The Value of Colored Advertising
Have you ever thought before of the monetary value of advertising
among Colored people as a class? If not, permit us to open your eyes to a
fertile field of advertising that you have too long neglected.
Thousands of Colored men in this city and country are waiters and every
waiter is a salesman. In hotels and on dining cars 99 per cent of guests are
open to suggestions as to what they shall eat and drink. Some of us have
been waiters and we know. Whenever the Domino Sugar man gets on a
dining car he slips each waiter a dollar and whispers, “Heavy on the sugar,
boy; heavy on the sugar.” Why? Because he knows that the waiter is a
business maker. We can say it without one word of exaggeration that the
Colored waiters of the United States sell more of certain lines of foodstuffs
than any single method of advertising extant.
The Colored caterer is also a most important factor. His trade is fol
lowed among the wealthy and he has all to say as to what his guests shall
eat. The Colored paper means more to him than any other publication out
side of his cook books and trade periodicals. Isn’t he a very important man
to reach?
The Colored club steward is another man to consider. In nearly every
city of size the Colored steward is a fixture. The stewards of commercial
and social clubs with their thousands of members are of value to the mer
chant. A steward would sooner patronize a firm who is willing to advertise
with his people than go elsewhere when prices are the same. Isn’t it logical?
Then there is the Colored cook who does practically all the choosing for
the family table. The mistress may not care whether Bing’s Beans or Pape’s
Pickles are bought, but the Colored cook is going to ask for the brand adver
tised in the race paper which he or she reads.
Another class to be reckoned with is the servant class. In the matter
of buying and favoring one brand of goods to another, or one dealer to an
other, their power of suggestion is a value to be reckoned with. They, too,
are reached by the Colored weekly.
And lastly, but not least, come the Colored people themselves. What
ever may be their faults and their virtues, three things are certain: Colored
people will eat, dress and furnish their homes. The ten thousand readers
of The Monitor spend millions of dollars annually for merchandise of all
kinds and they are fast realizing that the firm that advertises in their race
paper is more courteous, more obliging and more anxious for their business
than the firm that doesn’t.
THAT IS WHY WE SAY THAT COLORED ADVERTISING PAYS—
Think it over.
Colored advertising pays better than any kind of class advertising on
earth because there are more of that class and because they are placed in a
position to be of value to the advertiser.
