Study Notes

Advertising: A Powerful Message

Advertising is a planned message designed to promote products, services, or ideas for the purpose of selling.
It reaches audiences through diverse forms of media such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, internet, direct mail, outdoor signs, transit signs, window displays, point-of-purchase displays, telephone directories, and novelties.
Effective advertisements must first attract attention and generate interest.
They then transition to building desire for a product and providing a method for taking action.
Advertisers use SWOT analyses to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to inform advertising campaigns.

Understanding the Target

Advertisers focus on promoting a products unique selling proposition (USP) using the biggest idea that encapsulates the USP for communication to target audiences.
Target audiences are the group of people an advertisement is directed to, and their responses ultimately determine its effectiveness.
Targeting is the process of recognizing the specific group of individuals within the desired audience.

Evolving Advertising Landscape

Global markets, expanded due to the reduction of trade barriers, require multinational marketing strategies.
Advertising must evolve to keep up with technological advancements and embrace interaction with consumers.
Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) unifies all marketing communication messages and tools to send a consistent message aligning with brand goals.

Unveiling Types of Advertising

Consumer advertising targets domestic markets, including individuals and families, to introduce or reintroduce products and services for daily use and consumption.
Institutional advertising promotes a company rather than specific goods or services to build brand awareness and image.
Retail advertising aims to encourage consumer patronage and promote store loyalty rather than focusing on specific brands.
