Retailers and Newspapers
“It is a pity retailers so often have to learn the same
lesson over and over again through cost and hardship.
This observation was made by Edward R. Engle,
official of the National Retail Merchants association. Mr.
Engle was referring to the importance of newspaper ad
vertising to retail trade.
His findings were based on a study made of results
of the New York City newspaper strike where sales
took a tremendous drop in spite of radio, television and
outside papers trying to fill the gap.
Last week, during the Dollar Days promotion, a local
service station operator ran an ad in the local paper
that he would “fill gas tanks for any silver dollar dated
prior to 1900.” It was a modest-sized ad, plainly worded,
and had no mats for attention compellers.
By Saturday word was going through the downtown
section that he was really being hit hard —that cars
were lined up to be served. The general idea was that
he had miscalculated about the number of these silver
dollars in circulation. (We had one dated 1884 that we
would not use because the operator was being hard-hit!)
He filled 100 to 105 gas tanks with the gas amounts
ranging from $1.77 to $6.40 — each for one silver dollar.
But of the total number of customers, approximately
50 percent were new to the station.
Retail stores figure it costs from $10 up to get ex
posure to new customers within the store. Yet this
operator did it for $3 to $4 each.
This local merchant is very happy with his promo
tion — says it is one of the best he has ever had. It did
not “ding” his cash register for a profit those days — it
was a loss then, but he was building for the future.
