Determining Where to Advertise
Thinking of your target audience and the type of
advertising you want to do keep these things in mind:
▸You are not allowed to target anyone 21 and under.

when 30% or more of the viewing audience is under 21.
▸When targeted an aging population, consider material
that could be placed in a doctor’s office.

Summary
Advertising and social media are key aspects to your
business plan when it comes to expanding market share.
Once you have defined a target demographic, start to
create content and place it throughout social media
platforms and a few traditional mediums. You will need to
set an advertising budget and determine how much each
medium will receive.
Advertising will not produce a return on investment
immediately, it will take time. Social media, which is a part
of advertising, gives patrons a way to connect with you
directly and quickly. While your brand will stay the same,
your advertising plans will continue to evolve and change.
