Help Us Help You!
Here are some the questions you can
ask yourself and discuss with your
advertising consultant to ensure your
advertising has the desired
focus and effect.
• Who are your competitors?
• What is your unique selling point (what makes you different from your competitors)?
• Where are your competitors located?
• Who are your targeted customers?
• Where do your customers come from?
• How are you reaching your customers now? What media
are you using?
c TV
c Cable
c Direct Mail
c Newspaper
c Internet
c Magazine
c Other
• Have you seen a return on your investment with any of the
above medias?
• If so which one and how did you track?
• Have you done a CPM (cost per thousand households
reached analysis) for each of those?
• Do you know the number of households reached and the
zipcode breakdown of the media you purchased? If not
ask your ad consultant for a zipcode breakdown of cities
and counties reached and how many households to use for
analysis. (See next page to learn how to do a CPM analysis)
• What’s your biggest challenge?
• What is your biggest season?
• What are your best-selling products?
• What are your most profitable products?
• What will make people drive to your business?
• When advertising, do you look at it as an expense or an
investment in your business?
• When advertising do you include a bang-for-the-buck
return?
• What is the offer…..What is the value?
• Would you travel to a business for the offer you’re
including in your ad?
Have You Ever Heard the Saying,
“You Get What You Pay For?”
Is cheaper really the best
bang for your buck?
Paper A:
An ad this size is $25 with total
distribution of 1,000 copies.
Cost Per
Thousand:
$25.00
Paper B:
An ad this size is $47.16 with total
distribution of 16,050 copies.
Cost Per Thousand
Households Reached:
$2.94
To Calculate Cost Per Thousand:
Ask for the publication’s circulation and their open
rate. Then use this simple formula to determine the
true cost of reaching your customers.
Open Rate ÷ Circulation in 1000s = Cost Per Thousand
Example: $11.79 ÷ 16.050 = .73 CPM
