    How can we measure newspaper advertisement? My Company regularly give ad in newspaper. BUt we cannot measure if these clients are coming through newspaper or simply come directly to our store.

    Many Stores use automated counters on their doors. So they can measure exactly how many walk-in customers are coming. And they measure the effectiveness of their ad campaign by finding difference between usual average and after ad average attendance.

    Good tips but delivery needs work, if I am looking to acquire your services or products, I hope they are more reliable than the delivery of your top seven list. Proof read your material prior to posting or ask someone else proof it for you. English being a second language does not excuse typographical or pronunciation errors
