One of the most difficult tasks for New Jersey small business owners is promoting their business. Media representatives have "the answer" and are eager to set up an advertising schedule they guarantee will work.

Unfortunately, most small business owners, whether in New Jersey or elsewhere, rely on the advice of their reps and run the risk of failing miserably even after spending a great deal of advertising money.

If your business is in New Jersey, you certainly realize you are a short distance from Madison Avenue, the acknowledged center of the advertising universe. Advertising agencies reside in each office tower and are always eagerly looking for new business. As a small business owner, however, your budget may not be large enough to fund one of the prestigious agencies on Madison Avenue.

If your business is struggling in this economy, you know getting the word out is critical to the overall success of your company. The questions you might be asking are: where do you advertise, how much to spend and can I do this myself or do I need help?

Perhaps you need the help of an advertising agency. Planning and scheduling advertising can be a full-time job taking you away from your day-to-day business operations. Advertising agencies are in the business of creating and placing advertising. They know what works and where it will reach the largest number of prospects for your business.

Agencies have long-standing relationships with media reps and, in most cases, can get a better deal on media placement by negotiating for you. Agencies keep the media (newspapers, radio, television and magazines) honest. An agency will place media buys that are the most effective for your New Jersey business.

If, however, you have experience in advertising and understand its workings, you may be able to do this yourself. This will eliminate the commission that agencies charge, thus saving a portion of your marketing budget for other opportunities.
