspaper. The Ads appear in the classified section in the standard running text format and no creative images, logos, e.t.c are allowed. Thus, it is also known as Run-On-Line ads. Rate is charged per Line/Word/Character basis. Generally, this is not chosen for Obituary and Remembrance ads, because of not allowing any incorporation of pictures.

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.

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.

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.
