Tip #7 --
The best Miami Advertising
Agencies have grown from the growth of their clients and those
clients' ever-increasing marketing investments. That is a better
benchmark than growth coming from new clients. Such agencies
are hard to find. But the search will be worth your time.

When selecting Miami Advertising
Agencies ask people from the agency to make a presentation to
you, but don't ask them to spend a lot of money doing so. Listen
to their words, hoping they will talk more about you than about
themselves. Be aware of the emphasis they place on the importance
of a strategy, for that strategy is crucial to you. See if they
know how advertising fits into the overall marketing mix. Be
wary if they speak only of advertising and nothing about marketing.

Tip #9 --
You must do everything in your
power to know the difference between clever advertising and effective
advertising. Be careful if the agency relies too much on the
use of humor, for humor is often the enemy of effective advertising.
Advertising gains power through repetition, but humor becomes
weaker with repetition. If you're marketing candy or chewing
gum, humor may help. But if you're marketing high-priced offerings,
humor rarely leads to beautiful profit-and-loss statements.

Tip #11 --
You can learn about agencies,
not only by their presentations, but also by walking around the
agencies themselves. Look at their work in progress for other
clients, and see for yourself their staff's passion and enthusiasm
for creating advertising that works.

Tip #12 --
Be especially aware of Miami
Advertising Agencies campaigns that have run for a long time.
That's a sure sign that it is successful. Be sure that the creative
people are willing to experiment and test, to create materials
that are timeless. Watch out if they create "vampire"
advertising - the kind where cleverness, jokes, and special effects
draw attention away from your offering.

Tip #13 --
The key to great advertising
is to forget the advertising and be certain that the product
or service is the star. Great advertising agencies produce advertising
that creates a desire to buy. It is not supposed to make people
say, "What wonderful advertising!" Instead, it is supposed
to make people say, "I want that product."

Tip #14 --
Advertising creativity comes
from knowledge. The more knowledge the agency's people possess,
the more creative they can be. That means a powerful agency asks
questions, listens to answers, engages in tireless research,
and never stops learning.

Tip #15 --
Can your Miami Advertising
Agencies help you engage in fusion marketing arrangements with
others - where you combine marketing efforts to reach more people,
but save money because you are sharing the cost? A top agency
is able to use technology to the utmost but not rely too much
on it. Its advertising begins with your offering and the reason
you are in business in the first place - not with a snappy jingle
or dazzling graphic approach.
