Conveners forthe evening were Mrs. William Humphries, Mrs. Nelson Marks, Mrs. Nelson A question of importance Does. it pay to advertise? Drug ads up 8%, 72.8% advertise survey shows Does it pay to advertise? A growing number of small town druggists think so. In each of the past 2• years, the number of druggists in towns under 10,- 000 0;000 who spent money for news- paper advertising was higher than at anytime in the past. Last year, in fact, although thenumber of such druggists dropped slightly from the pre- vious year, they spent a record high of more than $14 million on newspaper advertising space. New counts just completed by AMERICAN DRUGGIST reveal that, in 1963, there were 17,387 drug stores located in towns with fewer than 10,000 inhabit- ants. Of these, 12,531, or 72.1% ad- vertised in newspapers. This re- presents a small drop from the 12,827 druggists -72.8% of the total in small towns—who ad- vertised in 1962. Sold: That small town drug- gists are, becoming more and more sold on the value of news- paper advertising is evident from the fact that the number of druggists using such advertis- ing dropped a mere 0.8% --ev- en though the rate they paid for the advertising. increased. AMERICAN DRUGGIST'S 10th annual survey of small town publishers, on which all the • findings in this, report are bas- ed, indicates, that the typical small town druggist last year paid for his advertising at the rate of 7.02c per agate line—or about 98c per inch. In 1962, the typical rate was 6.78c per agate line, or about 95c per inch. More Space: In spite of this increase in cost, the typical druggist bought more advertising space last year. In 1963, he bought 14,720 lines, or -1,019 inches of news- paper space to promote his pharmacy and its' products and services to the public. This was 4.5% above the 13,652 lines— or 975 inches—bought in 1962. Complete data from the 1963 survey are presented, in the table oh this page. Evidence: Does a pharmacist who owns the only drug store in town feel that there's no need for him to advertise? Not on+ the evidence of A.D.'s study. It shows that, in those towns which have only one drug store,, 67.4% of these stores neverthe- less advertised regularly. • To some extent, this reflects the belief that advertising will stimulate people to liuy more in a given drug 'store even when there is not much possibility of - losing their business to another store. , • But, it also, of course; reflects the fact that today's small town shopper, with a car at her dis- posal, does not have to limit herself to the stores in her own town. To offset the lures of com- petitors in nearby larger cities, many druggists feel they must advertise even though they are the only druggists in town. ' Lures: Also a factor, evident from analysis,. of the actual ads, is mail-order and house-to-house' competition. Many a small town , druggist's ads are aimed not so much at the lures of a compet- ing store as at offsetting the in- ducements of shopping by cata- logue or in the home. Such ads play up the advant- ages of a local store's broad as- sortments and convenient serv- ices, as compared with the diffi- culties that may be encountered in 'getting satisfactory service from a distant mail-order sup- plier or from an occasional door -bell ringer.
