Is Small Business Advertising DEAD ??

I have to say that I am very amazed with all the ways a business can advertise their product or services.I am the President and CEO of a National Digital Sign Advertising company, and deal with all types of businesses everyday.I am always shocked to find out that over 70% of all businesses do not have a marketing plan for growing their businesses.I constantly ask myself how these businesses succeed, when they have no direction in growing their company products or services?I have always felt that in the advertising services business that there have been many missed opportunities to provide better value added services that would benefit both the advertising agency and the advertisiers.
In the Newspaper advertising industry they are using outdated technology to provide the business world with an inferior product and doing more harm to our natural resources than needed. Big Ad Agencies charge exorbitent prices for medicore advertising with limited results.We live in a time when technology is KING. Everyone has a computer, email, internet access,cellular phones, Not to mention how many people have blogs, and of course FACEBOOK page. Social media is fast becoming the way to advertise and do business. Savvy employers are using Facbook to check out potential employees.With all of the technology that we have access to it's no wonder that to succeed in the business world you need to be "networked". I have long believed that the problem with our national economy is 2 things;
1) a lack of service especially from the businesses in a service industry
2) Greed - businesses that are not willing to provide better products and or services at more affordable pricing.
I posed the question in the title of this page " Is small business advertising DEAD? I want you to think about some of your own advertising opportunities in the past few years. Did you get a good price on advertising? Was the advertising effective? Was the advertising trackable? the reason I personally feel small business advertising is DEAD, is due to our economic stiuation in the United States. What I mean is that small businesses struggle to get their message out to the public because it has become very costly to advertise in the traditional methods of Newspapers, Television and Radio, and they do not offer any positive solutions to small business to help them succeed in the real business world.
That's why I decided to build a national digital sign advertising company that benefits everyone from the locations that host our ad screens, to the advertisers, to the communities that they do business in.We offer many value added services at no added cost to the advertisers, We pay businesses to to allow us to put our screens in their businesses, We even offer local charities Free advertising on these ad screens.and as our network grows around the USA, We will be working with law enforcment providing AMBER ALERTS for missing persons.
I thinks it's time to put AFFORDABLE SERVICE back into the Service Industry. What do you Think?
