    Default Best Method of Advertising

    Today with all the different methods of pitching products, on television specificly, heres the question and what brought me to think of it: I was watching a commercial and it was for a storage unit, and their special promotion was two months half off... I found it odd, so I want you all's opinion: Which advert works better, buy one get one free, buy two get two free, first month free, or anything else you have heard or can think of?

    Depends on the product or service they're offering. Service promotion usually thrives on time-conditioned discounts and trial "hooks", as product promotion does on immediate price discounts. That "two months half off" offer you heard was possibly the only promotion said company's surplus could provide for; it may not sound too appealing but in modern marketing you must offer bargains all the time to be competitive, and cling on to what you can provide, or be dismissed by your audience. Personally, as a buyer I'd go with a buy one get two free, but sometimes these offers are just not profitable for companies, so pick the one that suits your needs best.

    what you're talking about is called promotion not advertising.

    so do you want to know about promotion or advertising?

    You don't qualify to talk about either.
