Co-Operation
Much of the trade lost by small
town merchants to foreign competi
tion is the direct result of a lack of
proper advertising.
A most convincing example in
substantiation of this statement
came under my observation about
three years ago during a visit to one
of our small towns.
While interviewing one of the
merchants in the interest of sts.nd
ard merchandise and better selling
methods, a woman called to get a
button replaced on a shoe—which
service, by the 'way, was gladly per
formed without charge.
After examining the shoe this (
merchant asked where it had been
bought. “In blank city,” replied the |
lady. “I buy all of my shoes there.” [
“Why don't you buy your shoes :
here?” he countered. “I can save,
you the expense and inconvenience
of sending away for them.”
‘I would like to,” she rejoined,
“but I wear this make of shoe only, j
in this particular style of last.”
He immediately turned to his
shelves and brought out a duplicate
of her shoe—same make, same style
and same factory last number.
“I handle this full line during the
entire year,” he explained, “and am,
therefore, in position, to serve you
to much better advantage than any
one at a distance.”
She promptly informed him that
he would get all of her future shoe 1
patronage. In fact, she would call j.
a friend’s attention to the fact that
this line was carried locally and in
sisted on her calling and inspecting ,
his stock.
Her only reason for not having 1
patronized him in the past was that
she did not know that she could ob- ,
tain the particular shoe she wanted i
from his store.
After she had departed he ex- |
plained that the reason he had not
advertised the shoe in his local paper
was that he presumed everybody in i
the community would, sooner or
later, call and look over his stock.
Then, too, he had been in the
shoe business a long time and nat- j
urally figured that the trade was fa
miliar with his merchandise.
Same old story: An utter lack of
appreciation of the value of adver
tising—acquainting possible pur
chasers with what he had to offer
them.
The public would, of course,
eventually become familiar with his
lines in some way or other. He
could, however, obtain desired re
sults in this direction much more
economically and expeditiously by
utilizing the various forms of adver
tising media at his command—par
ticularly his local newspaper.
