To determine whether handbill ad vertlfling is effective or not, the Spencer Evening World (Ind.) conducted a survey last night In 195 Spencer homes, which explains why the carrier boys bothered some people by asking them various questions about handbills. Wednesday four business firms, one out-of-town and three local, distributed handbills and It was decided this! would be a good day to conduct ai survey since 105 homes woro checked; there would he a total of 420 pieces of printed literature traced. The carrier boys were given thoj question to ask, but wore not told what was being done, thus eliminating the possibility of prejudicing' them. And the hny? were told to be j careful with their Investigation since they would have to have tho name, of! every person checked and alpo would j have to have their resepctive reports j notarized. The survey proved that handbill j advertising, at Its best, is haphazard j Of the 420 handbills distributed to tho. 1 or, homes investigated, it was found that almost two-thirds of them are lost! That means they are not read by *Phe person for whom they are intended and because of this they are an expenslvo advertising medium. Chief reason for the ineffectiveness is that persons do not pay for them, as they do a newspaper, and thus they do not appreciate them or look for them Also whenever more than one handbill is distributed, they represent just so much paper that has to bo collected ofT tho porch and thus they are not read. Of tho 420 handbills that were disj tributed on Wednesday, the ETrening World survey shows what happened to them Handbills seen, but not read?27 Picked up and read?153. Handbills picked up only to be thrown away?33. Handbill disregarded or not seen ? 207. Which summarizes it as follows: 153 handbills read and 267 not read. ?
