How to Reach the Buyers
First, here's something not to do: advertise in magazines that appeal to the target audience. Although members of this audience might subscribe to printed publications, they don't have much time to read them. And often, they're mobile — away from the office or traveling to distant cities. They don't want to carry the extra load of printed material. If you do want to advertise, send them postcards or advertise on line.
Postcards have two goals. First, if they're colorful, clever and have a low density of text, they will be read. And that's the first goal: to be read. The second goal of the postcard is to motivate the reader to go to your Web site for more information or to place the order. You can facilitate this by featuring your URL prominently, so that the postcard can become a quick "to-do" flag: it might be inserted in a book or briefcase as a reminder. You might even consider adding a peel-and-stick URL of your order page.
On line advertising is effective for our audience, because the Web is instantly available. Here are some Web sites where our buyers might be looking for help. Some accept ads, some don't. But the ones that don't accept ads have lots of links to sites that do. The usual methods will be effective, of course: Google AdWords, Yahoo! Advertising, Bing Ads, and Everything You Need To Know About Sponsored Content.
But more targeted sites can be more cost-effective. The sites below provide resources that this audience seeks:
- Top7Business
- FastCompany
