To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 45 .
Some are the 46 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 47 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 48 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 49 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 50 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 51 .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 52 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 53 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 54 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 55 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance. 56 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 57 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 58 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 59 is based on previous positive experiences.

The secret of success is what you say not what you think. Several years ago, I started representing a new service in the . I started out like a wildfire and within a few days I had reached stardom(明星的地位) within the company. About a year into it. I started to work with a young lady who always said the most and defeating things I’d ever heard in my life. , I found myself repeating the very same defeatism(失败情绪), which my sales dropping and my shining stardom fading away, and I couldn’t understand .
At first, I myself to say negative things about , and then after some ,
the tables turned and I began to those things about myself. Before long, I had 51
myself into being a failure. Did it happen ? No, it snuck(偷偷跑来) its way into my life; little by little. I’m sure you’re what I did to get out of that hole that I dug for myself. I started to talk myself back into being ; I printed lists of things to say about myself, most of which was the exact of what I felt about myself at the time.
In order to achieve anything in life, you have to believe that you can achieve it; in order to believe that you can achieve you have to think it’s possible; in order to think it’s possible you have to tell yourself it is. Yes, it will take time for you to get to a place where you finally believe you can accomplish what you set out to achieve, but the first person you have to is yourself. I dare you to write positive things down about yourself and start saying them to yourself every morning, at lunch and just before you go to bed for the next 30 days and see for yourself the that it can make. You have nothing to except the negative and that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.
