2. What is Advertising?

nonpersonal presentation and
promotion of ideas, goods, or services
by an identified sponsor.

3. The Five M’s of Advertising
• Mission—setting goals and advertising objectives
• Money—contingent upon stage in PLC, market
share, consumer base, competitions, advertising
frequency, product substitutability.
• Message—generation, evaluation, selection,
execution, social-responsibility.
• Media—reach, frequency, impact, types, vehicles,
timing, geographic scope
• Measurement—communication impact, sales
impact
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-3

4. Advertising Objectives
• Informative—to create brand awareness
and knowledge of new products or new
features of existing products
• Persuasive—to create liking preference,
conviction, and purchase of a product or
service.
• Reminder—to stimulate repeat purchase of
products and services
• Reinforcement—to convince current
purchasers that they made the right choice.

18-4

5. Factors to Consider in Setting an
Advertising Budget
• Stage in the product life cycle
—new products (large advertising budgets to build awareness and to gain
consumer trial)
—established brands (lower advertising budgets, measured as a ratio to
sales)
• Market share and consumer base
—high-market-share brands (less advertising expenditure as a percentage of
sales to maintain share)
—build share by increasing market size (requires larger expenditures)
• Competition and clutter
—market with a large number of competitors and high advertising spending
(brand must advertise more heavily to be heard).
• Advertising frequency
—number of repetitions needed to put across the brand’s message to
consumers impacts advertising budget
• Product substitutability
—brands in less-well-differentiated or commodity-like product class (beer, soft
drinks, banks, and airlines) require heavy advertising to establish a
differential image.

6. Developing the
Advertising Campaign
• Message generation and evaluation
—what the ad attempts to convey about the
brand
• Creative development and execution
—how the ad expresses the brand claims
• Legal and social issues
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-6

7. PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING
• IN ORDER TO STATE THE PURPOSE:
• MUST DECIDE THE PRECISE ACTION WE
WANT THE TARGET AUDIENCE TO TAKE
AFTER WATCHING, READING, OR LISTENING
TO THE AD
• PURPOSE IS:
• TO PERSUADE SOMEONE TO DO
SOMETHING
• MUST DECIDE
• WHO
• WHAT TO DO
7

8. PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING-CONTINUED
• ADVERTISING IS THE CAUSE
• BEHAVIOR IS THE EFFECT
• BUY, USE, WRITE, CALL, VISIT DEALER, ORDER BY
PHONE
• COMPLETE STATEMENT INCLUDE BUSINESS
SOURCE
• KEY TO MARKETING DEFINITION IS
SUBSTITUTABILITY
• WHICH PRODUCTS MIGHT THE BRAND BE
INTERCHANGEABLE
• SET OF PRODUCTS MIGHT BE SMALLER OR
LARGER THAN THE SET OF PRODUCTS BY WHICH
THE CATEGORY IS TRADITIONALLY DEFINED
8

9. BARRIER THEORY
• CAN ANY OF THE PROMOTIONAL
ELEMENTS OVERCOME THESE
BARRIERS IN THE CONSUMER DECISION
PROCESS?
• AWARENESS
• ACCEPTANCE
• PREFERENCE
• SEARCH
• SELECTION
• USE
• SATISFACTION
9

10. EXAMPLES OF PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING
• PURPOSE OF ADVERTISING IS TO
PERSUADE THE AUDIENCE:
• TO BUY RUFFLES INSTEAD OF
OTHER BRANDS OF POTATO CHIPS
• TO USE BISQUICK INSTEAD OF
PANCAKE MIX
• TO PERSUADE MEMBERS OF THE
TARGET AUDIENCE TO COME INTO
THE SHOWROOM FOR A TEST DRIVE
TO THE AUDI 80/90, RATHER THAN
OTHER HIGH-LINE SPORTS SEDANS
10

11. TARGET
• THE GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE THE BEST
PROSPECTS FOR THE ADVERTISER’S BRAND
• TO WHOM THE ADVERTISING WILL BE
ADDRESSED
• NEED A PERSON TO WRITE TO:
• BUSINESS TRAVELLERS WHO ARE LIKELY
TO STAY AT MID-PRICED HOTELS
• HEAVY USERS OF CHARCOAL
• YOUNG WOMEN WHO HAVE ACNE
PROBLEMS
• PEOPLE IN THE MARKET FOR AN EXPENSIVE
SPORTY EUROPEAN CAR
11

12. NEED TO KNOW DEMOGRAPHIC
AND PSYCHOGRAPHIC PROFILE
• BUSINESS TRAVELLERS WHO ARE LIKELY TO
STAY AT A MID-PRICE HOTEL, $45,000 TO
$75,000 ANNUAL INCOME. EIGHTY PERCENT
ARE MALES. THEY CHOOSE MID-PRICE
ACCOMMODATIONS BECAUSE THEY ARE
PAYING THEIR OWN WAY, OR BECAUSE THEIR
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS ARE LIMITED. THEY
WANT BASIC, CLEAN ACCOMMODATIONS WITH
A MINIMUM OF HASSLE. THEY ARE
FREQUENTLY TIRED, USUALLY INPATIENT, AND
ALWAYS CRITICAL. SMALL LUXURIES, SPECIAL
RESPECT AND ATTENTION ARE IMPORTANT TO
THEM
12

13. NEED TO KNOW DEMOGRAPHIC AND
PSYCHOGRAPHIC PROFILE--CONTINUED
• HEAVY USERS OF CHARCOAL,
FATHERS BETWEEN 25 AND 49.
MOST OF THEM LIVE IN THE
SUBURBS OR SEMIRURAL AREAS.
THEY GET A BIG KICK OUT OF
BARBECUING FOR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS. THEY WANT THE MEAT
TO TURN OUT JUST RIGHT
13

14. EXAMPLE OF PURPOSE AND
TARGET
•
PURPOSE
• TO PERSUADE FREQUENT NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON, DC
TRAVELLERS TO TAKE AMTRACK INSTEAD OF A PLANE
•
TARGET
• FREQUENT NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON TRAVELLERS ARE
LIKELY TO BE WELL-EDUCATED, WHITE-COLLAR
PROFESSIONALS CONDUCTING A DAY’S BUSINESS IN
EITHER CITY. THE NEARLY 10,000 PEOPLE WHO FLY DAILY
BETWEEN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON HAVE GROWN
ACCUSTOMED TO NO-FRILLS SERVICE, CROWDED SEATING
AND “CATTLE CAR” CONDITIONS. THEIR TIME IS AT A
PREMIUM AND, DESPITE AIRPORT DELAYS AND TRAVEL
TIME TO AND FROM AIRPORTS, THEY BELIEVE PLANES
PROVIDE THE SHORTEST TRIP POSSIBLE. SIXTY TO
SEVENTY PERCENT ARE MALES
14

15. PROMISE
• BENEFIT OR REWARD FOR BUYING OR USING
THE ADVERTISED BRAND
• WHEN I_________. I WILL__________.
• THE “I” IN THIS SENTENCE IS THE TARGET
AUDIENCE
• THE 1ST BLANK REPRESENTS THE PURPOSE
OF THE ADVERTISING
• THE 2ND BLANK REPRESENTS THE BENEFIT
• NUMBER OF PROMISES
• SINGLE MINDED OR ONE IN MOST CASES
• COMBINATION, RATHER THAN ONE BENEFIT, IF IT DEFINES
THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF THE BRAND (WEIGHT
WATCHERS’ ENTREES--REDUCED CALORIES AND GOOD
TASTE).
15

16. PROMISE IS THE HEART OF THE
STRATEGY
• THE BENEFIT IS IN THE MIND OF THE
CONSUMER, NOT IN THE PRODUCT.
PRODUCTS HAVE ATTRIBUTES, NOT BENEFITS
• THE BENEFIT IS A FUTURE EXPERIENCE. IT IS
AN (SUBJECTIVE) EXPERIENCE PROMISED TO
THE CONSUMER BY THE ADVERTISER AS A
REWARD FOR BUYING OR USING THE
ADVERTISED BRAND
• THE BENEFIT IS A CONCLUSION, TO BE DRAWN
BY THE CONSUMER FROM THE CAMPAIGN AS A
WHOLE. THE PROMISE IS NOT A COPY LINE.
THE WORDS USED IN THE STRATEGY MAY OR
MAY NOT EVER APPEAR IN THE ADVERTISING
16
ITSELF

17. EXAMPLES OF PURPOSE AND
BENEFIT
• WHEN I TAKE AMTRACK INSTEAD OF
THE PLANE FROM NEW YORK TO
WASHINGTON, DC (PURPOSE). I WILL BE
MORE COMFORTABLE, BETTER
TREATED, AND MORE VALUED (BENEFIT)
• WHEN I BUY INSURANCE FROM STATE
FARM INSTEAD OF FROM SOME OTHER
INSURANCE COMPANY (PURPOSE). I
WILL KNOW THAT A FRIENDLY STATE
FARM AGENT WILL BE AT MY SIDE IF I
NEED HELP (BENEFIT)
17

18. EXAMPLE OF BENEFITS
• PRACTICAL
• REWARDS WHICH COME FROM SAVINGS
TIME OR MONEY, OR EXPERIENCING GOOD
HEALTH
• SENSORY
• INTERESTING TEXTURE OR DELICIOUS
TASTE
• SOCIAL
• APPROVAL FROM FAMILY OR PEERS
• EGO-SATISFACTION
• PRIDE IN BEING A GOOD MOTHER, OR
FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT FROM
18

19. WHEN BENEFITS OCCUR
• WHILE THE PRODUCT IS BEING
USED
• AFTER THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN
USED
• AS AN INCIDENTAL BY-PRODUCT
OF THE PRODUCT’S MAIN EFFECT

21. SUPPORT
• LENDS CREDIBILITY TO THE
ADVERTISER’S PROMISE
• SUPPORT REFERS TO EVERYTHING
IN THE ADVERTISING THAT LENDS
CREDIBILITY TO THE
ADVERTISER’S PROMISE
• TWO TYPES OF SUPPORT
• INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
21

22. INTERNAL SUPPORT
• PRODUCT OR INTELLECTUAL FACTS
• WHEN I TAKE AMTRACK INSTEAD OF THE PLANE
FROM NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON (PURPOSE). I
WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE, BETTER TREATED,
AND MORE VALUED (BENEFIT) BECAUSE AMTRACK
PROVIDES WIDER SEATS, MORE LEG ROOM, BETTER
SERVICE, AND FREEDOM TO MOVE AROUND
(SUPPORT)
• DEMONSTRATIONS (SHOW BRAND AT WORK)
• LITERAL--SUFFER EXPERIENCE RELIEF ON SCREEN
• DRAMATIC--PART OF A PLAY--BUD LIGHT
22

23. EXTERNAL SUPPORT
• SUPPORT FOR THE PURPOSE OR
THE PROMISE OF THE
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
THROUGH THE USE OF:
• SALES PROMOTION
• PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAMS
• ADVERTISING INTENDED TO ELICIT
DIRECT RESPONSE
23

24. PROMISE VS SUPPPORT
• THE PROMISE IS THE MEANING TO
BE DRAWN FROM THE AD.
• PROMISE TO THE END
• THE SUPPORT IS THE MEANS BY
WHICH THAT PROMISE IS
CONVEYED.
• SUPPORT IS THE MEANS
24

25. WHERE TO LOOK FOR SUPPORT
• BACKGROUND MUST COME FROM
CONSUMERS
• PRODUCT TESTING
• CONSUMER SURVEYS
• USER THEMSELVES (i.e., WRITER OF
AD)
• MUST BE RELEVANT TO TARGET
• MUST OPERATE IN A COMPETITIVE
WORLD
25

26. ROI
•
RELEVANCE
• MESSAGE MUST BE RELEVANT--TO PRODUCT, TARGET,
AND SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR ADVERTISER INTENDED TO
PROMOTE
• ATTRIBUTE IS NOT SUPPORT FOR PROMISE UNTIL
CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS HOW ATTRIBUTE MAKES
BRAND A BETTER SATISFIER OF NEEDS
•
ORIGINALITY
• NEEDS TO BE ORIGINAL TO ATTRACT ATTENTION--BREAK
THE PATTERN
•
IMPACT
• ABILITY TO BREAK THROUGH INDIFFERENCE AND FOCUS
ATTENTION UPON MESSAGE THE ADVERTISEMENT IS
INTENDED TO CONVEY
• INTRUSIVENESS--TWO SOURCES: MEDIA AND STRUCTURE
OF ADVERTISING MESSAGE--ELEMENT OF SURPRISE
26

27. LEGS
• IMPACT OF AN INDIVIDUAL
ADVERTISEMENT OR LONG-TERM
CAMPAIGN
• IDEA MAY YIELD EFFECTIVE
VARIATION--LONG WAY
• JOE GREEN COMMERCIAL
27

28. BRAND PERSONALITY
• DEFINTION
• CONSISTENCY OF TRAITS (DRESS, SPEECH, LOOKS,
HABITS, TRAITS THAT GO TOGETHER IN A MORE-ORLESS COHERENT WAY) AND PREDICTABILITY
(CONSISTENCY OVER TIME)
• BRAND
• SET OF ENDURING CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS WHICH
FORMS A BASIS FOR EXPECTATION OF BRAND
BENEFITS
• INTERNALLY CONSISTENT, TRAITS MUST FIT
TOGETHER, PACKAGE, PRICE, LOOK, SOUND, SMELL,
SIZE, NAME, COLOR, SHAPE--MUST HAVE A SINGLE
THEME
28

29. BRAND PERSONALITY--CONTINUED
• BRAND PERSONALITY
• SEPARATES THE BRAND FROM ITS COMPETITORS
• PREDICTS THE FUTURE EXPERIENCE WITH THAT
BRAND
• ROLE OF ADVERTISING
• BECOMES PART OF THE IMAGE AND TELL WHAT THE
BRAND IS
• BUSH BEER--HONEST, RUGGED, MANNLY
• STATE FARM INSURANCE--STRAIGHT-FORWARD,
WARM, A GOOD NEIGHBOR
• METROLINER--CIVILIZED, INVITING,
COMFORTABLE, CLEAN, DEPENDABLE, SAFE
29

30. MEDIA
• MEDIA
• WHAT MEDIA WILL MATCH THE PURPOSE OF THE
ADVERTISING?
• C.P.M. (COST PER THOUSAND IMPRESSIONS)
• WHAT MEDIA WILL DELIVER THE MESSAGE TO THE
TARGET AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST?
• WHAT IS THE AVAILABILITY, REACH AND FREQUENCY,
AND NEGOTIATED COST PER THOUSAND
IMPRESSIONS THAT THE ADVERTISER CAN SPEND
WHICH WILL ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE--TO REACH THE
TARGET, COMMUNICATE BENEFIT(S) AND
SUPPORTING EVIDENCE?
30

31. APERTURE
• WHEN, WHERE, AND UNDER WHAT
CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE TARGET BE MOST
RECEPTIVE TO THE MESSAGE
• WHEN THE RELEVANT DECISION GETS MADE
• MOTHER’S DAY, FATHER’S DAY, EASTER,
CHRISTMAS--ALL INCREASE INTEREST IN PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE TIMES
• BREAKFAST EATERS THINK ABOUT WHAT TO HAVE
FOR BREAKFAST AT BREAKFAST TIME, AND ARE
LIKELY TO BE OPEN TO MESSAGE ON MORNING
RADIO
• PLACE WHERE THE DECISIONS GETS MADE
• UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES THE DECISION
31
GETS MADE

32. EXAMPLES OF APERTURE
• READING FASHION MAGAZINE, MAY MAKE
INTERESTED READER EVEN MORE
INTERESTED IN MESSAGES ABOUT EXERCISE,
DIET, MAKEUP, OR CLOTHES
• MICHELIN PLACED MESSAGES IN WEATHER
REPORTS ON CABLE TELEVISION’S WEATHER
CHANNEL. THE PREMISE WAS THAT DRIVERS
WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WEATHER
MIGHT ALSO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
SECURITY, AND MIGHT THEREFORE BE
ESPECIALLY RECEPTIVE TO MESSAGES
CONCERNING MICHELIN TIRES
32

33. FIVE VENUES
• DEFINITION
• EACH VENUE REPRESENTS A
DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE ADVERTISED
PRODUCT AND THE SOURCE OF
BUSINESS--PRODUCT (MIGHT BE
BOUGHT OR USED INSTEAD)
33

34. VENUE ONE
• OBVIOUS SUPERIORITY
• FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER--ROI
• EXPAND THE CATEGORY
• PREPARE FOR COMPETITIVE
RESPONSE
34

35. VENUE TWO
• MARGINAL SUPERIORITY
• LINKS BETWEEN MINOR PHYSICAL
DIFFERENCE AND MAJOR PSYCHOLOGICAL
NEEDS CAN PROVIDE DECISIVE
COMPETITIVE BENEFITS
• BUSH BEER--MINOR PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN BUSH AND OTHER BRANDS IS THE BUSH
MOUNTAIN LOGO. WHEN LINKED WITH THE
NOTION THAT BUSCH GOES DOWN “SMOOTH AS A
MOUNTAIN STREAM.” THE LOGO SYMBOLIZES A
COMPETITIVE LEVERAGE FOR THE BRAND
35

36. VENUE THREE
• PERCEIVED INFERIORITY
• TARGET THOSE WHO INFLUENCE THE
BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS
• CORRECTION OF ERRONEOUS BELIEFS-UNDERSTANDING WHY THE BELIEFS ARE
STILL HELD
• THE TARGET IS NEVER EVERYONE, EVEN
THOUGH EVERYONE MAYBE WRONG
• AMTRACK--UNREALIABLE, UNCOMFORTABLE, AND
PROBABLY LATE
36

37. VENUE FOUR
• REAL INFERIORITY
• SEEK OUT AND STRIKE AT ANY WEAKNESS
OF THE OTHERWISE SUPERIOR BRAND
• ADVERTISING MUST STILL PROMISE A
COMPETITIVE BENEFIT. COMPETITOR’S
WEAKNESS IS NOT ENOUGH
• CAN NOT BE SOLD BY ADVERTISING ALONE
• THE BEETLE--DEPENDABLE AND
ECONOMICAL, AND WOULD NOT GO
OUT OF STYLE
37

38. VENUE FIVE
•
PARITY
• IMPORT
• FOCUS ON A MAJOR BENEFIT THAT THE BRAND DOES
NOT PROVIDE BEFORE THE ADVERTISING STARTS-THAN THE BENEFITS BECOMES TIGHTLY LINKED TO THE
BRAND AND IT BECOMES A PROPERTY OF THE BRAND
• BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
• THE NIGHT BELONGS TO MICHELOB
• PREEMPT STRATEGY
• NON-EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT THAT THE BRAND ALREADY
PROVIDES IS MADE THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF
ADVERTISER’S BRAND
• LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
• WE SELL NO WINE BEFORE ITS TIME
• SINGLE MINDED
• PERSONALITY
38

39. SUMMARY OF ROI
FIVE BASIC QUESTIONS
• WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ADVERTISING?
• TO WHOM WILL THE ADVERTISING BE
ADDRESSED?
• WHAT COMPETITIVE BENEFIT WILL BE
PROMISED, AND HOW WILL THAT PROMISE BE
SUPPORTED?
• WHAT PERSONALITY WILL DISTINGUISH THE
BRAND?
• WHEN, WHERE AND UNDER WHAT
CIRCUMSTANCE WILL THE TARGET BE MOST
RECEPTIVE TO THE MESSAGE? AND, WHAT
MEDIA WILL DELIVER THAT MESSAGE TO THAT
TARGET AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE COST?
39

40. Problem--Multiple Vitamin Supplements
•
Multiple vitamin supplements make up a large, well-established market
with a substantial number of different brands and manufacturers. The
market also displays a wide variety of marketing approaches even
though the products themselves are largely homogeneous in physical
characteristics. The differences in marketing approaches revolve around
the choice of distribution channel. There are five different marketing
approaches that are currently in use. They are:
Mail Order—vitamins offered through catalogs mailed directly to prospective
consumers. Price to the consumer is low.
Proprietary—vitamins sold through retail drug, food, and discount stores and
advertised to consumers by the manufacturer. Retail price is high.
Ethical—vitamins sold through drugstores and sold to consumers based on
recommendations from doctors or druggists. Retail price is high.
Door-to-Door—vitamins sold directly to consumers in their home by
salespeople of the manufacturer. Price to consumers is high.
Private Label—vitamins sold to druggists for resale under the druggist’s own
label to consumers. Retail price is low.
Even if it is assumed that the product under each marketing approach is the same,
the advertising effort will vary substantially because of differences is price and
distribution channels.
For each marketing approach:
1)
will the amount of advertising tend to be high or low compared to the other
alternatives?
2)
what will be the task of advertising?

42. Media Selection—finding the most costeffective media to deliver the desired
number and types of exposures
• Reach—the number person or households exposed
to a particular media schedule at least once during a
specified time period
• Frequency—the number of times within the
specified time period that an average person or
household is exposed to the message
• Impact—the qualitative value of an exposure
through a given medium
• Exposure—reach X frequency = Exposure or gross
rating point

18-42

43. Choosing Among Major Media Types
•
•
•
•
Target audience and media habits—radio and television are
the most effective media for reaching teens
Product characteristics—media types have different potential
for demonstration, visualization, explanation, believability, and
color. Women’s dresses are best shown in color magazines,
but high-tech products requiring dynamic presentation such as
digital cameras, printers, or cell phone are best demonstrated
on television
Message characteristics—timeliness and information content
will influence media choice. A message announcing a major
sales tomorrow will require radio, TV, or newspaper. A
message containing a great deal of technical data might require
specialized magazines or mailings
Cost—television is very expensive, whereas newspaper
advertising is relatively inexpensive. What counts is the cost
per thousand exposures.

47. Measures of Audience Size
• Circulation—the number of physical
units carrying the advertising
• Audience—the number of people
exposed to the vehicle (if the vehicle
has pass-on readership, then the
audience is larger than circulation
• Effective audience—the number of
people with target audience
characteristics exposed to the vehicle
• Effective ad-exposed audience—the
number of people with target audience
characteristics who actually saw the ad
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-47

48. Evaluating Advertising
Effectiveness
•
•
Communication Effect Research
• Consumer feedback method—ask consumer questions
(e.g., What is the main message you get from this ad? How
likely is it that this ad will influence you to undertake the
action?)
• Portfolio tests—consumers view or listen to a portfolio of
advertisements. Consumer are than asked to recall all the
ads and their content, aided or unaided by the interviewer.
Recall level indicates an ad’s ability to stand out and to
have its message understood and remembered.
• Laboratory tests—use of equipment to measure
physiological reactions—heartbeat, blood pressure, pupil
dilation, galvanic skin response, perspiration—to an ad; or
consumers may be asked to turn a knob to indicate their
moment-to-moment liking or interest while viewing
sequenced material
Sales-Effect Research—What sales are generated by an ad
that increases brand awareness by 20% and brand preference
by 10%
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-48

49. Print Ad Evaluation Criteria
•
•
•
•
Is the message clear at a glance?
Is the benefit in the headline?
Does the illustration support the headline?
Does the first line of the copy support or
explain the headline and illustration?
• Is the ad easy to read and follow?
• Is the product easily identified?
• Is the brand or sponsor clearly identified?
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-49

50. Factors Affecting Timing Patterns
• Buyer turnover
—rate at which new buyers enter the market (the
higher this rate, the more continuous the
advertising should be)
• Purchase frequency
—the number of times during the period that the
average buyer buys the product (the higher the
purchase frequency, the more continuous the
advertising should be)
• Forgetting rate
—the rate at which the buyer forgets the brand (the
higher the forgetting rate, the more continuous the
advertising should be)
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-50

51. Media Schedule Patterns
• Continuity
—exposures appear evenly throughout the period
• Concentration
—spending all advertising dollars in a single period
• Flighting
—advertising for a period, followed by a period with
no advertising, followed by a second period of
advertising activity
• Pulsing
—continuous advertising at low-weight levels
reinforced periodically by waves of heavier
activity
Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
18-51

52. Most Organizations Use One of These
Three Scheduling Strategies
52

53. Measuring Sales Impact of Advertising
• Share of expenditures
• Share of voice—proportion of company advertising
of that product to all advertising of that product
• Share of mind—percentage of customers who
named the competitor in response to the statement,
“Name the first company that comes to mind in this
industry.”
• Share of heart—percentage of customers who
name the competitor in responding to the statement,
“Name the first company from which you would
prefer to buy the product.”
• Share of market
