THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT
hackneyed phrase perhaps, but containing a wealth of truth when applied to advertising..
The
foundation of
stressful business can Ju traced to NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING, for the simple reason that the newspaper advertiser presents his message at the PSYCIJOLOGICAL MOMENT... the leisure moment, when the mind of the reader is in receptive mood.
Not only that, but the newspaper message becomes a daily message, permitting the merchant to vary his appeal according to the season, and even to the day!
If newspapera suddenly ceased publication, what would the commercial world do?.
Yes! The question is an absurd one!
The daily appeal which goes into the home is the most effective.
