Advertised in newspaper but no responce from applicants so money burnt!?

Question

Recently I advertised in newspaper (3+1) run on Ads and paid USD30.00. Nobody responded to my Ad. It came to my mind. So like me so many hundreds who advertised like me also lost money! Newspaper dont refund if no responce! So daily many hundred paying so much and the money is getting burnt! The reason for no response could be the target audience could have missed reading the Ads. Anyone can come up with a new business process or idea so people like me get a value for money and the Ads get noticed?

Answer 1

Marketing guru Dan Kennedy uses this formula: the right message plus the right market ( these have to match) plus the right media equals the right results. I do not know what you advertised or what newspaper you advertised it in but look at each of these elements and you will find the answer.Some thoughts to consider:The newspaper might not be the best place to reach your target.Ads in the one daily paper in Cleveland cost much more than $30 so I dont know how big your ad was.Also running ads requires frequency - one ad wont do it. I dont know what your message was - was there any call to action in the ad such as a coupon, a toll free number, a free report etc?I recommend you talk with an ad agency or a marketing consultant to look at your marketing plan to see if they could help.I have  attached a link to SCORE which offers free help to companies from retired executives.
