A person interested in advertising called and said they were thinking of advertising with DoingItLocal or Facebook. I asked him to name one advertisement he remembers on Facebook. He couldn’t think of any. Then I asked him to name one on DoingItLocal and he immediately said ServPro and Interstate. The key to advertising is to be remembered.
