“If you are NOT ADVERTISING
in the Kings Mountain Herald
you are LOSING BUSINESS!”
Rob Nivens, Oak Grove Auto Sales & Service
Q. You are advertising bi-weekly. Why is it important to you advertise
that often?
A. Different people are always looking at the paper and |
want to be there for them to see. You have to keep your name
out there and be specific about what you offer and why you
are the best choice. And, seeing my business name alone is
not always going to bring people to my door. Potential cus-
tomers need to know what services you have to offer them
and how they are better or more affordable than someone
. else's. | believe the best way to get this information out there
is by advertising in The Herald - our local newspaper!
If you would like information on how to increase
your business, like Rob has, call us today at
