Steps On Doing Newspaper Marketing

By Eloise Hewitt


For a long time, many people have read the newspaper to get updates on current events in their place and even world wide. These days, televisions and social media networks are slowly replacing the newspaper on relaying news to people. Publishing companies find it hard enough to sell their newspapers because of it.

It will always be a challenge for a publisher or an editor on how they will do marketing. Before doing any newspaper marketing, one has to carefully think of ideas on how to market it. Doing the right marketing step will help their newspapers convey information to a lot of people.

News stand kiosks can be used as a tool to market your newspapers. It should be in an area where there is high activity or there are many passersby. You can set up some kiosks in the mall and other commercial areas. Set it up in the train station or beside a bus stop. You should place a sign on the kiosk which can be seen right away. If there are news stands that is exclusively selling your paper, you can paint it with colors which matches your paper. The salesman may wear a shirt with your logo on it.

Suggest your staff that they should register for an account at social media networks. This is a way to tell others what kind of people your firm employs. Others do not just like to know current events. They also like to get updated on other people. Create one account for your paper wherein others can feel free to ask questions and make comments.

There should be an area in the gazette that contains testimonies from the advertisers you had. These testimonies should be about how they became successful after posting their ad on your paper. These testimonies would convince other to also have their ad on your list.

Other publishers just use fake names to convince people. But, it would be more convincing if you would be featuring real success stories of real people. Feature these as often as you could to help convince others to place their ads too.

Organizing some contests is also another step to promoting your paper. Hold regular story writing contests and tell them that you would be publishing the winning story. There is no need to announce to them which winning story you would publish so that they will have to buy and read your gazette on a regular basis.

You may ask a favor from the establishments who posted their ads on your papers if you could place you newspaper sign on their establishments. There is a great possibility that they will agree to do it. These establishments also want others to notice their ads which they paid to be posted.

Newspapers have always been a medium of conveying information to others. Now, with the advanced technology, you can use the internet to search for information you like to know about. Marketing it properly will help your newspaper compete with the technology nowadays.
