Stop paying for space you do not need. Buying one column less than a full page is a smart move, because it usually gets you editorial matter on the same page, adding to the readership. Ten-second television spots can be even more effective than 30s, ' if the product story is simple. Offer a free booklet, a free trial, or put a phone number in every ad or commercial. Reason: Marketing can compare the effectiveness of one station or publication with another. Any station or publication that doesn't deliver its share of inquiries should be cut. Trim stations and publications that don't reach ... main audience. Most advertisers can't resist the bargain' of a special rate offered by marginal publications and stations. Such bargains are expensive if the advertising doesn't end up reaching its best potential customers. Take advantage of seasonal and quantity discounts.

Don't be afraid to suggest something new if you honestly believe you have a workable idea. Media people welcome original ideas when they're practical and logically organized. 10. Be business-like. Don't try to gain publicity by pressuring friendship, advertising, or business connections. Never ask a daily when a story will appear. In dealing with small weekly newspapers, however, this question is not unreasonable. Don't ask for clippings. Never beg for a story. 11. Be professional.
