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.

Newspaper Ads

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.

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. 

Ads in Paper

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.

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.
