THE MEDIUM and THE MOMENT
THE secret of successful advertising lies in the ability of the advertiser to place his message before prospective customers at the right moment...and yet there are business men who have not yet appreciated the wisdom of ensuring that their message will be available at the right moment.
In order to determine which is the right moment, it is necessary to discover which medium is likely to bo perused at the reader's leisure.. because the leisure moment is obviously the moment when an attractive advertisement will be read."
It is unnecessary to pursne this line of thought stage by stage, but every business. man should ask himself which advertising. medium it is he sees going to the homes every afternoon? That is the medium which is read by every adult member of the family in his or her leisure moment,............ and every member is a potential customer.
And that is why newspaper publicity bas no fival in advertising effectiveness.
