Reasons to Advertise

1) Advertising Keeps You in the Competitive Race. There are only so many customers in the market ready to buy at any one time. You have to advertise to keep regular customers and to counterbalance the advertising of your competition. You must advertise to keep or expand your market share or you will lose to more aggressive competitors.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

2) Advertising Creates Store Traffic. Continuous store traffic is the first step toward increasing sales and expanding your base of shoppers. The more people who come into the store, the more opportunities you have to make sales. A National Retail Federation survey found that for every 100 items shoppers plan to buy, they make 30 unanticipated purchases.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

3) Advertising Generates Continuous Business. Your doors are open. Employees are on the payroll. Even the slowest days produce sales. As long as you're in business you've got overhead to meet and new people to reach. Advertising can generate traffic now? and in the future.

4) Advertising Attracts New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Newcomers to your area mean new customers to reach. People earn more money, which means changes in lifestyles and buying habits. The shopper who wouldn't consider your business a few years ago may be a prime customer now. thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

5) Advertising Encourages Repeat Business. Shoppers don't have the store loyalty they once did. Shoppers have mobility and freedom of choice. You must advertise to keep pace with your competition. The National Retail Federation states: Mobility and non-loyalty are rampant. Stores must promote to get former customers to return and to seek new ones.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

6) Advertising Keeps Your Business Top-of-Mind.With shoppers many people postpone buying decisions. They often go from store to store comparing prices, quality and service. Advertising must reach them steadily through the entire decision making process. Your name must be fresh in their minds when they decide to buy.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

7) Advertising is an Investment in Success. Advertising gives you a long-term advantage over competitors who cut back or cancel advertising. A survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising over a five-year period saw their sales increase an average of 100 percent, and companies that cut advertising grew at less than half that rate of those who advertise steadily.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

8) Advertising Maintains Morale. Positive advertising boosts morale. It gives your staff strong, additional support. When advertising or promotion is suddenly cut or cancelled, salespeople and employees may become alarmed or demoralized. They may start false rumors in the honest belief that your business is in trouble. thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

9) Advertising Gives Your Business a Successful Image. In a competitive market, rumors and bad news travel fast. Nothing sets the record straight faster than advertising; it tells your customers and competitors that your doors are open and you're ready for business. Vigorous and positive advertising can bring shoppers into the marketplace, regardless of the economy.thebusdirectory.com is here to help.

10) Advertising Brings in Big Bucks for Your Business. Advertising works. Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You'll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

Games to Play on a Traveling Bus

People love to say that when you're traveling, getting there is half the fun. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, but one thing is for sure: simple games really can help pass the time on a long bus ride. If you're traveling in a group, engage your fellow passengers and help one another get through the trip with any of several simple, stimulating and time-consuming games.

Make Up Stories

This loosely structured game works well for creative groups with quick wit and off-the-cuff thinking skills. Have the group leader start with a stock story introduction: "It was a dark and stormy night, and all of a sudden everyone heard a..." or "Once upon a time, there lived..." Then have a passenger from one side of the bus complete the sentence. The story then goes to the other side, where a team member adds the next detail or event. The leader can either make the players go in a particular order (front row first), or call on players of his or her choice. The game can last until the story resolves, until it has gotten a little too silly or until the creative energy has died out.

Trivia

Borrow a page from the pubs and host a trivia contest. These require prepared questions and a little organization on the host's part, but they can keep the group occupied for a couple of hours. Divide the bus into quadrants and prepare four rounds of five questions each, then one final question. Topics can include science, music, geography, history, movies or pop culture. Award points for each question and allow each team several minutes to answer (pub trivia hosts sometimes play a popular song after asking the question, and some even use music as clues). When time's up, have each team pass its answer to the front. Have the host repeat the question, then reveal the answer. After all the questions, allow each team to wager up to 20 points on the final question. For a shortcut in preparation, use questions from a trivia board game.

Travel Bingo

Make each passenger a card with "Bingo" written across the top, and a column assigned to each letter of the word. Divide each column into five rows and place in each square the name of or a sticker depicting an item you're likely to pass on the trip (rest stop, truck of a certain color, state border sign). Make sure the items on each card are arranged differently. When a player crosses off a straight or diagonal row of objects across the card, he or she yells "Bingo" and wins. For long trips take a break, then have players trade cards and try again.

Famous People

Have the host name a well-known singer, actor or other celebrity: for example, Harrison Ford. Ford ends in the letter D, so the next player would have to name another celebrity whose name begins with D. If the next player names David Bowie, the first letter of the next name then has to be E. Each name can be used only once, which makes later rounds challenging (there are only so many celebrities whose first name begin with the letter Z.) For an added challenge, limit the field: only live celebrities, only dead celebrities or only celebrities from a particular field.
