Little Stories and Talks About Advertising
(Copyright, 1913, By Harry Schorman)
A Rather Famous Story About Black Opa s
A Now York jeweler, George Marcus & Co., had a
large stock of Black Opal's on hand, which he.'was yery
anxious to market. Unfortunately, the notpriousjy Ijlaso
New Yorkers seemed to care no more for Black Opals
than for opals of any other color of the rainbow.
So the jeweler called in an advertising man and said :
"I want you to make more people want Black Opals."
A newspaper campaign -was run for .several seasons, and eo
unusual and 'Interesting was the "copy" that numbers of people -began
WANTING Black Opals who had noyer before HEARD of them
ut all. The sales rapidly increased, UNTIL- TOW .TUB .MINES IN
AUTRAIjIA ARB "WORKED OUT, and can no longer supply the de
mand. The advertising man asserts that this advertising campaign
in Neyv York City was directly responsible for the working out of
those Australian mines.
Moral: PEOPLE CAN BE MADE TO WANT ANY
MARKETABLE PRODUCT. The only thing necessary
is sensible and persisfent advertising, and "copy" writ
ten by a man whoknows how to nrouse desira
If you want to increase the sales of YOUR goods,
call in a reliable advertising man, and if the goods can
bo made' to sell at all he will show you how to do it by
advertising.
