48. Case Study:
Marketing Strategy & Media Planning
Findings
Most yogurt companies use magazine, network, spot,
and cable television advertising.
“Magazine advertising offers high quality production and
color, flexible scheduling, selective readership, and
flexibility in format. Readers can linger over
advertisements, developing a more lasting effect with
potential customers. Television allows the use of
demonstration and visuals, has mass coverage, has a
bigger impact on consumers with the combination of
sight and sound, is versatile and has a higher repetition
rate”.
49. Case Study:
Marketing Strategy & Media Planning
Findings (cont‟d.)
Outdoor, newspaper, and network radio advertising are
rarely used.
“Outdoor advertising requires a short message, limiting
creativity and legal restrictions. Newspaper
advertisements offer poor production quality and radio
advertisements offer no visuals and are easily ignored.
Yogurt companies want their products to look appetizing
and delicious, which is not easily depicted in newspaper
or radio advertising.”
50. Case Study:
Marketing Strategy & Media Planning
Strategy
Expand into magazine advertising because it has the
advantages of a flexible schedule, a higher quality of
production, flexibility in format, and selective readership
that permits segmentation.
Use more non-traditional media like adding coupons to
grocery store flyers with newspapers to get new
customers to purchase product for the first time.

“And while Chobani sits atop the yogurt category, the
explosive growth of the Greek-yogurt trend means an
influx of competition by big marketers with hefty ad
budgets.
