Advertising is a form of marketing communication used to inform and persuade an audience to take or continue some action. Depending on the circumstances it can be a useful tool to communicate employment opportunities and target the audience that best meets your staffing needs. Your advertising plan should address both short term and long term outreach objectives. The keys to successful advertising are: a) knowing your budget to allocate toward specific types of advertising; and, b) identifying your target audience and where they can be reached.
Before You Advertise
