Advertising can take many forms such as for broadcast, print or online. Several types can be used together to increase the intended result. Traditional means of advertising have also made way for newer forms such as social media marketing, which customizes ads to target social media users with particular demographics and interests. By understanding the different forms of advertising, you\u2019ll be able to better utilize them to fit your needs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"accordions-670\" class=\"child-accordion flat\">\n<div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">Print Ads<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p class=\"well\">Print advertisements encompass everything from media with a broad readership base to more narrowly targeted media such as local newspapers and trade journals. This method of advertising tends to be the most popular and usually offers a more targeted approach than other mediums. For example, magazines include articles intended to attract a specific type of consumer, and the magazine makes this demographic information available to advertisers. The cost of newspaper and magazine ads vary depending on the size, location, color, and type, and the effectiveness of the ads often depends on the number of subscribers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/PrintAdsSizes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Basic Print Advertisement Sizes(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">Internet Ads<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p class=\"well\">Online advertising involves using the Web to deliver a marketing message and can consist of banner ads, text ads, video ads, pay-per-click advertising, and more. You may also choose to use your own Website to display a banner ad to visitors. While the effectiveness of online advertising depends on how many people actually view the ad, this method also allows the advertiser to track the number of impressions received (how many people see the ad). Another advantage is that online advertising can be viewed by anyone, anywhere, at any time, so your message can receive plenty of exposure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/WebBannerAdsSizes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Web Banner Advertisement Sizes(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">Email Ads<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p class=\"well\">Email advertising involves sending email announcements to your current subscribers and to friends and others who have an interest in your organization.

In addition, radio is one of the few portable media available that can follow consumers almost everywhere, whether it\u2019s in the car, at a doctor\u2019s appointment waiting room, a bustling supermarket, or even during the day at business and professional offices nationwide. Since radio is typically a local media, it\u2019s a great resource to announce local events. Also, developing a radio spot is relatively easy. Unlike other news outlets, radio can be flexible and quickly modified, based on new information. Furthermore, because consumers hear radio advertisements repeatedly, they are more likely to retain the information.<br \/>\nThere are two main ways to utilize radio: a paid radio spot (advertising) or a public service announcement (PSA).<br \/>\nA PSA is an often free announcement, which promotes programs, activities, or services of federal, state, or local governments or the programs, activities or services of non-profit and other announcements regarded as serving community interests, excluding time signals, routine weather announcements and promotional announcements. The most common topics of PSAs are health and safety.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/SampleRadioAds.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Sample Radio Advertisement(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/HowToWritePiblicServiceAnnouncement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">How to Write a Public Service Announcement(PSA)(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/SamplePublicServiceAnnouncements.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Sample Public Service Announcements(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n<p>\t#accordions-670 .accordions-head{\n\t\tcolor:#3b5998;\n\t\tfont-size:20px;\n\t\tbackground:#cccccc;\n\t\t}\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t#accordions-670 .ui-accordion-header-active{\n\t\tbackground: #cccccc;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t}#accordions-670 .accordions-head .accordion-icons{\n\t\t\t\tright: 10px;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#accordions-670 .child-accordion .accordions-head .accordion-icons{\n\t\t\t\tright: 10px;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t}<\/p>\n<\/style>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">#accordions-670{}\n#accordions-670 .accordions-head{border:2px solid #e3e3e3; height:50px;}\n#accordions-670 .accordion-content{border:1px solid #e3e3e3 !important;}<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">First Responder Safety Training Press Releases<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p class=\"well\">Members of the media use press releases to develop stories and prioritize news for a specific day or week. A successful reporter knows how to take a well-written press release and turn it into a great story by conducting follow-up interviews and research to inform his or her readers or viewers about certain issues.<br \/>\nAll press releases should answer the five Ws and one H (who, what, when, where, why, and how). They are typically written in the inverted pyramid structure, which places the most important and relevant details at the top. As the release continues, the information, at least in the editor\u2019s or reporter\u2019s eyes, is less important. This facilitates copy editors to cut from the bottom, allowing the story to fit on the page while keeping the overall meaning of the piece.<br \/>\nMost press releases should not exceed one page of content. Boilerplates, or background paragraphs about relevant organizations, can be tacked on to a second page.<br \/>\nSend releases to your established media contacts; most reporters, editors, and producers prefer email, but some still respond to faxes. Give them enough time to plan to cover your event or to do follow-up interviews.<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/RecruitingParticipants.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Pre-Event Press Release for Recruiting Particpants(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/PromoteTrainingtoPublic.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Pre-Event Press Release to Promote Training to Public(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/PressRelease.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Post-Event Press Release(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n<p>\t#accordions-667 .accordions-head{\n\t\tcolor:#3b5998;\n\t\tfont-size:20px;\n\t\tbackground:#cccccc;\n\t\t}\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t#accordions-667 .ui-accordion-header-active{\n\t\tbackground: #cccccc;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t}#accordions-667 .accordions-head .accordion-icons{\n\t\t\t\tright: 10px;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t#accordions-667 .child-accordion .accordions-head .accordion-icons{\n\t\t\t\tright: 10px;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t}<\/p>\n<\/style>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">#accordions-667{}\n#accordions-667 .accordions-head{border:2px solid #e3e3e3; height:50px;}\n#accordions-667 .accordion-content{border:1px solid #e3e3e3 !important;}<\/style>\n<\/div><div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">Why First Responder Safety Training is Important Media Relationships<\/span><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div><div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\"><p class=\"well\">Considering the specialized goals of the Clean Cities Learning Program, it is generally best to establish relationships with one or two specialist journalists instead of taking a scattered approach. If you do this, the journalists are more likely to become accustomed with your topics and to report on them accurately. They may also view you as an expert, which will improve your and your organization\u2019s reputation. Use the downloadable Suggested Contact List to find specialized media in your area.<br \/>\nPaid media placement is another way to promote your program and events.

One of the most common topics reporters will address is the safety aspect of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. When communicating with the media, be sure to stick to your message regarding reduced dependence on foreign oil and cleaner air for the future. Stay away from the word \u201cdangerous.\u201d Help the media to understand that these next generation vehicles are simply \u201cdifferent,\u201d so first responders need to know how to properly respond to accidents in order to keep drivers and themselves safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/InterviewTipsST.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">First Responder Safety Training During an Interview(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/SituationTips.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">First Responder Safety Training In an Emergency Tips(.pdf) <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/EmergencyTipsST.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">First Responder Safety Training Difficult Situations Tips(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"well well-sm pdfTab Noline\">\n\t<a class=\"block mLeftnRight\" href=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FuelSpecificTipsST.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">First Responder Safety Training Answering Fuel-Specifi Questions Information(.pdf)<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/pdf1.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"accordions-head-title\">First Responder Safety Training Workshop and Event Materials<\/span><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><span class=\"accordion_span_icons\" style=\"background-color:#888888\"><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-plus arrow-dark\"><\/i><i class=\"accordion-icons accordion-minus arrow-dark\"><\/i><\/span><\/div><div style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333\" class=\"accordion-content\"><p class=\"well\">Now that you have successfully planned and promoted your First Responder Safety Training, you are ready to delve into the materials you will need to execute the workshop.
