Once upon a time, repparttar 101048 simplest manner to "Key" any ad was to write, Dept. No. 1234, or whatever number/letter combination you might want to use, and this allowed you to know from where you were receiving your responses.

Whether an ad is FREE or paid for, if you know if it is drawing responses then you can make informed decisions about continuing to place ads at those particular sites or publications.

The Celebrity Factor--A Star is Born in Your Advertising

Written by Kahlia Hannah

As Americans, we are obsessed with celebrities. We know who repparttar

stars are dating, what their favorite foods are, and, thanks to MTV Cribs, we even know repparttar 101043

intimate details of their home decorating styles.

With our paparazzi-like fixations on repparttar 101044 famous, it is no wonder ad campaigns involving celebrities are more successful than any other type of advertising. Michael Jordan says "Wear Hanes" and we do. Sarah Michelle Gellar says "Use Maybelline cosmetics" and we buy repparttar 101045 lot. Even Carrot Top, considered by many to be repparttar 101046 most repulsive and annoying person ever to grace repparttar 101047 screen, gets us to call AT&T.

So how do these fun facts help you in your advertising? Let me explain.

Unless you own Coca Cola, Pepsi, Verizon, or Kentucky Fried Chicken, you probably can't afford to lay down a cool million for celebrity advertising. Luckily, you don't have to.

One way to get a celebrity in your ads is to use local celebrities. This is a far cheaper, but still effective strategy to get your prospects' attention.

Try a popular DJ, news reporter, politician, social figure or merchant. Some of these people will jump at repparttar 101048 chance to be in your ad. An offer of $50 or $100 dollars will usually do repparttar 101049 trick

I am especially fond of using local DJs. We spend up to an hour or more in our cars each day listening to these characters, so we get a mental image of them locked in our heads. In most cases, repparttar 101050 DJ looks nothing like what you imagined. When you see them on a commercial, you can't look away, thinking, "I can't believe that's what he/she looks like!" It's a great way to hold your viewers' attention.
