What newspaper will you advertise in? – A huge decision and something to think about is what newspaper will you advertise in?

Competitors – Do you have a lot of competitors out there? If so, that may also play a role in how many people will come to your business. If you’re ad is surrounded by 5 competitors, you must make sure yours stands out from everyone elses.
What size? – Also, what size is your newspaper ad going to be? If yours is smaller and you have a lot of competitors around you that are larger, your advertisement may easily be over looked. So make sure you don’t make it too small.
