The TOMA Program
What It Is and Why It Works!

Phase One, The Survey
The TOMA survey is a simple yet extremely persuasive sales tool used to sell non-advertisers. The survey measures "Top of Mind Awareness" of local businesses. This research, combined with our sales training techniques, is proven to diversify account bases and acquisition of one and two year contracts from non-advertisers, including professional and service businesses.


The workshop provides immediate ROI and is the most imperative part of the program. The workshop is an informative, lively presentation by a TOMA expert. How to compete against big box stores and the best way to advertise in the Yellow Pages are just two of the subjects covered in the first part of the workshop. The second half will be opened up to the sponsoring media company to feature all their products. TOMA experts will be available to help show the results of the local TOMA survey to attendees and help write new business on the spot!

Live Services
The most powerful part of the TOMA program is the TOMA Workshop. These lively and informative 2-hour sessions allow for a large audience of business owners and managers to discover the benefits of creative, long-term, consistent advertising campaigns. We demonstrate the principles of share of mind, the relationship of share of mind to market share, how to grow both and how to budget appropriately, both in yellow pages and creative advertising. Additionally, the TOMA Workshops allow us to showcase your media's product line that will help these local businesses meet their growth objectives.
