The Easy Way Out
filed in Marketing, Storytelling, Strategy
A $6000 full page advert in a magazine with a readership of 200,000 people might feel like a bargain. All those eyeballs connected to all those credit cards just waiting to discover you.
Now all the advert must do is convince people to pick up the phone.

What if the shortcut (the billboard or magazine advert) is not the easy way out at all?
How much goodwill could you create with just 10% of your advertising budget amongst the customers you already have?
