Are you frustrated by the Advertising "game?" We all were. It's not fun or easy to know when or where potential customers are looking for the products and services we as business owners and managers have to offer. They say "advertising doesn't cost, it PAYS" and "they're" right!  IF we hit the mark by our ad being seen or heard on the date and/or time in the place we paid for it to run. Sounds frustrating all right! That's why in 2004 we formed the Wisconsin Towns Small Business Network. Like many who came before us and a few who have come together since, we are a network of business owners letting potential customers know through "word of mouth" (have you heard that one before?), ads on menus, our brochures, the other outside advertising we do separately from the group, and that which we do collectively AS a group, of the products and services available LOCALLY...as has been the case on more than a few occasions, literally right in our backyards!

We would like for you to join us! We've even put together a little promotion to let you "give us a shot." It's called our Spread the Word promotion, and it's valid throughout the month of July, 2008 (a little word for you though....don't wait until the last minute or it's really ugly getting everyone's art and paperwork in on time!).

So, instead of agonizing over which month is typically best to attract new customers, you know, the one's who are Newcomers to the Area, Emergency Shoppers, Disatisfied with your Competition, Infrequent Buyers or Comparision Shoppers, why don't you pick from these options....

Not sure what time during the month is best? How about this...

Isn't this FUN!  Now, you've got an ad all put together, and it looks really nice. You've got all the important factors to put in an effective display ad, such as Reliability  (How long you've been in business. And if you're new, don't worry. Everyone starts somewhere.), the Products or Services you are Authorized to sell, maintain or repair; what areas you Specialize in, the Completeness of your service. And it's all put together with professional looking Illustrations and Copy. Which day or days should your ad run? Are Mondays good?. Or maybe Saturdays are better. Check this out...

Not going with a print ad? Doing some TV or Radio? FANTASTIC! We have too, and by pooling together our resources and advertising as a NETWORK we have had some really good results ("Google" the words "Our Wisconsin Towns," or use "Yahoo" if you'd like, for an idea of how we place). Now, about what time a day do you suppose people who might be interested in what you have to offer are going to be listening or watching that station you picked? Morning or Afternoon? Evening or Night? Hmmmm....

Holy Cats! That's four decisions you've got to make! Got lots of time on your hands? Or, like most of us, do you have about 452 hours of work to get done in a 24-hour day? What if there was an AFFORDABLE and EFFECTIVE way to get all of this taken care of with ONE call? We're partial of course, but we suggest this...
