That takes into account the postage. plus. the paper and] the envelope, etc. - Bulk mail flyers are a little cheaper. We bulk mail on a • regular basis to the business community in our area.' There are 1.100 businesses in the area. Printing 1,100'. flyers (not Counting creating the artwork ):costs us About five cents each. That amounts to fifty-five dollars. The bulk mail postage costs us 11.5 cents per flyer. That works.out to a.total of 16.5 cents per.flyer delivered. The cost of door to door solicitation isn't reflected in money but in time, your time. What is that worth? Suppose your time is worth sixty dollars an hour -and in an hour you could hand deliver 300 flyers. That means the cost per flyer. delivered is 20 cents. The cheapest way of putting your marketing message in front of the largest number • of potential customers is through newspapers. That's the main reason 839E of all local advertising goes into newspapers. Suppose the local paper had a circulation of 8,000 and you bought advertising space that was worth 5125.00. If you divide the cost of the ad by the circulation, you get what the industry call Cost per Thousand (CPM). in this case the CPM is 60.0156 or one and a half cents per hit. If you consider that an aver- age of two people per house- hold read the paper then the actual cost per hit can be as low as three quarters of a cent per.hit. No other deli%- ery system for yourmarket- ing message,can compete with the paper when the measurement is based on how many people receive yourmessage. Even radio can't compete in' the area of CPM because there is no way to tell defini- tively how many people. are listening at any given time. Certainly spot marketing surveys can define how many were listening at a specific point in time but that doesn't mean the same number arc always listening. Do these facts and figures mean you should only adver- tise in the newspaper' Absolutely not. They tell us that the biggest bang for agar buck is achieved 't(trough newspaper advertis- ing.' If you have a modest advertising budget then use • the newspaper..lf you have a larger budget you should use newspapers 'as the primary delivery source of your mes- sage and compliment it with the secondary sources that • work for you. • Choose the delivery system with logic but remember the key is the quality of your message.
