Effects of Advertising
GOAL #1: Discuss the effects of advertising on consumers and market share
Advertising helps marketers increase or maintain brand awareness and, subsequently, market share.
Typically, more is spent to advertise new brands with a small market share than to advertise older brands.
Brands with a large market share use advertising mainly to maintain their share of the market.
Effect of Advertising
Advertising affects consumers’ daily lives as well as their purchases.
Although advertising can seldom change strongly held consumer attitudes and values, it may transform a consumer’s negative attitude toward a product into a positive one.
Finally, advertising can also change the importance of a brand’s attributes to consumers.
By emphasizing different brand attributes, advertisers can change their appeal in response to consumers’ changing needs to try to achieve an advantage over competing brands.

Types of Advertising
Advertising is any form of (a) non-personal, (b) paid communication in which the (c) sponsor or company is identified.
The two major types of advertising are institutional advertising and product advertising.
Institutional advertising is not product-oriented; rather, its purpose is to foster a positive company image among the general public, investment community, customers, and employees.
Product advertising is designed primarily to promote goods or services, and it is classified into three main categories: pioneering, competitive, and comparative.

Creative Decisions in Advertising
Before any creative work can begin on an advertising campaign, it is important to determine what goals and objectives the advertising is desired to achieve.
The objectives of a specific advertising campaign often depend on the overall corporate objectives and the product being advertised, and are often determined using the DAGMAR approach.

Creative Decisions
Message execution is the way an advertisement portrays its information.
The AIDA plan is a good means of executing an advertising message.
An ad should immediately get attention, and hold consumers’ interest, create desire for the good, and motivate the action of purchase.
Exhibit 16.2 provides examples of executional styles used by advertising.
Executional styles often dictate the type of media utilized.

Achieving Objectives
Marketing managers can use sales promotion to increase the effectiveness of their promotional efforts.
Sales promotion can target either trade or consumer markets.
Trade promotions may push a product through the distribution channel using sales contests, premiums, P-O-P displays, trade allowances, push money, training, free merchandise, store demonstrations, and business meetings.
Consumer promotions may push a product through the distribution channel using coupons, rebates, premiums, loyalty marketing programs or frequent buyer programs, contests, sweepstakes, sampling, and point-of-purchase displays.
The biggest trend in sales promotions on both the trade and consumer side has been the increased use of(surprise!!) the Internet.
