Ways To Do Newspaper Marketing

By Eloise Hewitt


The newspaper has always helped everyone to keep themselves up to date on the happening in their city and in the world. Since news can now be delivered on televisions and in social media networks, the newspaper is almost replaced by the two in conveying news. Publishers have been having a hard time selling their papers since then.

It has been challenging for the publishers and the editors on what steps they have to do for marketing. Before making any newspaper marketing steps, one has to plan it carefully on what steps they have to take in order to market their product. Doing the proper step on marketing would help your gazette relay its news to a lot of readers.

Newsstands or kiosks would be a very useful tool in promoting your paper. Have your news stands situated on places where there is a great amount of traffic or in areas where you are sure there will be people who would pass by. Situate them in commercial places like a mall. Have a few of it set up on train stations and bus stops. Place some attractive and noticeable signs on it. If there are those which only sells your gazette, have them painted with matching colors to your newspaper. Its seller can wear shits with the logo of your paper.

Suggest your staff that they should register for an account at social media networks. This is a way to tell others what kind of people your firm employs. Others do not just like to know current events. They also like to get updated on other people. Create one account for your paper wherein others can feel free to ask questions and make comments.

There should be an area in the gazette that contains testimonies from the advertisers you had. These testimonies should be about how they became successful after posting their ad on your paper. These testimonies would convince other to also have their ad on your list.

Other publishers just use fake names to convince people. But, it would be more convincing if you would be featuring real success stories of real people. Feature these as often as you could to help convince others to place their ads too.

Having a contest is another way to do an advertisement. You may organize a contest for story writers from one time to another. Assure your readers that whoever wins will get their stories published. It is not necessary to tell them which of the winning stories you would feature that day so that they will regularly purchase to look for it and read it.

Make a request to the owners of the firms who have advertised on your papers if you may post your gazette sign around their establishment. They will possibly agree to your request. These firms paid to advertise on your papers so they would also like it if others will notice the ad they have.

A newspaper is one of the mediums that we use to keep ourselves updated. With advanced technology these days, one can easily browse the internet to read for updates. Making the appropriate steps on promoting your gazette would help you catch up with technology.
