P.T. 巴纳姆:赚钱的艺术·摘录 50

P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资

A French writer says that "The reader of a newspaper does not see the first mention of an ordinary advertisement; the second insertion he sees, but does not read; the third insertion he reads; the fourth insertion, he looks at the price; the fifth insertion, he speaks of it to his wife; the sixth insertion, he is ready to purchase, and the seventh insertion, he purchases." Your object in advertising is to make the public understand what you have got to sell, and if you have not the pluck to keep advertising, until you have imparted that information, all the money you have spent is lost. You are like the fellow who told the gentleman if he would give him ten cents it would save him a dollar. "How can I help you so much with so small a sum?" asked the gentleman in surprise. "I started out this morning (hiccuped the fellow) with the full determination to get drunk, and I have spent my only dollar to accomplish the object, and it has not quite done it. Ten cents worth more of whiskey would just do it, and in this manner I should save the dollar already expended."

白话

广告要反复投放才能见效。有法国作家观察:读者第一次看到广告没注意,第二次看到但不读,第三次才读,第四次看价格,第五次跟妻子提起,第六次准备买,第七次才真正购买。所以做广告的目标是让公众知道你有什么可卖;如果没有胆量一直投到信息传达到位,之前花的钱就全白费了。就像醉汉要十美分:他已花掉仅有的1美元想喝醉却没够,再给十美分买威士忌就能成事,这样那1美元才不算白花。

你正在推广的产品或服务,是否因为投放次数不够而没被目标客户真正记住?
