Article Abstract:
Local prefabricated house retailers can turn to advertising to better compete with their larger competitors, which have lately been buying out smaller competitors or building huge sales centers in small communities.

However, to be successful, one's advertising must be planned based on the budget, target audiences, market opportunities, and media mix and schedules.
