We Help Small Businesses That Think Advertising Doesn’t Work

There are literally hundreds of variables that can either give you so-so advertising results or worse, make you lose money on the venture. It’s easy to get discouraged, write off advertising and just say, “We don’t advertise.” Small businesses are even more prone to this because they often only have enough capital for one ad at a time and when there’s little response, they assume advertising doesn’t work.  ReSprout helps reduce the amount of variables, which ups the odds of your advertising success:

• Guaranteed results or your money back
• Ad templates based on decades of marketing studies
• A fool-proof ad design system that translates your business goals and unique market position into an effective ad
• Advertorial-based ads, proven more effective than traditional ads
• A unique distribution model that makes paying for unread copies virtually impossible

We Help Small Businesses With Limited Money To Invest In Advertising Anyway

No money, no revenue, no sales, no cash-flow, no budget, or just the big ‘R’ word–Recession. Whatever you call it, it’s not pleasant. We’re a small business, too, so we understand. When it comes down to signing up for a pretty new ad or making payroll, the choice is clear. The good thing about advertising is that it’s one of the few things that you can spend money on in your business that actually pays for it’s investment many times over. Advertising is like a salesperson that you don’t have to train or pay benefits to. And good advertising is like a good salesperson that you can clone. We do everything we can do to make sure that your relationship with ReSprout is not a burden, but still allows you to make the investment in good advertising in order to help your company sustain itself or grow.

We Help Green Small Businesses Advertise

Being a green business right now can both be a curse and an asset. On the one hand, being green is hot right now and seems to be less prone to being hit by the Recession. On the other hand, there is an eye-roll inducing backlash against all things eco-friendly,  a public fear of greenwashing in advertising and a fair amount of public education still necessary about what makes specific products and services better environmental alternative. ReSprout caters to green and health-based businesses. We know the pitfalls and we know your customer. ReSprout was founded by a green- and health-conscious consumer. In most cases, our founder is your potential customer, and can help give you specific feedback on how your marketing message can successively navigate the murky waters of green advertising. The Lean & Green Guide has several features that help green businesses specifically:

• Ad templates that focus on helping you educate readers about the eco-friendly merits of your product or service
• Opportunities to sponsor environmental non-profits—helping them and linking you to a great cause
• 1% of your ad dollars are donated to Long Island health and environmental non-profits
• A large file of eco-facts relevant to your industry that help educate readers and decrease your research work
• Ad templates that feature your certifications and the green pedigree of your company
• The knowledge that your ad has not supported the destruction of forests—the Lean & Green Guide is printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper
• Virtually waste-free through our free distribution method

We Help Businesses Tired of Sleazy Ad Sales People, Price Games, & Endless Advertising Haggling

Sadly, sales people have a bad rap. Ad sales is particularly inundated with questionable characters who sell one of the most intangible “products” available–advertising. ReSprout knows that you don’t want advertising and that you don’t want an ad. And chances are, you don’t even want the psuedo-celebrity ego trip that comes from running full page back cover glossy ads every month (although, it’s definitely kinda cool). You want results. You want calls. You want sales. You want website visits. You want new customers. You want higher sales from current ones. You want to be able to stop worrying so much about revenue. You want to keep your employees busy. You want to say, “Business is great!” and mean it. You want to make more money off your campaign than you spent. But most of all you just want results. You don’t want to be tricked into advertising by some nameless rep who tried to sell you the biggest ad package they had. You don’t want to have the sinking feeling that everyone else in the same publication is spending less than you. You don’t want to feel sold to. You don’t want to feel that if you just negotiated better, you’d have a better deal. And darnit, you want some sort of guarantee that investing in this particular publication is actually going to make a difference to your revenue. ReSprout was formed with many intentions, but one of them is to say in the loudest possible way, “WE HEAR YOU!”

After over a decade in the publishing world, founder April Zubko (yes, that’s her at the top of the page) decided that after hearing the same things over and over from advertisers, she would create a publishing company that (gasp!) actually gives it’s advertising clients what they need and want:

• Guaranteed results–however your company defines that–or your money back
• No-haggle transparent and equal pricing for all, yet with…
• Ability to customize your investment through generous published discount programs
• Truly customized ads that are based on your business goals and not anything else
• Zero-pressure sales
• And most of all, a cool chick named April (who is most definitely not a sleazy salesperson) who digs healthy and green stuff and just helping people
