			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advertising your business can be quite a daunting thought, there are so many options available and more importantly you will be thinking about whether or not it will be <strong>effective for your business</strong>.  The truth is, advertising can be one of the best ways of <strong>increasing business growth</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/graph.jpg" alt="graph" /></p>
<p>For one not only will it <strong>attract more customers</strong>, it will also give your business leads, and ultimately your company will be advertised by word of mouth.  This is one very powerful advantage of advertising in Port Elizabeth as customers will eagerly seek out a business they were refered to by a family member or friend rather than going to a random business in the phone book, and advertising is your way of achieving this.</p>
<p>Advertising will give youru business a large <strong>reputation boost</strong>, will also promote better customer service thus as a whole allow your company to <strong>grow</strong> in ways you wont believe.</p>
<p>Another great advantage is that not only will your business reach new customers but advertising will also encourage your current clients to <strong>spend more</strong> on your business, it will in a sense make them feel proud that they do business with you when they see your advertisements and will often begin bringing in more business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know the great advertising potential of flyers in Port Elizabeth, and the <strong>growth</strong> it offers your business.  It out weighs other forms greatly when you think about the costs and consumers it reaches.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/audience.JPG" alt="audience" height="240" width="361" /></p>
<p>One advantage you might not think about, but what makes a huge difference, is that when you advertise with flyers, there is absolutely <strong>no competition</strong> from other businesses involved!  But how?</p>
<p>When you advertise in newspapers, television, radio etc, it is not just your advertisement going through, your target market is also bombarded with so much advertising from your competitors that they eventually dont pay attention at all, and it will be hard for them to <strong>single out</strong> your business from the rest.</p>
<p>This is what makes flyer advertisements so powerful, consumers are reading advertisements about <strong>only your business</strong>, they will be taking in the information they read and will be memorising that information for when they need it, and that will give your business the <strong>edge</strong> over all others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From a consumer point of view, advertising in Port Elizabeth can be very <strong>powerful</strong>, especially when done with flyers.  From a business point of view, its a very effective way of advertising, but the lasting effects of this is what contributes laregly to the <strong>companies growth</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/viewing_tv.jpg" alt="tv" height="268" width="358" /></p>
<p>What happens when you read a flyer? Do you just glance it over and then forget about it? The answer is no, we <strong>store</strong> what we read in our sub concious mind, and it stays there <strong>forever</strong>.  The proving of this is very simple, have you ever read a flyer once, but not really paid attention to it, and a few days later you have a need for something, and suddenly remembered you read something like that on a flyer?  Then you find yourself scratching through your car, finding the flyer and contacting the business who advertised.  This is one way that advertising on flyers work, because they <strong>trigger our memories</strong> to fire about that specific advertisement when the need arises.</p>
<p>This is why advertising with <a href="http://www.pebizguide.co.za">PE Business Guide</a> is so powerful, not only do you get online advertising to target a massive market, but also you get a form of advertising within PE that leaves a <strong>lasting memory</strong>, and a<strong> quick and easy referance</strong> to use for customers in the form of a flyer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most increasing forms of advertising being used, is advertising over the internet.  More and more businessess are starting to realise the <strong>potential</strong> this has to offer and the <strong>massive market</strong> it exposes your business to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/internet-marketing-focus.jpg" alt="Internet_marketing" /></p>
<p>If you advertise only locally in your area, you are <strong>limiting your business</strong> to that area, and potential growth wont be as fast as you would hope.  However if you advertise locally aswell as online, your possibilities for growth are <strong>endless</strong>.  The way advertising online works, is that it uses key phrases, if a possible client searches for something specific, and your business matches the search criteria, then your advertisement will come up as one of the results, and this adds up to <strong>hundreds of views every day</strong>.  As much as 900 a day infact.</p>
<p>With this in mind, and also the fact that most businessess operate largely online, aswell as the fact that many customers will first do <strong>reasearch</strong> online regarding their needs before making any purchases, and you can see just why advertising online can be <strong>unbelievably beneficial</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most <strong>functional</strong> ways of advertising in Port Elizabeth, which is also one of the most overlooked, are flyers.  Not only is it quite <strong>low in costs</strong> to advertise on flyers but it is more flexible as well.<img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/pamphlet-stand.JPG" alt="pamphlet_stand" align="left" /></p>
<p>If you advertise in newspapers, you are limited to their constraints, however if you use flyers you can create a design and layout that perfectly <strong>suits your business</strong> idea and what you want to achieve with your advertisements.  This is a very attractive feature as you will want to ensure that you get across on your advertisements <strong>exactly like you want</strong> and how you imagined, without the limitations of other forms of advertising.</p>
<p>One of the only drawbacks is that if you advertise with flyers you will also have to organise the actual distribution of them, meaning you have to find people to hand them out, and you will have to pay those people, adding to your costs.  If however you advertise through <a href="http://www.pebizguide.co.za">PE business Guide</a>, this will all be <strong>managed for you</strong>!</p>
<p>Making advertising more <strong>cost effective</strong>, more productive and allowing you to get your business out there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many forms of advertising which all work to a certain extent, but you must also be careful of the prices as they all differ.</p>
<p>One form of <strong>advertising in Port Elizabeth</strong> is on the <strong>radio</strong>. The idea behind this is good &#8211; to reach the ears of your target market. But one downfall is that <strong>not everyone listens to the radio</strong> during working hours or more importantly pays attention to advertisements.  Most are so lost in thought in their daily activities that they only pay attention when their favorite song comes on. Radio advertising is also a form of exposure for only the financially stable. Not everyone has a budget of R50 000 to spend on radio advertising!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.pebizguide.co.za/wp-content/uploads/image3.jpg" alt="Advertising" /></p>
<p>Another way of advertising is with <strong>newspapers</strong>. This is quite a common form of advertising but does not always work as well as many would hope.  For one, the charges depend on a few things, such as the amount of words you use, how big the advertisement space is and the colors used even.  Not to mention that if your advertisement is too small, then it <strong>wont even be noticed at all</strong>.</p>
<p>Finding advertising that works for your company and your budget can be tricky.  <strong>Advertising in the <a href="/">PE biz guide</a></strong> wont kill your budget and provides wide coverage through PE’s centres, ensuring that your money really does work for you and you will definitely reap the rewards.</p>
