All our ad campaigns
are designed for multiple use. These ads may be used in yellow-pages,
magazines, newspaper, direct mail campaigns, even billboards. There
is no limit to the use of these ads. Ads designed to promote a specific
topic can be changed to cover a different topic by changing the
copy. Your newspaper representative can make any copy changes you
deem necessary and strip them over the existing copy. This is simple
process in which the changes are typeset on another piece of paper
and stripped or waxed over the existing copy. Your newspaper representative
should be able to match type sizes and styles.
This is the most flexible ad campaign you will encounter.
When purchased, the ads belong to you in perpetuity and you may
make any necessary changes to adapt the ads to your practice. Any
and all copy (written material) may be changed or re-written. If
you like the graphics from one ad, but are unhappy with the copy,
the change can be made by simply informing your newspaper or magazine
representative or printer. Also, the layout of the ads can be adjusted
to a horizontal or vertical ad based on placement of photo. If you
prefer, Creative Concepts Group, Inc. will make any changes in copy.
The charge per ad for a single change is $30.00.
Your print ads were
designed for newspaper Your print ads were designed for newspaper
insertion at 65 line screen (ls) and can be reduced or enlarged
by 10% without distortion. If your newspaper format is 85 line screen,
reduce your ad to 75% or original size, dot for dot. If the ads
are being placed in a city magazine or direct mail piece, they can
be reduced up to 50% without distortion. In fact, we recommend the
larger ads be reduced dot for dot, 50% to 130 ls format for direct
placement in magazine or for use in any high resolution (100-150
line screen) printed materials other than newspaper format. Ask
your newspaper representative about contract rates for placing your
advertising. Also, inquire about special sections of the paper that
relate to the services you provide. Many papers have special health
issues or life-styles sections that would increase your visibility.
Generally, Business and Travel & Leisure sections of the newspapers
have greater spot readership than other sections and target a higher
income, more sophisticated reader.
Any of the graphics
or photographs Any of the graphics or photographs from our ads can
be adapted for use in yellow-page ads. We don't recommend placing
ads larger than 1/4 page. Yellow-page ads are expensive. A 1/4 page
ad done well can pull as many new clients as a full page. Better
to commit to a 1/4 page or smaller and spend the saving on additional
newspaper or direct mail advertising . . . generally, you only look
in the Yellow Pages when you have a specific need, not frequently
or every day. With each ad you purchase you will receive a matching
poster. These posters are perfect to hang in your office or waiting
room. The posters augment your advertising by providing a visual
stimulus in the office. Each time your patients see the posters
they will be more apt to recognize your newspaper, magazine or direct
mail advertising. In addition, the posters educate your patients
about the many services your office provides. The key to successful
ad placement is consistency. Placing an ad just once is like throwing
your money away. For best results, a minimum of 4 to 6 consecutive
ad placements is required. If you have more than one ad to choose
from, don't run a different ad each week. Instead run the same ad
several weeks in a row before switching. The consumer needs to see
the same ad several times before the message is received.
