DOES IT PAY?
Does handbill advertising pay?
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.
