Many senior business people in the USA believe that some 90% of all advertising does not do what it is intended to do. The common reasons are the basic ineptitude of many people charged with creating advertising, objectives and goals inadequately set, advertising created primarily to win awards for creative excellence, ignorance of basic rules, and lack of a comprehensive advertising work plan. Enumerates 28 types of advertising media, with suggestions on how to package an advertising message. Then, through six basic rules and three supplements provided, a 15‐item outline for an advertising work plan, and a 60‐tip checklist of practical pointers, shows the reader how to create advertising copy that does not have to be sent back for endless revision, and can significantly contribute to customer volume and business profits.
