I really like this article on Price Shoppers and where/who to focus advertising. I’ve read it a couple times and it makes more sense each time. I am rethinking some of my advertising because of it. Just my 2 cents.

Here is part I really like:
“As an example of this, I am intrigued and entertained by the Apple Computer television ads that show “Mac” talking to “PC.”
These ads don’t try to convince consumers to buy a computer. Instead, they point out how much nicer your life will be if you switch from a personal computer’s irritations to the advantages of using a Mac.
Stop trying to convince consumers who don’t value carpet cleaning and other home services to call you.
Focus on consumers who want more than their current cleaning company is providing.”
