CENTURY CO. PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Three Months' Campaign Will Help Popularize
"Century Certified Music"
Meet Competition
BY CARRYING BEST IN MERCHANDISE
AND PLENTY OF IT!
BY SERVING YOUR CUSTOMERS' BEST
INTERESTS!
BY BEING COURTEOUS TO YOUR
TRADE!
By applying these three rules in your busi-
ness you need have no fear of your competitor.
Serve your Customers' BEST interests
by introducing the Nationally Advertised
"CENTURY" Certified Edition. Besides giv-
ing the best you are saving them money, thus
establishing a lasting confidence in your trade
methods and bringing the customers back
again and again.
Courteous treatment is one of the greatest
essentials in building up a successful business.
All three go hand in hand.
During February, March and April the Cen-
tury Music Co. will run advertisements in the
Ladies' Home Journal, Pictorial Review and the
Delineator, giving publicity to "Century Cer-
tified Music." It is estimated that over four
million people will read the announcements.
The above firm is sending out letters to the
trade asking them to co-operate, and as many
dealers have been doing this in the past cam-
paigns it is thought the list of those taking ad-
vantage of this free publicity will be quite large.
For local papers the Century Music Co. fur-
nishes cuts and it also has a window service
department that furnishes the material and sug-
gestions for window displays. Thus the dealers
can become associated with the campaign with
the use of a small amount of energy.
