Look Into the Home to Determine Adequate Advertising A DEQUATE advertising in any medium is determined by certain basic facts which are found in the home No advertiser can arbitrarily decide how much advertising effort is sufficient to influence the readers of any newspaper to the fullest degree The answer is found among the readerfamilies Minimum advertising is determined by the minimum purchases of the readergroup The only other controlling factors are the merit and available supply of the merchandise for saleand the spread between cost and selling prices Let us examine a thousand average homes to learn the minimum expendi ture for clothing advertising which can be called adequate The average U S family spends 23535 per year for clothing A thousand families purchase 23535000 worth of clothing annually It is the universal practice of clothing retailers to invest at least 3 for advertising Therefore the purchases of every thousand families who sub scribe to this newspaper justify an investment of more than 7000 in clothing advertising in this medium every year Ten clothing merchants would each be justified in spending 700 per thousand circulation per year Are you positive that your advertising effort is adequate in this newspaper
