WHY ADVERTISE? Think of advertising as a critical investment in your business.Today’s society places countless demands on consumers’ attention. Companies that don’t make themselves noticed have little or no chance to succeed, let alone achieve their full sales potential.

Advertising is an opportunity to gain your fair share of consumers’ attention as well as their business. Potential customers and even existing customers need to be informed, persuaded and reminded frequently of what you have to offer that makes your products worth buying over those of your competitors. Advertising that looks professional and speaks convincingly to the right audience will build awareness and stimulate sales, ultimately leading to financial benefits that far exceed the costs.

WHY ADVERTISE THROUGH ROSENBERG? STRENGTH IN NUMBERS Participating in these national promotions gives your advertising added authority and impact while saving you a large amount of money due to shared design and printing costs.With Rosenberg’s plan, design costs are split between all participating dealers and built right into the provided prices, so you’re saving the $50- to $100-per-hour such designs would normally cost. At the same time, printing in a large group means drastic quantity discounts. Compare your options: PRINTING JOB

INCREDIBLE VALUE When you participate in Rosenberg’s advertising plan, the sale of one mid- to high-level sewing machine covers the cost of any given promotion, so the plan quickly pays for itself and then some. Plus, you can put your co-op dollars toward the cost of the promotions for a minimal investment and a maximum return.
