During its first ten years of operations, the company was known primarily for its sweat-wicking clothing line. In late 2010, however, Under Armour released its first line of basketball shoes since the company’s inception. "Along with the new product line, the company must have a new brand image," said Plank. “I called our marketing team and asked them to go through this building and find anything that says that we are only an apparel brand and throw it away.” The company has also removed all advertisements carrying the word “apparel,” and will begin exploring new ways to promote the brand. The company hopes its new efforts will allow the company to be viewed as an overall “performance” company, which will ultimately enable it to compete with footwear from powerhouses Nike and Adidas, and will help increase its current 1.1 percent market share.

88. (Scenario 1-1) One of Under Armour’s new retail outlets in the U.S. sends a direct mail to 500 households within a one mile radius of the new store. In the email, the store announces the introduction of its new line of basketball shoes and offers incentives to any customer that walks into the store to purchase a pair of shoes from the new line.

This direct mail: a. is paid for, mass mediated, and an attempt to persuade; therefore, it can be considered as advertising. b. is paid for and is an attempt to persuade; however, it is only distributed locally and therefore, cannot be considered as advertising. c. is not received by a large enough number of people to be considered as advertising. d. is not a part of an advertising campaign and thus, cannot be considered as advertising.

Advertising is a paid, mass-mediated attempt to persuade.

The three criteria that must be met for a communication to be considered as an advertisement are that it must be paid for, it must be mass mediated, and it must be an attempt to persuade.

A public service advertisement is mass mediated and involves an attempt to persuade.

116. Describe briefly what a target audience means. Discuss any two audience categories.

ANSWER:

A target audience is a particular group of consumers singled out by an organization for an advertising or IBP campaign. These target audiences are singled out because the firm has discovered that these specific audience members like the product category and might prefer their particular brand within that product category. Target audiences are always potential audiences because a company can never be sure that the message will actually get through to them as intended.

Audience Categories: Household consumers: They are the most conspicuous audience because most mass media advertising is directed at them.

Members of business organizations: They are the target of advertising for firms that produce business or industrial goods and services. Not-for-profit businesses such as universities, some research laboratories, philanthropic groups, and cultural organizations also represent an important and separate business audience for advertising.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives. These four areas of responsibility and decision making in marketing are referred to as the "marketing mix." The word mix is used to describe the blend of strategic emphasis on the product versus its price versus its promotion (including advertising) versus its distribution when a brand is marketed to consumers. This blend, or mix, results in the overall marketing program for a brand.

Advertising is important, but it is only one of the major areas of marketing responsibility and it is only one of many different IBP tools relied on in the marketing mix.

118. A brand is greatly shaped and impacted by advertising. List five ways in which advertising influences brand management and explain each of them briefly.

ANSWER:

Advertising can affect a brand in five broad ways: By informing and persuading: Target audiences can learn about a brand’s features and benefits through advertising. No other variable in the marketing mix is designed to accomplish this communication.

By introducing new brands or brand extensions: Advertising is absolutely critical when organizations introduce a new brand or extensions of existing brands to the market.When brand extensions are brought to market, advertising and IBP play a key role in attracting attention to the brand—so much so that researchers now suggest that “managers should favor the brand extension with a greater allocation of the ad budget. This is often accomplished with advertising working in conjunction with other promotional activities such as sales promotions and point-of purchase displays.

By building and maintaining loyalty among consumers: Loyalty to a brand is one of the most important assets a firm can have. Brand loyalty occurs when a consumer repeatedly purchases the same brand to the exclusion of competitors’ brands. Even though brand features are the most important influence on building and maintaining brand loyalty, advertising plays a key role in the process as well. Advertising reminds consumers of those brand features—tangible and intangible.

By creating an image and meaning for a brand: Advertising can communicate how a brand fulfills needs and desires and therefore plays an important role in attracting customers to brands that appear to be useful and satisfying. It can also help link a brand’s image and meaning to a consumer’s social environment and to the larger culture, and in this way, advertising can actually deliver a sense of personal connection for the consumer.

By building and maintaining brand loyalty within the trade: Wholesalers, retailers, distributors, and brokers can favor one brand over others given the proper support from a manufacturer. Advertising and particularly advertising integrated with other brand promotions is an area where support can be given.

Advertising helps a firm implement the important market strategies of market segmentation, differentiation, and positioning.

Market segmentation is the process of breaking down a large and widely varied market (a heterogeneous market) into many smaller sub-markets or segments (homogeneous markets) based on certain consumer characteristics. Underlying the strategy of market segmentation are the facts that consumers differ in their wants and that the wants of one person can differ under various circumstances.

Differentiation is the process of creating a perceived difference, in the mind of the consumer, between a brand and its competition.The perceived differences can be tangible differences, or they may be based on image or style factors. The critical issue in differentiation is that consumers perceive a difference between brands.

Positioning is the process of designing a brand so that it can occupy a distinct and valued place in the target consumer’s mind relative to other brands. This distinctiveness can be communicated through advertising. The importance of positioning can be understood by recognizing that consumers create a perceptual space in their minds for all the brands they might consider purchasing. A perceptual space is how one brand is seen on any number of dimensions—such as quality, taste, price, or social display value—in relation to those same dimensions in other brands.

What is integrated marketing communication (IMC)? Discuss the differences between integrated marketing communication and integrated brand promotion (IBP).

ANSWER: Beginning in about 1990, the concept of mixing various promotional tools was referred to as integrated marketing communications (IMC). However, the reality of promotional strategies in the 21st century demands that the emphasis on communication give way to an emphasis on the brand. IMC emphasizes the communication effort per se and the need for coordinated and synergistic messages.

IBP retains the emphasis on coordination and synergy of communication but goes beyond the parameters of IMC. In IBP, the emphasis is on the brand and not just communication. With a focus on building brand awareness, identity, and ultimately preference, the IBP perspective recognizes that coordinated promotional messages need to have brand-building effects in addition to the communication effects.

Scenario 2-5 In 2008, Chicago native Andrew Mason launched Groupon, a website that offered Chicago consumers various “deals of the day.” At the time, Groupon had a unique business model—each day, one “groupon” would be offered in a particular city. If a certain number of people signed up for the offer, then the deal became available to all.

Now, only two years later, the business continues to grow, and the service is being offered in several more U.S. cities. Google made a multi-billion dollar offer for the company that Mason turned down in the December of 2010.

Continuing the company’s rapid rise to success will be a challenging task for CEO Andrew Mason and his team because they will be the first to attempt to advertise the unique services.

106. What is crowdsourcing? Explain.

ANSWER:

Crowdsourcing involves the online distribution of certain tasks to groups (crowds) of experts, enthusiasts, or even consumers. The idea behind crowdsourcing is to get consumers more involved with and committed to a brand in a way that passive, intrusive advertising simply cannot. Consumers help “build the brand” with recommendations for features or even advertising campaign images. They also can communicate about the brand to audiences in ways that seem natural and credible— something corporate-launched advertising struggles with.

107. Describe the role advertisers play for trade resellers.

ANSWER:

A trade reseller is a general description for all organizations in the marketing channel of distribution that buy products to resell to customers. Resellers can be retailers, wholesalers, or distributors. These resellers deal with both household consumers and business buyers at all geographic market levels.

Retailers that sell in national or global markets are the most visible reseller advertisers and promotion users. Regional retail chains, typically grocery chains or department stores serve multistate markets and use advertising suited to their regional customers.

At the local level, small retail shops of all sorts rely on newspaper, radio, television, and are a completely different breed of reseller. Technically, these types of companies deal only with business customers, since their position in the distribution channel dictates that they sell products either to producers (who buy goods to produce other goods) or to retailers (who resell goods to household consumers). Wholesalers and distributors have little need for mass media advertising over media such as television and radio.

Rather, they use trade publications, directory advertising such as the Yellow Pages and trade directories, direct mail, personal selling, and their Internet websites as their main advertising media.

108. Describe any three types of services commonly offered by advertising and promotion agencies.

ANSWER:

The types of services commonly offered by advertising and promotion agencies are as follows: Account Services: These services are offered by managers who have titles such as account executive, account supervisor, or account manager and who work with clients to determine how the brand can benefit most from advertising and IBP. Account services entail identifying the benefits a brand offers, its target audiences, and the best competitive positioning, and then developing a complete plan.

Marketing Research Services: Research conducted by an agency for a client usually consists of the agency locating studies (conducted by commercial research organizations) that have bearing on a client’s market or advertising and IBP objectives. The research group will help the client interpret the research and communicate these interpretations to the creative and media people.

Creative Services: The creative services group in an agency comes up with the concepts that express the value of a company’s brand in interesting and memorable ways. In simple terms, the creative services group develops the message that will be delivered through advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing, social networks, mobile marketing, event sponsorship, or public relations.

109. List and describe the four methods of agency compensation.

ANSWER:

Commission system: The traditional method of agency compensation is the commission system, which is based on the amount of money the advertiser spends on media. Under this method, 15 percent of the total amount billed by a media organization is retained by the advertising or promotion agency as compensation for all costs in creating advertising/promotion for the advertiser. The only variation is that the rate typically changes to 16 percent for outdoor media.

Markup charges: This method of agency compensation adds a percentage markup charge (sometimes referred to as cost-plus) to a variety of services the agency purchases from outside suppliers. In many cases, an agency will turn to outside contractors for art, illustration, photography, printing, research, and production. The agency then, in agreement with the client, adds a markup charge to these services.

Fee system: A fee system is much like that used by consultants or attorneys, whereby the advertiser and the agency agree on an hourly rate for different services provided. The hourly rate can be based on average salaries within departments or on some agreed-on hourly rate across all services. This is the most common basis for promotion agency compensation.

Pay-for-results: Many advertisers and agencies alike have been working on compensation programs called pay -for-results or incentive-based compensation that base the agency’s fee on the achievement of agreed-on results.

ANSWER:

Three new types of consultants have emerged in recent years.

The first is a database consultant, who works with both advertisers and agencies.

Organizations of this type help firms identify and then manage databases that allow for the development of integrated marketing communications programs. Another new type of consultant specializes in website development and management. These consultants typically have the creative skills to develop websites and corporate home pages and the technical skills to advise advertisers on managing the technical aspects of the user interface. The third type of consultant works with a firm to integrate information across a wide variety of customer contacts (including social media activities) and to organize all this information to achieve customer relationship management (CRM).

Scenario 3-1 In the early and mid-1800s, soaps were made from animal fats. The perishable quality of the soap, however, allowed manufacturers to sell a product with only regional appeal. This changed when soap makers began to use vegetable fats and perfume in the soap-making process.

According to Procter & Gamble, one batch of this vegetable-based soap was left to mix too long. The result was a product that floated in water due to an excess amount of air. The company turned this into a selling point and, in 1882, launched one of the first soaps with the potential for national sales—Ivory soap—with the slogans “It floats” and “99­44/100 percent pure.” (Stephen Fox, The Mirror Makers, [New York: Random House, 1984], 24.)

Scenario 3-2 When referring to the period of advertising known as the creative revolution, advertising pundit and practitioner Jerry Della Femina wrote, “Volkswagen was being handled in the United States by Fuller & Smith & Ross. Doyle Dane took over the account around 1959. One of the first ads that came out for Volkswagen was the first ad that anyone can remember when the new agency style came through with an entirely different look. The ad simply said, ‘Lemon.’ The copy for ‘Lemon’ said that once in a while we turn out a car that’s a lemon, in which case we get rid of it. We don’t sell them. And we are careful as hell with our cars, we test them before we sell them, so the chances are you’ll never get one of our lemons.

“For the first time in history an advertiser said that he was capable, on rare occasions, of turning out an inferior product . . .

Scenario 3-4 In 2010, Procter & Gamble, the world’s largest ad spender, teamed up with Walmart and NBC to create a number of prime-time family movies produced by P&G Productions. The films were designed to lure consumers to buy P&G products at Walmart using original family movies and exclusive ad buys. This was not the first time the two major brands teamed up to push family-oriented entertainment—in the late 1990s, both companies were launch members of the Association of National Advertisers' Alliance for Family Entertainment—the organization responsible for getting the WB’s Gilmore Girls on air. The two have each found great success as a result of the movies, with each seeing an increase both in sales and brand favorability scores.

Describe how the Industrial Revolution was a major factor that gave rise to advertising.

ANSWER:

The Industrial Revolution was an economic force that yielded the need for advertising.

It took Western societies away from household self-sufficiency as a method of fulfilling material needs to dependency on a marketplace as a way of life. It was a basic force behind the rapid increase in mass-produced goods that required stimulation of demand—something that advertising can sometimes be good at. By providing a need for advertising, the Industrial Revolution was a basic influence in its emergence and growth in Western economies.

Part of the Industrial Revolution was a revolution in transportation, dramatically symbolized by the east–west connection of the United States in 1869 by the railroad.

This connection represented the beginnings of the distribution network needed to move the mass quantities of goods for which advertising would help stimulate demand. In the 1840s, the principle of limited liability gained acceptance and resulted in the accumulation of large amounts of capital to finance the Industrial Revolution.

DIFFICULTY:

Rapid population growth and urbanization began taking place in the 1800s. Modernity gave rise to both urbanism and advertising. Overall, the growth and concentration of population provided the marketplaces that were essential to the widespread use of advertising. As the potential grew for goods to be produced, delivered, and introduced to large numbers of people residing in concentrated areas, the stage was set for advertising to emerge and flourish.

106. Outline the characteristics of the era of industrialization.

ANSWER:

Users of advertising in the mid-to late 1800s were trying to cultivate markets for growing production in the context of an increasing urban population. A middle class, spawned by the rise of regular wages from factory jobs, was beginning to emerge.

This newly developing population with the economic means to consume was concentrated geographically in cities.

By 1850, circulation of the dailies, as newspapers were then called, was estimated at 1 million copies per day. With the expansion of newspaper circulation fostered by the railroads and growing urban centers, a new era of opportunity emerged for advertising. Further, there were virtually no laws or regulations to restrict advertisers from saying or doing anything they cared to. Advertisers could outright lie, deceive, and otherwise cheat with little or no threat of being punished by government. Many advertisers took advantage of the situation and advertising was commonly considered an embarrassment (or worse) by many segments of society. At one point, firms even risked their credit ratings if they used advertising— banks considered the practice a sign of financial weakness.

107. How did the advertising industry of the 1920s undergo major changes as it evolved into the very different industry of the 1930s? Describe the change in consumer perception that occurred and the reasons for these social shifts.

ANSWER:

The ads of the 1920s exhorted the public to consume and enjoy life. The world of advertising found a previously unknown level of respectability, fame, and glamour as it persuaded Americans to live it up, enjoy life, and have it all, which could only be obtained by purchasing goods and services. Advertising instructed consumers how to be thoroughly modern and how to avoid the pitfalls or side effects of this new age. During this era, an endless consumption chain was created. Needs lead to products; new needs are created by the unintended side effects of modern times and new products; even newer products solve even newer needs, and on and on. The style of 1920s ads howed slices of life, or carefully constructed “snapshots” of social life with the product. In these ads, the relative position, background, and dress of the people using or needing the advertised product were carefully crafted, as they are today.

All this changed by the 1930s with the Great Depression, however. The harsh reality of massive poverty changed forever the way people thought about money, spending, government, and business, as well as advertising. Advertising was part of big businesses, and people believed that big business and big greed got America into the great economic depression. Advertising was now seen as a villain, blamed for seducing people into the excesses of the 1920s. Ads at this time reflected these dramatic changes. Advertisers responded to the depression by adopting a tough, nofrills advertising style. The stylish ads of the 1920s gave way to harsher, more cluttered, inappropriately sexual, and often egregiously unethical advertising.

108. What medium of advertising expanded and evolved during the Great Depression? Describe its role during the 1930s.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

A notable event during ion years was the emergence of radio as a significant advertising medium. During the 1930s, the number of radio stations rose from a handful to 814 by the end of the decade, and the number of radio sets in use more than quadrupled to 51 million. Radio was in its heyday as a news and entertainment medium. An important aspect of radio was its ability to create a sense of community in which people thousands of miles apart listened to and became involved with their favorite radio soap opera, so named in reference to the soap sponsors of these shows. Radio’s contribution to advertising history should not be underestimated, it not only ushered in the idea of broadcasting, but it also socialized consumers to depend on a connection to distant characters, programs, brands, and the idea that there were other people “out there” who shared this connection—a mass audience. Voices of radio friends from afar made good company particularly during hard times.

How did Americans view advertising after WWII? What overall emotions arose after WWII and how did ad agencies play on these sentiments?

ANSWER:

During this period, that consumer culture became the new normal, a permanent central feature of society. However, public sentiment toward advertising itself was different from what it had been in the 1920s, following World War I. Public attitudes toward advertising were more negative, more skeptical, and the public largely assumed that it was very powerful. At the same time, there was great concern about the rise of communism and its use of “mind control” in the Cold War.

The 1950s were about fear, and advertisers again leveraged the accompanying disruption. Fearful people might be coaxed into anything that made them feel more secure. But at the same time, that fear of being manipulated by “modern science” and “mind control” made them very wary of advertising. Like other times, advertisers would turn these anxieties, contradictions, and social disruptions into advertising strategies.

In this environment of mass fear, stories began circulating that advertising agencies were doing motivation research and using the “psychological sell,” which served only to fuel an underlying suspicion of advertising.

ANSWER:

In the late 1960s, advertising had finally changed in meaningful ways. For one, it became fairly self-aware. Advertising admitted being advertising. Ads during the late 1960s and into the early 1970s conveyed the sentiment, “ok, here’s an ad, you know it’s an ad—and so do we.” Advertising began to trade on insider status (we’re all in on it)—making fun of the straight and now silly ads of the 1950s and by playing to a sense of irony.

He was interested in that model because he had seen a number of television and magazine ads describing the car's features and reputation for reliability and the fact that it displayed the slogan " The best car in the world" urged him to look at the cars. After closely examining the stickers, Joe noticed a line that said "Dealer Promotion Allowance—$125.00."

Joe asked a salesperson what that meant. The salesman replied that it was a charge that helped the dealership pay for local advertising to encourage consumers to shop at that particular dealer. After further discussion, Joe learned that almost 5 percent of the cost of the vehicle comes from expense for national and local advertising.

95. (Scenario 4-4) After Joe complained, the salesperson replied, "If our industry didn't do so much advertising you probably couldn't afford to buy that computer to do your own research." Which of the following "pros" of advertising is the salesperson likely using to support his comment? a. Advertising fosters a diverse and affordable mass media. b.

Advertising educates consumers. In an essay, describe the pros of advertisement with reference to educating consumers.

ANSWER:

Advertising Informs - Supporters of advertising argue that advertising educates consumers, equipping them with the information they need to make informed purchase decisions. By regularly assessing information and advertising claims, consumers become more educated regarding the features, benefits, functions, and value of products. Further, consumers can become more aware of their own tendencies toward being persuaded by certain types of product information. Historically, the very positive position has been offered that advertising is “clearly an immensely powerful instrument for the elimination of ignorance.” Now, that might be a little bit overstated, but according to this argument, better educated consumers enhance their lifestyles and economic power through astute marketplace decision making—can’t argue with that!

A related argument is that advertising reduces product search time—that is, the amount of time an individual spends to search for desired products and services is reduced because of advertising, access to the Web, and mobile messages from advertisers. The large amount of information readily available through advertising and Web Sites allows consumers to easily assess information about the potential value of brands without spending time and effort traveling from retail store to retail store trying to evaluate each one. The information contained in an advertisement “reduces drastically the cost of search.”

Another aspect of informing the public has to do with the role advertising can play in communicating about important social issues.

111. List and describe the four aspects of how advertising lowers the cost of products.

ANSWER:

Four aspects of the nature of advertising, supporters argue, help lower the cost of products are: 1. Due to the economies of scale (it costs less to produce products in large quantities), partly created by advertising’s contribution to stimulating demand, products cost less than if there were no advertising at all. As broad-based demand stimulation results in lower production and administrative costs per unit produced, lower prices are passed on to consumers.

2. Consumers have a greater variety of choice in products and services because advertising increases the probability of success that new products will succeed. The more products that succeed, the fewer losses firms incur from failed product introductions. In the end, this should make products cost less.

3. The pressures of competition and the desire to have fresh, marketable brands motivate firms to produce improved products and brands and introduce lower-priced brands.

4. The speed and reach of the advertising process aids in the diffusion of innovations.

This means that new discoveries can be delivered to a large percentage of the marketplace very quickly. Innovations succeed when advertising communicates their benefits to the customer.

112. What are the three elements that declare an ad to be “deceptive”? What elements declare an ad to be “unfair”?

How is “puffery” related to these concepts?

ANSWER:

While any instance of a possibly unethical advertising message can always be debated, the law is quite clear about deception, but it is much more vague regarding unfairness.

An ad is considered "deceptive" if the following three elements are present, based on the FTC’s ruling: if it involves a representation,omission, or practice that may mislead the consumer; if this representation, omission, or practice is judged from the perspective of a consumer acting reasonably; and if the representation, omission, or practice is a material one that would affect the consumer’s conduct or decision making about the advertised product or service. Very broadly, deception is defined as the presence of false or misleading statements in an advertisement.

An ad is considered "unfair" based on 1990s legislation that says it needs to cause substantial injury to consumers that is not avoidable by consumers, and is not outweighed by benefits to consumers or competitors. This allows the FTC to assess both the benefits and costs of advertising, and it rules out reckless behaviors on the part of consumers, before a ruling can be made calling an ad unfair.

An ad includes "puffery" when superlatives or exaggerations are used that most reasonable people would understand as harmless claims or slogans. While such claims may not be technically “true” (“World’s Best Coffee!”), they are totally legal and are not considered to be either deceptive or unfair.

113. What are the three broad areas of advertising that are affected by the Federal Regulation? Briefly identify and explain each.

ANSWER:

The three areas affected by federal regulation involve deception and unfairness, competition, and children.

Issues involving "deception and unfairness" have historically been difficult to identify and prove. While most people would agree that both of these elements are unacceptable, there will always be differences in opinion as to exactly what is considered deceptive and exactly what is considered unfair. By the 1990s, the FTC and Congress worked together to more adequately define these concepts and the criteria involved.

Issues involving "competition" involve unfair practices among competitors, including cooperative advertising, comparison advertising, and monopoly power.

Issues involving children involve the nature and content of ads aimed at children, the volume of advertising within children’s programming, and the limits and sensitivities involved in pitching products to those who are unsophisticated regarding consumption and are unaware of the power of persuasion.

114. What are the four types of rulings that the FTC might enact in response to claims of unfairness or deception in an advertisement? Name and briefly define them, beginning with the most lenient and moving on to the strongest response.

ANSWER:

The FTC has four options when it responds to claims of unfairness or deception in an advertisement: consent order, cease and desist order, affirmative disclosure, and corrective advertisement.

A consent order allows an advertiser to agree to stop running a questionable ad without having to admit guilt. It is the simplest and least serious of responses that the FTC can enact.

A cease-and-desist order requires that the advertiser stop running the questionable ad, usually within 30 days so a hearing can be held to determine whether it is truly deceptive or unfair. If a product may have a direct effect on consumer’s health or safety, an immediate cease-and-desist order can be enacted.

An affirmative disclosure requires that the advertiser add important information that had been missing from previous ads, information that might cause consumers to make false assumptions about the product.

An order for corrective advertising requires that the advertiser run new ads that clarify misleading claims or that retract erroneous information that the consumer has been led to believe as true. This is the strongest and most extensive response that the FTC can enact.

115. A complaint concerning an allegedly misleading advertising practice by a carpet-cleaning service in the Houston area is filed with the local Better Business Bureau (BBB). Apparently, homeowners are expecting the price shown on the company’s direct mailings and newspaper coupons (a price confirmed at the time the appointment is made) but are quoted a much higher fee once the crew arrives and “inspects” the carpets. The company’s ads promise the latest in “green” cleaning materials and industrial techniques, but the cleaning fluids and equipment used by the crew are also suspect. Outline the path the complaint would take if it were to eventually arrive at the FTC. Specifically, list the organizations it would pass through, and in general terms, the actions that would need to be taken by each organization for the complaint to be forwarded on to federal regulators.

ANSWER:

In a situation like this, the local BBB reviews the issue, often sent in the form of a complaint by consumers or competitors. It sends the complaint to the National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. If the NAD staff cannot resolve the complaint with the advertiser, in this case the carpet-cleaning service, it is passed along to the National Advertising Review Board (NARB). Its review panel hears the advertiser’s case, reviews other evidence, and deliberates. It may dismiss the case, or it may convince the cleaning service to change the wording in its advertising. If it does neither, it will then publicly identify the case, the advertiser, and its findings, and then forward the complaint to the FTC.

Gap admitted that the idea of changing the company’s logo was probably not the right move nor was it the right time to do so. The company will look for other ways to develop the brand. Clearly, Gap’s reaction to consumer sentiments serves as proof that the company cares a great deal about consumer thoughts and opinions.

Scenario 5-2 Since its introduction to the market in 2007, Apple Inc.’s iPhone dominated other smartphones in terms of units activated per year. However, several years later, Apple faced stiff competition from Google’s Android software and Research in Motion, the maker of the Blackberry. The problem for Apple is that its competition, primarily phones powered by Android operating systems, largely outnumber the iPhone in terms of available options. In the U.S. alone, there are over twenty smartphones that run on the Android operating system, compared to Apple’s one iPhone. Americans are now buying more Android phones than iPhones. Experts claim that if the trend continues, Android will have erased the iPhone's once enormous lead in the high-end smartphone market in a little over a year.

Now more than ever, Apple, which insists on tight control of its devices, must find a way to win in an intensely competitive market against rivals that are openly licensing their software to scores of companies.

100. Discuss the need recognition state of the consumer decision making process.

ANSWER:

A need state arises when one’s desired state of affairs differs from one’s actual state of affairs. Need states are accompanied by a mental discomfort or anxiety that motivates action; the severity of this discomfort can be widely variable depending on the genesis of the need.

One way advertising works is to point to and thereby activate needs that will motivate consumers to buy a product or service. A variety of needs can be fulfilled through consumption, and it is reasonable to suggest that consumers’ needs are often sufficiently recognized and motivating to many consumers. Products and services should provide benefits that fulfill consumers’ needs; hence, one of the advertiser’s primary jobs is to make the connection between the two for the consumer.

101. What is cognitive dissonance? Discuss how advertisers can prevent dissonance.

ANSWER:

Advertising plays an important role in alleviating the cognitive dissonance that can occur after a purchase. Cognitive dissonance is the anxiety or regret that lingers after a difficult decision, sometimes called “buyer’s remorse.” Often, rejected alternatives have attractive features that lead people to second-guess their own decisions. If the goal is to generate satisfied customers, this dissonance must be resolved in a way that leads consumers to conclude that they did make the right decision after all. Purchasing high- cost items or choosing from categories that include many desirable and comparable brands can yield high levels of cognitive dissonance.

When dissonance is expected, it makes good sense for the advertiser to reassure buyers with detailed information about its brands. Postpurchase reinforcement programs might involve direct mail, email, or other types of personalized contacts with the customer. This postpurchase period represents a great opportunity for the advertiser to have the undivided attention of the consumer and to provide information and advice about product use that will increase customer satisfaction.

How does the extended problem solving mode of decision making differ from the limited problem solving mode of decision making?

ANSWER:

When consumers are inexperienced in a particular consumption setting, yet find the setting highly involving, they are likely to engage in extended problem solving. In this mode, consumers go through a deliberate decision-making process that begins with explicit need recognition, proceeds with careful internal and external search, continues through alternative evaluation and purchase, and ends with a lengthy postpurchase evaluation.

In contrast, limited problem solving is a more common mode of decision making. In this mode, experience and involvement are both low. A consumer is less systematic in his or her decision making. The consumer has a new problem to solve, but it is not a problem that is interesting or engaging, so the information search is limited to simply trying the first brand encountered.

103. Discuss how emotion plays an important role in consumer behavior.

ANSWER:

Emotion is incredibly important in consumer behavior. Researchers have shown that if a brand is associated with a positive emotion or feeling, the subsequent information about the brand is actually distorted in favor of the emotion-linked brand and against others. By this, we mean that consumers actually change the nature of incoming information to favor this emotional brand connection. It then affects subsequent consumer decisions in favor of the emotion-linked brand. This power favors the use of emotional branding techniques, brand relationship building, including advertising.

ANSWER:

Culture surrounds the creation, transmission, reception, and interpretation of ads and brands, just as it touches every aspect of consumption.Culture is what people do and is the way things are done. Cultures may be large and national, or they may be regional or local, or not geographic at all. It’s usually easier to see and note culture when it’s more distant and unfamiliar. Further, members of a culture often find the ways they do things to be perfectly natural and normal. Culture is also said to be nearly invisible to those who are immersed in it.

105. Describe how ads transmit meaning.

ANSWER:

Advertising can be thought of as a text. It is “read” and interpreted by consumers.

One can think of it as being like other texts: books, movies, posters, paintings, and so on. It is a creative product. In order to understand ads, one has to know something of the cultural code, or they would make no sense.

Advertisers place advertised products and a slice of social life in an ad to get the two to intermingle, to become part of the same social scene. In other words, the product is given social meaning by being placed within an ad that represents an idealized context. This slice of life, of course, is the type of social setting in which potential customers might find, or desire to find, themselves. According to McCracken’s model, meaning has moved from the world to the product (shoes) by virtue of its sharing space within the frame of the advertisement.

When advertisers put things within the frame of an ad, they want the reader of the ad to put them together seamlessly, to take them together as part of each other. When a consumer purchases or otherwise incorporates that good or service into his or her own life, the meaning is transferred to the individual consumer. Meaning is thus moved from the world to the product (via advertising) to the individual. When the individual uses the product, that person conveys to others the meaning he or she and the advertisement have now given it. Their use incorporates various rituals that facilitate the movement of meaning from the good to consumer.

93. Think about a product that you have used in the past week. Using this as an example, explain the differences between segmenting, targeting, and positioning in the STP approach to marketing.

ANSWER:

Student examples will vary. Depending on the product, their approach to marketing will vary also.

Segmenting involves breaking down large, heterogeneous, and diverse markets into manageable submarkets, or customer segments. For segmenting to be useful, a marketer must be able to reach these resulting submarkets with its message. One of the most common ways to approach this task is by analyzing consumption patterns and commitment levels (heavy users, nonusers, brand-loyal users, variety seekers or switchers, emergent consumers). Other methods that are used include demographic, geographic, geodemographic, psychographic, and benefit segmentation.

Targeting involves choosing the specific subgroup—the target segment—as the focal point of the marketing efforts. Often, the largest segment is not chosen as the target, but rather, it is the particular segment made up of certain individuals with similar interests, needs, or lifestyles that may have a certain need or desire for the product.

Positioning involves designing and representing a product so it will occupy a distinct and valuable space in the marketplace. Positioning strategy is created when a company selects key themes and concepts to feature regarding the product when communicating its distinctive qualities.

Overall, markets are segmented, while products are positioned.

Brownsworth Brothers Coffee is a mail-order business run by two brothers directly from their Hawaiian plantation.

They have targeted heavy users in the past, but they’re considering a new focus on college students. They are considering switching target segments even though this group is comprised largely of people who don’t drink coffee, or have just started to drink coffee and don't consume anywhere near as much as the heavy users. What are the disadvantages of the heavy-user strategy? What term is used to describe the college students the company is considering targeting? What are the advantages of targeting this new segment?

ANSWER:

Heavy users of Brownsworth Brothers Coffee may need no encouragement at all to keep consuming. A heavy-user focus by an advertiser takes attention and resources away from those who do need encouragement to purchase the marketer's brand.

Perhaps most importantly, various heavy users may be significantly different in terms of their motivation to consume, their approach to the product, or their image of the product.

The college students who may try Brownsworth Brothers Coffee are considered emergent consumers. Their preferences are still under development. This target audience may produce minimal profits in the short term. However, there is the strong opportunity for gains in the long-term if they begin their initial coffee drinking with this brand, like it, and get hooked on it. They may ultimately demonstrate brand preference, or possibly even brand loyalty, for Brownsworth.

95. What is the difference between a consumer market and a business market? Give an example of each. Then describe how business markets are segmented, and use your example to explain your answer.

ANSWER:

Consumer markets are basically made up of individuals, or households—those markets for products and services that are purchased by people or their families and housemates to fulfill various personal needs.

Business markets are made up of institutional and industrial buyers who purchase items, parts, equipment, supplies, or other materials to be used in the production of other goods and services, which are then resold to other businesses or directly to households.

Business markets can be segmented in some ways similar to the methods used for consumer markets, such as analyzing their usage rates and geographic locations. But some methods used for consumers—such as psychographic or lifestyle segmentation— normally do not translate well to business buyers. Instead, simple sales-related methods are often used, such as identifying business markets based on their stage in the purchase process. In this way, potential prospects, first-time buyers, or those new to the market or industry can be targeted differently than long-standing business customers, and can be specifically addressed by the company’s advertisements and promotions.

Describe the concept known as niche marketing. What are the competitive advantages of marketing to a niche?

ANSWER:

Niche marketing is based on the premise that smaller is often better when selecting target segments. By definition, large segments are usually established segments that many companies have identified and targeted previously. However, these large segments may be poorly defined. Niche marketing involves identifying and serving a relatively small group of consumers who have a unique set of needs. Typically, these consumers are willing to pay a premium price to the firm that specializes in meeting those needs. The small size of a market niche often means it would not be profitable for more than one organization to serve it. Thus, when a firm identifies and develops products for market niches, the threat of competitors developing imitative products to attack the niches is reduced.

97. What is a positioning strategy? Explain the the Bahr–InterBrand positioning opportunity method.

ANSWER:

A positioning strategy involves the selection of key themes or concepts that the organization decides to feature to communicate the distinctiveness of its product. It helps the consumer understand what the product does. It must be simple and distinctive. Once the firm has segmented the market and selected its targets, the positioning strategy should come naturally.

It can involve several themes:

One of the best positioning strategies comes from Anne Bahr, the former CEO of InterBrand.This model shows that a brand’s best opportunity for success involves the overlapping of four important factors: current relevance to the consumer, credibility or consumer belief in the brand, differentiation or a recognition of uniqueness, and “stretch” or the potential for consumer relevance over time.The point at which these four meet is considered the best opportunity, the brand’s best position.

What is a value proposition? Explain why it is useful—even critical—to an organization, to its brand, to its team, and to its target audience.

ANSWER:

A value proposition is a statement of the functional, emotional, and self-expressive benefits offered by the brand. It acts as the basis for brand choice and customer loyalty, which is critical to the ongoing success of a firm.

The value proposition offers a way to capture the full record of a brand and all of its characteristics and benefits. It also provides a foundation and structure that will maintain this information as new members join the team and work on new promotional efforts for the brand. It is basically a way to capture the brand strategy on paper. It makes things crystal clear about what is believed and known about the brand. That way, everyone on the team can share this clear set of values, benefits, and other pieces of information related to the brand.

But more important, the value proposition is what keeps the brand consistent in the eyes of the target market. It consolidates all the customer benefits offered by a product, and reminds consumers of these benefits.

Over time, different aspects can be built into the value proposition. Well-established benefits reinforce one another, and new benefits are added to current ones. Some brands -- national brands, and especially global brands -- are very involved and complex, with long histories and decades of marketing efforts. They may now involve branded entertainment, product placement, mobile marketing, online advertising, or other relatively new promotional formats. The value proposition for these products is even more important in order to keep all brand information clear and consistent throughout all promotional efforts.

Scenario 7-1 Scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2011, Nintendo’s portable 3DS gaming system will likely revolutionize the video game industry. The 3DS is the newest in a long line of portable gaming systems made by Nintendo, but will now boast a number of new features—including 3-dimensional technology that does not require the use of any special viewing goggles or glasses. The new system will also allow consumers to play classic games from older generations of Nintendo products, watch 3-D movies, and create fictional “Mii” characters that were made famous by Nintendo’s Wii. Nintendo hopes its new gaming system will once again put Nintendo at the top of the video game industry, having lost some of its market share to Sony and Microsoft in recent years.

72. (Scenario 7-1) To determine which features to include in the 3DS, Nintendo did a large amount of research probing consumer opinions towards video games. To do so, Nintendo used a(n) that allowed consumers to be the “judge and jury” in evaluating the quality of their new idea. a. concept test b. attitude study c. frame-by-frame test d. physiological assessment ANSWER:

Scenario 7-3 After filing for bankruptcy in 2009 and requiring nearly $58 billion in governmental funding simply to stay afloat, General Motors realized it had to undergo major changes in order to compete with more successful automakers.

The company began designing questionnaires and focus groups in order to gain a better understanding of what its cars had been lacking, and perhaps probe for specific improvements consumers may have been looking for. The company recorded its research findings and began to apply them to its product line. A little over a year later, Consumer Reports stated that 83 percent of Chevrolets, GM’s top brand, had an average or better score in terms of predicted reliability, an increase from 50 percent the year before. Apparently, the company’s efforts have helped turn the company in the right direction. (“Consumer Reports: GM Reliability Makes Great Strides.” MSNBC.com, October 26, 2010.)

99. Briefly trace the reasons for the rise of research—specifically, advertising and brand promotion research—after World War II. Why did agencies create large research departments? How did universities get involved? How did consumers feel about research? When was research at its height of popularity, and when did things change?

Provide just a brief sketch of these issues.

ANSWER:

After World War II, American business had great faith in what science could do, while at the same time American consumers felt an underlying concern about its manipulation for evil ends rather than for the public good.

As for the industry, the 1950s was the heyday of marketing research. Some companies had already had research specialists for a hundred years, but now even the average firm felt the need to create an expansive research department for three basic reasons—the popularity of anything related to “science;” the birth of research departments at other agencies; and the real need to understand how ads worked. An economic boom, a focus on consumption, and a need to understand persuasion allowed agencies the luxury of demanding more psychological research, more motivational theories, more hidden meanings. Research became legitimatized and respected in the industry.

As for universities, they embraced science and experimentation as the only way to understand persuasion, forming advertising departments and teaching courses during this time. And they began to turn out persuasion “experts” trained to advise the creatives on Madison Avenue.

For consumers, things were different. On the surface there was a public adoration for all things scientific and technological—even reflected in books, plays, and movies— but also a focus on repressed subconscious and Freudian analysis. World War II propaganda had proven that the “science of persuasion” existed and could be exploited. There was real concern about mind-control techniques, subliminal methods, and hidden forms of mass persuasion that could now be used by Madison Avenue.

Consumers were scared by the Cold War, the advancement of communism, the very real possibility of nuclear attack. Advertisers took advantage of these fears, a lesson that still applies and still influences many forms of promotion today. If consumers feel an underlying anxiety or fear, advertisers will use that anxiety or fear to sell products.

By the 1980s, agencies began to voice their mistrust in these long-held research methods.Too often, research had asked the wrong questions, used inappropriate methods, or misinterpreted findings.

In the past decade, many agencies have considered research to be a luxury or an unnecessary element. Many have closed their departments, replacing them with account planning departments or contracting out research services only when needed.

And now they are looking for qualitative information based on real-life use of the product, not quantitative data based on columns of numbers. Overall, quantitative research is seen as irrelevant or only rarely needed. And with the explosion of nontraditional sources of promotion and new forms of media, it is becoming even more rare.

100. What are the three broad forms of advertising research? Briefly describe each form, as well as when and how it is used. List the methods and techniques related to each.

ANSWER:

The three broad forms of advertising research are developmental advertising and promotion research (used before ads are made), copy research (used as ads are being finished), and results-oriented research (used after ads are launched and running).

Developmental advertising research (also called consumer insight) attempts to generate ideas and create effective messages that will reach the target audience. It helps creatives and account teams to understand this audience—their identity, their history, their perceptions of needs and wants, and their expectations regarding product use. It provides this information while they are actually visualizing and drafting ads, improving on early versions, and imagining final creations. Since this research takes place early in the process, it influences the way the ads, promotions, forms of branded entertainment, or entire IBP campaigns are shaped before a lot of mistakes are made and a lot of money is spent. This is why it is often considered the most valuable kind of advertising research. The types of developmental research include design thinking, concept testing, audience profiling, focus groups, and projective techniques (dialogue balloons, story construction, picture and sentence completion, ZMET), and field work.

Copy research acts as a report card that evaluates the actual text or design of the ads, finished or unfinished. Its name comes from the original focus on the copy, though today it also involves visuals. It can provide valid data, but asking the wrong questions can lead to faulty ratings, especially when pressured to supply the client with numbers—usually normative test scores, which rate the ad based on those of competitors. Though many ads defy measurement, having a good score at least says that they “test well.” Creatives tend to hate arbitrary scores that compare their unique productions against “average” ads, while account execs tend to demand them because the client wants them. So copy research is often the main source of tension in an agency. The types of copy research include communication tests, thought listings or cognitive response analyses, recall tests, recognition tests, implicit memory measures, surveys, attitude studies, resonance tests, frame-by-frame tests, and eyetracking systems.

Results-oriented research is conducted to see whether the ads out there are working.

This can generate useful information, but the timing is the problem—the ad is already running, so the data is provided after the fact, after much time and money has been spent on producing and finalizing the ad and paying for media space. The types include tracking studies, inquiry/direct response measurements, sales estimates, or single-source data.

101. When should a marketer use secondary data? What are the advantages of using such data and what cautions should be taken? Name and briefly describe the four broad areas that offer secondary data used by today’s marketers.

ANSWER:

Secondary data should be obtained before an advertiser begins primary research.

Secondary data offer a low-cost and speedy method for gaining information about consumers’ lives and can lead to useful consumer insights. However, the data must be scrutinized for currency, the appropriateness of the measurement units for the marketer’s particular situation, the qualifications of the data collection organization, any special interests associated with the data generation effort, and, most importantly, relevance and meaning regarding products and brands.

Data can be found through several broad channels: Internal company sources (annual reports, marketing plans, sales summaries, warranty cards, consumer letters, etc.) are usually the first places to look. Government sources (massive amounts of data on population, housing, transportation, recreation, and spending) Start with the U.S. Census Bureau, including its Census of Population and Housing (published every 10 years) and Current Population Survey (published annually) for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Additionally, the National Archives and Records Administration offers a wide range of data on American culture. Global information can be found through Eurobarometer and the International Social Survey Program.

Commercial sources specialize in geographic data-gathering, often at the household, neighborhood, or zip code level, as offered by such firms as PRIZM and the Pew Center.

Internet sources have revolutionized developmental research, particularly for smaller firms and agencies. Common search engines allow access to enormous amounts of data, and human search costs have been slashed. Web-based interest groups, online communities, and social networking sites can be utilized. Advertisers can gain incredibly relevant data at virtually no cost if they are careful in their searches, though specialized engines can also be purchased. Additionally, the Web can be mined (through the relatively new practice of netnography) for answers to specific questions, to analyze chatter about products or competitors (brand-talk) by searching key words, or to conduct online surveys.

102. What is a recall test? How is it conducted, and how are its respondents measured and labeled? What is a recognition test? How is it conducted, and why does it usually produce a higher percentage of positive answers?

ANSWER:

Recall tests ask respondents what ads they remember having seen in a given vehicle, then ask for data about specific message content they remember. These tests are the most commonly employed, but the most controversial, since they are based on the idea that the ads that are most remembered are the ones that work best. Since they do not provide an ad as an example, recall tests require a great deal of actual memory. They are used the most in evaluating television commercials. The day-afterrecall procedure involves phoning respondents after viewing the ad, prompting them based on their responses, and recording and transcribing their answers. Each individual may demonstrate one of two levels of recall: unaided (needing no prompting to remember the commercial and brand name) or aided (after prompting with the mention of the brand name). Aided recall can be further subdivided into two categories—claim recall (percent of respondents who claim they saw the ad), and related recall (percent who accurately relate elements of the ad).

Recognition tests do provide a particular advertisement to evaluate. They show respondents an ad and ask if it looks familiar, or if they have seen it before.These tests require less actual memory, and have a higher percentage of positive answers than recall tests because the ad is in front of respondents and they are merely asked if they remember having seen it in a given vehicle at a previous time. They are used more often to evaluate print advertising. The big advantage is that firms can compare recognition scores to those of ads in the past. They are limited in that they often measure little more than exposure, often overestimating true effectiveness because respondents only need to answer that yes, they have seen the ad, even if they haven’t.

A drawback of both types of test is that there is little evidence to prove that higher recall or recognition scores actually relate to higher sales.

103. One of your advertising agency’s clients has asked for a description of how an attitude study is performed on a television commercial in a theater test setting. Describe this process in general terms. (It is not necessary to describe the measurement scale.) In your answer, include a summary of the reasons why you would do such a test and the advantages and disadvantages of this method of pretesting ads.

ANSWER:

The typical attitude study uses a before-and-after-ad-exposure design. People from the target market are recruited, and their pre-exposure attitudes toward the advertised brand as well as competitors' brands are taken. Then they are exposed to the test ad, along with some dummy ads. Following this exposure, their attitudes are measured again. The goal, of course, is to gauge the potential of specific versions of the ad to change brand attitudes before selecting the one most likely to do so for actual airing.

The reliability of these procedures is fairly high. However, the meaning of the scores in terms of predicting changed brand perceptions is an issue, because the test is based on one or two advertising exposures in an unnatural viewing environment. Many advertisers believe that commercials don't even register their impact until after three or four exposures.

What is account planning? In what three ways does it differ from traditional advertising research?

ANSWER:

Account planning differs from traditional forms of marketing research in several ways.

First, agencies using this system assign an account planner to work closely with an account executive and gather needed data for a particular client’s business—an ad, campaign, or entire IBP effort. Unlike a research department with its occasional input on any given project, the account planner stays with the project from beginning to end.

Second, this system puts research into a different but more prominent role. As researchers, account planners are more actively involved throughout the entire process, though they often make a big push up front, tending to do more developmental research and less evaluative research.

Third, these researchers do more qualitative and natural research than traditional research departments.

In some ways, appointing an account planner has also been used as a sly method for downsizing or totally eliminating a costly full-time research department.

a DIFFICULTY: Moderate LEARNING OBJECTIVES: AIBP.OGUI.15.8-3 NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Analytic STATE STANDARDS: United States - Ohio - DISC: DISC: PromotionMarketing P - DISC: Promotion KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Application Scenario 8-2 Following the announcement that the world's largest e-tailer, Amazon.com, made a profit for the first time since it started business in the early 1990s, the company saw more than 90 percent of its market value disappear as part of the dot-com collapse. It is questionable whether or not Amazon figured out a profitable business model after changing its tune several times over those early years. Then it began circling back somewhat to an earlier focus on becoming the Walmart of the Internet. It said it wanted to sell huge volumes of merchandise cheaply, and in the process eke out enough of a profit to satisfy Wall Street.

Although investors had to wait some time for the e-tailer to work out the kinks, and it's uncertain how much longer they'll remain patient, Amazon's mainstay retail business may see further improvements as it grows. As we all have now witnessed, unlike brick-and-mortar retailers who must build new stores, stock them, and hire people to staff them, Amazon has been able to open new stores with minimal additional cost. Some years ago, it reported turning over its inventory 17 times a year—close to double that of traditional retailers at the time. And on average, it reported having gotten paid 32 days before it must pay its suppliers—in essence, providing millions of dollars in cash flow.

Those dot-com companies that did survive initially had a difficult time making a profit, and over time a few began to face new competition. The issue as to who will supply online consumers has been continually evolving and changing since then.

Describe the essential difference between an industry analysis and a market analysis. In what section of an ad plan are they typically included? What are the other considerations for an advertiser that should be part of this section?

Where does the competitor analysis come in?

ANSWER:

An industry analysis focuses on developments and trends within an industry and on any other factors that may make a difference in how an advertiser proceeds with an advertising plan. An industry analysis should enumerate and discuss the most important aspects of a given industry, or the supply side of the supply-demand equation.

A market analysis is the flip side of an industry analysis. It describes the demand side of the supply-demand equation. An advertiser examines the factors that drive and determine the market of consumers for the firm's product or service. First, the advertiser needs to identify and define that market.

An industry analysis and a market analysis are both part of a situation analysis.

Advertisers should also include the historical context and a competitor analysis as part of this situation analysis.

A competitor analysis, conducted after these initial analyses are completed, identifies the main competitors, their strengths and weaknesses, and any serious threats that they represent.

95. Define the terms: brand awareness, top-of-the-mind awareness, purchase intent, trial usage, repeat purchase, and brand switching. Choose two of these concepts and give real-life examples.

ANSWER:

Brand awareness is an indicator of consumer knowledge about the existence of a brand and the ease with which that knowledge can be retrieved from the consumer’s memory.

Top-of-the-mind awareness is the condition that occurs when one brand comes up first in the consumer’s list of preferred or remembered brands.

Purchase intent is the expression by the consumer to buy the brand at some time in the future, presumably indicating that the consumer is closer to actual behavior than merely having a positive attitude toward the brand.

Trial usage is the actual behavior of a consumer in trying a new brand and hoping that it will live up to the expectations created by the advertising. This concept is commonly used as an advertising objective.

Repeat purchase is the instance in which a consumer tries a new product and then buys it a second time (also called conversion). It is considered a great milestone toward gaining new regular users.

Brand switching is the instance when a consumer discards one brand for another. It is a noble goal for advertisers, but reaching it can be a long and arduous task.

96. Why is the objectives section of an advertising plan so important to an advertiser? Name at least three of the objectives described in the text. For each objective, list one important consideration for advertisers.

ANSWER:

Advertising objectives identify the goals of the advertiser in concrete terms. Without them, there would be no solid direction for the campaign.

Brand awareness is a popular advertising objective. Creating or maintaining brand awareness is an indicator of consumer knowledge about the existence of the brand and the ease with which that knowledge can be retrieved from memory. Ease of retrieval from memory is important because for many consumer goods or services, it is predictive of market share.

Attitudes and beliefs can also be addressed in an advertising objective. This usually involves creating or changing attitudes and beliefs about the product. However, while attitudes may give a good indication of intentions and feelings about certain products, they do not necessarily predict actual buying behavior.

Purchase intent is another popular criteria in objective setting. The appeal of influencing purchase intent is that, compared to consumer attitudes, consumer intentions are closer to actual behavior, and thus closer to the desired sale.

Trial usage is an indicator of actual behavior and is commonly cited as an advertising objective. In the case of new products, stimulating trial use is critically important.

Repeat purchase is aimed at the percentage of consumers who try a new product and then buy it a second time. The odds of long-term product success go way up when this percentage is high.

Brand switching is a challenging advertising objective. Convincing consumers to permanently switch brands is a noble goal but it is not easy to accomplish—it can take a lot of time, effort, creativity, and money, and even then it may not be a successful venture.

Sales is sometimes listed as an advertising objective, but it can be a controversial one.

The idea that advertisements should directly increase product sales is often disputed by marketers, since advertising is only one element in a complex market mix, and many other factors can affect sales.

97. A marketer at a large advertising agency has been assigned the task of developing advertising objectives for a nationally known brand of orange juice called Sweet Sunshine. What are the advantages of viewing the advertising effort from strictly a communications viewpoint, as opposed to a sales objectives viewpoint? Regardless of which viewpoint is ultimately adopted, what characteristics should the objectives display to allow the Sweet Sunshine client to make intelligent decisions about resource allocation?

ANSWER:

Many marketers would take the stance that communications objectives are the only legitimate objectives for advertising a brand like Sweet Sunshine. They would argue that it is not reasonable to set sales objectives for its advertising effort when other variables in the mix might undermine the advertising effort, or might be responsible for sales of Sweet Sunshine orange juice (or lack of sales) in the first place. In addition, viewing advertising as primarily a communications effort will allow the marketer to consider a broader range of ad strategies in promoting the Sweet Sunshine brand.

Overall, communications objectives should create an awareness for the Sweet Sunshine brand, offer information about its features and benefits, and develop a favorable attitude toward the brand that may lead to consumer preference. These objectives have certain advantages over sales objectives—they consider a broader range of strategies, and they gain a greater appreciation for the overall communications process.

But there is always the idea, even if it is in the background, that advertising must sell.

So the marketer may use both types, as long as certain criteria are met. Any objectives that enable a firm to make intelligent decisions about resource allocation—whether based on communications or sales—must be stated in an advertising plan in terms specific to the organization. The objectives must establish a quantitative benchmark, specify measurement methods and criteria for success, and identify a time frame for the desired results to occur.

98. You are the marketing manager for an online merchandiser of a diverse line of casual sportswear, athletic clothing, and outerwear for both men and women. Write a brief memo to your advertising agency. In the memo, explain why you'd like the agency to abandon its recommendation for a share-of-market strategy in creating the budget. Give several reasons why this approach is unfavorable. Then explain why you want the agency to adopt an objective-andtask method. Also, there are four main steps that must be taken to implement this approach after advertising objectives are determined. List as many as you can. (It is not necessary to describe the steps in detail.)

ANSWER:

Share-of-market strategy. In the memo, you will want to explain that you can run into several problems associated with the share-of-market method of setting advertising objectives. First, it may be difficult to gain access to precise information about your competitors' expenditures. Second, there is no reason to believe that your competitors are spending their money wisely, or in a way even remotely related to what your firm wants to accomplish. Third, a likely outcome of budgeting in this fashion is that your firm will make little headway over the competition and but will simply maintain the status quo. Fourth, the flaw in logic behind this method is the presumption that every advertising effort has the same goals, is of the same quality, and will have the same effect from a creative execution standpoint.

Objective-and-task strategy. Now your memo will address the preferred alternative.

The objective-and-task approach will allow you to focus on the relationship between your spending and your advertising objectives. The budget is formulated by identifying the specific tasks necessary to achieve different aspects of the objectives. The four major steps that must be taken after advertising objectives have been set are (1) using a build-up analysis to determine costs; (2) comparing the costs against industry and corporate benchmarks; (3) reconciling and modifying the budget; and (4) determining the time frame for payout.

99. A good advertising plan is the result of combining the knowledge and talents of both the advertising agency and the client. In heading up a team that is creating the marketing plan for a large cosmetics firm, an account manager needs to make sure all goals are met and all responsibilities are assigned. For what issues does the client take primary responsibility? For what elements does the agency take primary responsibility?

The client’s role is to produce all necessary information on the firm, the brand, the product, and the market. It should identify the firm's basis for offering value to customers. The client should also clearly identify the external environment and the opportunities and challenges that can be addressed with advertising. In addition, it should include a well-articulated statement of the brand's competitive position and the marketing mix strategies designed to gain and sustain competitive advantage.

The agency's role is to use all that information and its own expertise to create finished ads. It should consider the conditions in the current market plus the firm’s marketing status and ad objectives, and then translate this information into promotional strategies and, ultimately, into finished advertisements. An agency best serves its client by taking charge of the preparation and placement stages. The agency needs to hammer out message strategies and tactics for the advertising effort and for the effective design and placement of ads—overall, it needs to manage the entire IBP process.

Scenario 9-1 The Xcellent Agency specializes in developing advertising campaigns for smaller retail clients. Xcellent was hired

by Shadowleaf Shoes, a small regional chain of six shoe stores, to develop a slogan and specific ads to be used in a three-month newspaper campaign. Shadowleaf's marketing director, Manuel Margolis, was adamant while meeting with Xcellent's account executive, Kia Chin, that the campaign must be catchy and modern to appeal to a target audience that has an active lifestyle and is between the ages of 18 and 35. More importantly, Margolis wanted the slogan to be memorable and unique.

Kia Chin, representing Xcellent, developed a campaign and presented it to Margolis, based on the slogan, "Do What You Do in a Shadowleaf Shoe." Visuals included men’s legs—different sizes, skin colors, etc.—walking, jogging, dancing, and otherwise moving in every type of Shadowleaf shoes. She felt that this campaign would target young male consumers, but would also get the attention of others regarding its comfortable shoes and would raise awareness of the Shadowleaf brand. After running the ads, the Xcellent Agency won an advertising effectiveness award. It seemed that the surprising and appealing visuals gave the slogan unexpectedly positive social meaning for people of all ages, not just men aged 18 to 35.

87. (Scenario 9-1) When Manuel Margolis insists on a measuring stick for the creativity of the campaign, what will the Xcellent Agency tell him, if Kia Chin is smart? a. “The award alone proves that this ad is loaded with creativity.” b. “If people like the ad, they’ll buy the product.” c. “We met the technical standards for this advertising effort.” d. “Great brands do more than just get attention, they make emotional connections.”

Scenario 9-2 The Optima Bike Company manufactures broad-tire, three-wheeled, and two-wheeled bicycles mostly for the retirement market. Its primary market is seniors, usually those who live in retirement communities where there are clearly designated and safe bike paths. Seniors—and especially the younger baby boomers—like these recreational vehicles because they are easy and safe to ride. The company has had some early successes in Florida, Arizona, and California, where such communities began. Optima now wants to expand to other retirement enclaves. It has learned from two well-conducted consumer research studies that the main way that male retirees buy the Optima line is through the urging of wives who want to exercise in some way other than playing golf.

Optima decides to engage an ad agency to capitalize on this consumer insight and promote its bikes to newer golf communities. It asks two agencies to pitch for its business and gives each a meeting in which it conveys the information above.

Alpha Agency is based in Miami and insists that its creative team is best suited to promote Optima. Its managers tell the prospective client that this team is well versed in advanced animation techniques and can dramatize the features of Optima’s two- and three-wheeled bikes in a dynamic way. They’ll focus on how fast they can go and how they can “transform the ride” into an adventure—this has worked in other ads, and this will appeal to the male consumers who need to be lured away from the golf course. Following this initial display of product prowess, they suggest a campaign that demonstrates how the bikes can be customized to be more “comfortable and attractive for the ladies,” including pink seat options. They finish by asking whether the brand name can be changed to “something more exciting.”

Beta Agency is based in Los Angeles and promises to serve as Optima’s branding partner. It asserts that its creative philosophy is centered on long-term brand building. Its managers propose that they will develop the right message by applying the research-based consumer insight that women want to use the bikes to entice their husbands to leave the golf course once in a while. They suggest that their successful work in building regional appreciation for brands, such as Sea-Doo water vehicles and Ski-Doo snowmobiles, indicates their prowess in branding similar but not directly competitive brands. They emphasize the difference that Optima offers in the recreational-ride category, and the consumer targets that differ from other brands. They close by complimenting this prospective client on how appropriate the brand name is, given its customer base and likely target consumer.

92. (Scenario 9-2) Optima chooses the Beta Agency to create its campaign. What is likely the primary reason for this choice? a. Alpha Agency focused more on men than on women. b. Alpha Agency was in Florida, which covers a smaller region than California. c. Beta Agency focused on making a brand connection to the consumer. d. Beta Agency was in Los Angeles, which is a more up-and-coming area regarding senior marketing trends.

96. What are the core characteristics of great creative minds, as identified by Howard Gardner? Relate the characteristics with the positive and negative repercussions in the lives of people who demonstrate extreme levels of creativity.

ANSWER:

Gardner suggested that great creative minds share particular qualities—unending selfconfidence, childlike simplicity, nonstop alertness, unconventionality, self-promotion, strong work ethic, and obsessive commitment to work. These traits, all of which he discovered when analyzing seven highly creative minds of the past century, can lead to a number of positive conditions. They foster fresh thinking, fascinating ideas, and innovative solutions to problems—not only invigorating and amazing the world, but also improving it.

Although these qualities—and their benefits to business and consumer lives—are very positive and desirable, there is a downside, largely based on the degree to which creatives show these traits. Self-confidence, when out of balance, can degrade into narcissism and egotism. Childlike thinking, while leading to refreshing and compelling insights, can also lead to childish behaviors. Obsessive commitment to work can lead to a distressing hardships for an individual’s family, friends, and associates, who may be ignored or treated poorly while also being expected to cheerlead from the sidelines and compensate for the creative's shortcomings.

With the help of concrete examples, describe the tensions that are routinely found between creatives and managers within agencies. Discuss why these are so commonly found in the world of advertising.

ANSWER:

Tensions begin with the uncertain nature of the creative product. Although everybody understands that ads need to be “creative,” there is no hard and fast rule that identifies “creativity” when it appears.

Moreover, some clients and agency managers have the perception that creatives spend a lot of time telling jokes, having fun, and “screwing around” as they let the creative wheels turn. But the other side may not be recognized—that creatives are continually pressed to come up with yet another totally “unique” and “original” concept, design, or slogan, often with little time and few resources. It is hard work to not only get the right creative idea but to convey it and produce it in a tangible form.

The time and effort needed to do that is often dismissed or unseen by managers and clients. These types of misunderstandings aggravate client uncertainty, which in turn frustrates account executives and agency directors.

By nature, many creatives are provocateurs—they take risks, push envelopes, and sometimes step over the lines of ethics and good taste. Managers, to a degree, dislike too much edginess in a creative execution and often seek to minimize it, but in doing so, they may end up micro-managing the team rather than letting the final product speak for itself.

98. Explain the importance of collaboration—creating teams and encouraging teamwork—in the creative advertising environment. Give three or four reasons why teams foster creativity in the real-life workplace of contemporary advertising. Consider ideas from The Wisdom of Teams by Katzenbach and Smith.

ANSWER:

Today, interpersonal skills are highly valued—and expected—in the workplace. And advertising has become a team sport. Coordination and collaboration are required in all phases of promotion and marketing nowadays. Teams have become the primary means— sometimes the only valid option—for getting things done.

Teams bring many positive elements to the table. They can generate a synergy that makes the whole bigger than its parts. They allow people to focus on many individual tasks and then combine their talents in a unique way. They make the group rather than the individual accountable for performance, and they are expected to show results.

Teams can create and build campaigns more easily than individuals. They can simply handle the demands, time constraints, and quality requirements that are often beyond the scope of one person’s abilities. But effective teams also appreciate and utilize individual excellence. They allow people to bring unique talents and contributions to the job. Likewise, the people involved learn about their own cognitive styles, observe the work of others, and become better collaborators overall.

What is meant by the term cognitive style? How has it been stereotyped into two polar opposites in creative environments like ad agencies? Explain how cognitive styles affect creative teams.

ANSWER:

Cognitive style refers to the unique preference of every individual for perceiving, thinking, and solving problems. Some lean toward logical or analytical thinking, others prefer intuitive or visual thinking. Many versions have been suggested, beginning with the work of psychologist Carl Jung, who proposed three categories of opposing cognitive styles—sensing versus intuiting, thinking versus feeling, and extraversion versus introversion.

The stereotypes often depicted in creative businesses like advertising and promotion have produced some familiar cultural stereotypes. It is easy to label the “business types” as leftbrained thinkers—interested in numbers, tests, data, and reports. And to label the “creative types” as right-brained thinkers—focused on ideas, images, visuals, and abstractions.

While these stereotypes are narrowly defined and force people into cookie-cutter “types,” they do point to the idea that people think about things, tackle projects, and carry out tasks in very different and individual ways.

Overall, teams doing creative advertising work tend to benefit from a good mix of different cognitive styles. Different kinds of thinking lead to creative solutions.

100. Define the terms interpersonal abrasion and creative abrasion. Discuss the differences between the two, as well as the similarities. Give an example of each that might be found in the advertising workplace environment.

ANSWER:

The two concepts are similar in that they both refer to a level of tension, conflict, frustration, irritation, or disagreement that almost naturally occurs when highly motivated people work together to solve a problem or create a new idea. But there are great differences between the two.

Interpersonal abrasion refers to the clash and friction between people, often in a very personal way. Communication breaks down, new ideas die, creativity shuts off. This type of conflict can be a destructive force in a workplace.

Creative abrasion refers to the clash and friction between ideas, usually in a professional way. Opinions are expressed, arguments take place, voices are raised— but in the middle of all this, ideas pop, thoughts clarify, and breakthrough solutions evolve. So this type of conflict can be very productive in the workplace. In fact, some form of friction or tension needs to be present to stir things up and get the sparks flying.

Examples from the advertising workplace will vary among students, but will probably include in some form the common state of conflict between clients and agencies, or between account executives and creative directors. Either way, the creatives are usually at the center of the conflict.

Scenario 10-3 Advertisers have a wide choice of objectives and methods when creating an ad for a product, no matter what the product category is. For example, both Taylor and Yamaha sell guitars. Both have created ads that have been recognized by the advertising industry as outstanding creative efforts. However, they have chosen different ways to use magazine advertising to sell guitars.

A representative advertisement for Taylor features a photograph of a beautiful, lush, fog-shrouded green forest.

The headline reads, "If a tree falls in the forest and you're not there to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes, it just might take 7 or 8 years." The copy is three sentences long and talks about the time and attention that Taylor takes in making quality guitars. Only the top couple inches of a guitar featuring the Taylor logo is shown. While the ad could be classified as exemplifying a number of approaches to meeting message objectives, it most closely fits the description of the USP method by linking a key attribute (quality) to the brand name (Taylor).

The main visual in an ad for the Yamaha Pacifica is a bold shot of the guitar. The headline reads, "To survive, you need four things: Food. Sex. Shelter. Guitars. Make that two things." This ad also features characteristics of several approaches to meeting message objectives. However, the headline seems to define it as using the humor method to persuade consumers to prefer the brand.

77. (Scenario 10-3) Which of the following is an accurate description of the objective that the Taylor ad was trying to achieve? a. As a feel-good ad, it was trying to increase brand recall. b. As a USP ad, it was trying to connect a specific characteristic with the brand. c. As a feel-good ad, it was trying to transform a consumption experience. d.

Scenario 10-5 In 2007, the Michigan-based Ford Motor Company fell from second to third in the U.S. annual vehicle sales for the first time in 56 years. Facing stiff competition from foreign auto-makers and brand indifference amongst U.S. consumers, Ford appeared to be headed towards turbulent times. However, when marketing and advertising guru Jim Farley joined Ford in November 2007, he brought with him a number of fresh ideas that helped turn the company toward the right direction. Farley quickly found that Americans had become indifferent to the Ford brand, which in his opinion, was worse than disliking the brand. So, Farley, along with the rest of the marketing team at Ford, created a campaign that used catchy songs and cheerful images to accompany its line of automobiles. The marketing team at Ford is now heavily utilizing the Internet to promote the new Ford Fiesta, which is the focus of a campaign that has greatly increased the awareness of the Ford brand. The company has also been stressing the value of buying environment-friendly cars, a move it hopes will improve the brand's image throughout the world. So far, these moves appear to be working—in late 2010, Ford was once again named the second leading automotive company in the United States, as well as the fourth largest in the world. (“Ford Can Fiesta Again.” The Economist, October 28, 2010) 86. (Scenario 10-5) Ford is using a number of catchy songs in its advertisements.

96. What is message strategy? How is it used in advertising and promotion?

ANSWER:

Message strategy involves the tactics used to determine the goals of the advertiser and to actually create the communications intended to reach and persuade the consumer. Message strategy consists of objectives (what you want to do) and methods (how you plan to do it). It identifies the goals of the advertiser, and then determines how those goals will be achieved.

There are ten major objectives of advertising message strategy. Name and briefly define them as well as the methods used to reach them. Give a real-life example demonstrating two of these objectives.

ANSWER:

The ten objectives of advertising message strategy are as follows: To promote brand recall. This is the simplest type of advertising in existence, with very clear goals—to get consumers to remember a brand name, and to remember it as one of their main alternatives. Its methods are repetition, slogans and jingles, and point-of-purchase branding.

To link attributes to the brand name. This is the advertising process that simply brings together in the consumer’s mind certain desirable attributes and the brand name. The method involves the unique selling proposition (USP), that is, the idea that the brand emphasizes a unique quality or qualities.

To persuade the consumer. This is high-engagement advertising, coming right out and proposing an argument, being direct with information and attributes, and attempting to logically convince the consumer of the superiority of a brand. Methods include reason-why ads, hard-sell ads, comparison ads, testimonials, demonstrations, and infomercials.

To create affective association. This refers to the advertising that makes consumers feel good about an ad, a brand, and themselves. Methods include feel-good ads, humor ads, and sex-appeal ads.

To scare the consumer into action. This approach uses a consumers personal fears to convince them that a product or service will alleviate these fears. The method used in this approach is fear-appeal ads.

To change behavior by inducing anxiety. This approach include techniques that play on low-level anxieties to create a stronger level of anxiety and then introduce the answer to that problem with a product or service. Methods include anxiety ads and social anxiety ads.

To define the brand image. These ads express the identity, emotional connection, or inner meaning of the brand in visual terms that can be quickly grasped. Image ads are the method used in this approach.

To give the brand the desired social meaning. These ads attempt to promote the overwhelming idea that objects have social meaning and are not just things, and that

certain objects carry with them a high degree of social status and meaning. Methods include slice-of life ads, branded entertainment, and product placement.

To leverage social disruption and cultural contradictions. These are very sophisticated messages that manage to carry with them the idea that certain brands recognize where the social fabric is frayed, acknowledge this disconnect, and successfully work to bridge that gap. The method used in this approach involves tying brands to social/cultural movements.

To transform consumption experiences. This is the ultimate goal and the highest level of sophistication in advertising, involving ads that have that perfect mix of magic, timing, and social awareness to create an entirely new experience for the consumer.

The method involves transformational ads.

98. Name and describe in detail the three primary methods of promoting brand recall. Give an example of each from familiar ads or commercials. Explain why brand recall is particularly relevant to the advertising of "lowinvolvement" goods and services.

ANSWER:

There are three methods used to promote easy brand recall—repetition of the brand name, use of slogans and jingles, and point-of-purchase methods.

Repetition ads play off the notion that things said more often will be remembered more easily than things said less frequently, and so the brand name is mentioned over and over again.

Slogans and jingles rely on linguistic devices to enhance brand name retrieval, such as metaphors, similes, rhyme, meter, and (in the case of jingles) music.

Point-of-purchase methods involve in-store displays that act as instant reminders for brands. These include eye-catching visual displays at the store entrances and within store aisles, or within the packaging itself.

Student examples may vary.

DIFFICULTY:

Low-involvement goods are often parity goods—such items as soap, laundry detergent, cereal, canned soup. Low-involvement services might include such ordinary transactions as film developing and dry cleaning. In the case of low-involvement goods, the first brand remembered is often the most likely brand to be purchased— just the recall of a name can drive the purchase decision. Consumers choose from among parity brands, not because of extensive deliberation, but because of name recall and habit.

How does the hard-sell approach aim to create immediate sales? How does it work? What objective is this method trying to achieve?

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

The idea behind hard-sell ads is to create a sense of urgency so customers will act impulsively and immediately. Phrases like "act now" and "one-time-only" characterize this type of advertising. In most instances, however, consumers have learned to decode and discount these types of messages, which decreases their effectiveness.

Despite their drawbacks, they are commonly used in newspaper advertising. The objective of hard-sell ads is to persuade. They want the customer to buy the brand— now.

100. In the past, research has suggested that advertisers should exert caution when attempting to use certain methods of advertising. List at least two of these methods and, for each method, describe two of the lessons that advertisers can learn from the research.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

Humor ads: Research suggests that advertisers should use humor with caution. The goal of humor is to create a pleasant and memorable association with the product for the consumer. However, research shows that humorous messages may adversely affect comprehension and can actually interfere with memory processes: the consumer doesn’t remember what brand the ad was for. In addition, humor can attract attention without increasing the effectiveness or persuasive impact of the advertisement.

Fear-appeal ads: Some research also indicates that intense fear appeals actually short-circuit persuasion and result in a negative attitude toward the advertised product. The research on this, however, is far from conclusive. The text suggests the use of a moderate level of fear is most successful. Whether or not a fear appeal is successful may also come down to how believable the fear is, and how clearly the escape from this fear is identified and explained.

Comparison ads: Extensive research has been done on making comparisons. Among the findings are that (1) direct comparison by a low-share brand to a high-share brand increases the attention on the part of receivers and increases the purchase intention of the low-share brand; (2) direct comparison by a high-share brand to a low-share brand does not attract additional attention and increases awareness of the low-share brand; and (3) direct comparison is more effective if members of the target audience have not demonstrated clear brand preference in their product choices.

For these reasons, established market leaders almost never use comparison ads.

These ads are almost always used by the underdog brand, the brand that wishes to be seen in the company of the market leader.

101. How and why does anxiety work to sell things? List at least five goods that are likely to be promoted using ads that attempt to change behavior by inducing anxiety, including both generalized anxiety as well as social anxiety. Also, list at least five services that might be promoted using anxiety tactics.

ANSWER:

Anxiety is uncomfortable and long-lasting. People routinely try to alleviate it or eliminate it with thoughts and behaviors. Advertisers make suggestions about something that should worry the consumer, then offer an immediate solution to the problem with their product. So people do end up buying any number of products and services due to conscious or unconscious levels of anxiety.

Goods promoted through anxiety ads might include deodorant, mouthwash, antibacterial soap, acne medications, whitening toothpaste, condoms, dandruff shampoo, hair coloring, vitamins, prescription medications, or just about any other personal care product. Another category might include cleaning products or germ-fighting remedies —sprays, scrubs, and soaps, involving products like glass cleaner, furniture polish, toilet bowl tablets, and the newer antibacterial hand sanitizers available today. Other household products such as insect spray and air freshener are promoted this way.

Even clothing, accessories, and footwear may be promoted this way, if the tactic involves implanting a personal worry or social concern.

Services advertised through anxiety ads might include home security systems, car and home insurance, life insurance, weight loss programs, fitness center memberships, magazine or newspaper subscriptions, wardrobe consultants, cosmetic makeovers, hair care salons, and just about any personal service that may be seen as alleviating worry or avoiding social embarrassment.

Scenario 11-5 A hospital is attempting to change its image. In the past, the hospital has been perceived as having a high degree of expertise across all medical services, but also as having a cold and unfeeling atmosphere. This has resulted in the hospital losing business in situations where patients feel that a procedure is simple enough that any hospital can perform it equally well. The decision is made to hire a local advertising agency. The agency’s creative director meets with the hospital marketing director to develop a creative brief. It focuses on print ads for local newspapers and regional magazines, and states that the advertising for the hospital must create feelings of caring and warmth, without explicitly stating that the hospital “cares”—a tactic that has been used again and again by other medical institutions.

99. (Scenario 11-5) The art director for this campaign needs to convey a particular mood, a feeling of warmth and serenity, in this ad illustration.

104. List the main members of an advertising agency's creative team? Consider how they are assigned tasks in producing written, audio, and visual elements of ads; and briefly describe these roles and responsibilities.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

Copywriting and Art Production: Creative director (CD). The creative director manages the creative process for the client. The main role of the CD is to oversee the creative product of an agency across all clients.

Art director (AD). The art director and the copywriter work together to develop the concept for a broadcast or digital/interactive ad. Art directors, with their specialized skills and training, coordinate the design and illustration components of the ad. The AD either oversees the production of the television storyboards or actually constructs the storyboards. In addition, the AD works with the film director who shoots the commercial to develop the overall look of the spot.

Copywriter. The copywriter is responsible for the words and phrases used in an ad, whether it is print, broadcast, or digital/interactive in format. In print, these words appear on the page as headline, subhead, body copy, and slogan/tagline. In television and radio advertising, these words and phrases appear as a script from which the film director, creative director, and art director work during the production process.

Media planner. The media planner keeps up with the latest technological advances in digital and interactive media, as well as all other forms. The media planner makes sure what is done for television is consistent with that done for other media within the campaign. This person often focuses on pinpointing and understanding the latest media formats available, such as social networks, mobile markets, brandscapes, etc.

Account planner. The account planner is often a research expert who knows how to seek out information, obtain data, do surveys, and use secondary sources to understand target markets. This person makes sure the consumer’s values and interests are represented, and brings the consumer voice to the table.

105. What are the differences between writing advertising copy for print media and for broadcast media? What unique challenges does writing for broadcast hold, and how does writing for interactive or digital media fit into this?

ANSWER:

Writing for print is quite straightforward. The copywriter must review components of the creative plan so as to take advantage of and follow through on the marketing and advertising strategies specified and integral to the brand's market potential. In preparing copy for a print ad, the copywriter must decide how to use the three separate components of print copy: the headline, the subhead, and the body copy.

Writing copy for broadcast media should begin in the same way that writing copy for print media begins. However, writing for broadcast ads does have its differences. The audio and audiovisual capabilities of radio and television provide different opportunities for the copywriter. On radio, the use of sound effects, musical pieces, and voices offer many creative possibilities. On television, the ability to combine copy with color and motion provides vast and exciting creative options. In either medium, the copywriter must be cautious not to use these effects in a way that could distract the listener or viewer from the copy of the advertisement. Also, broadcast media, as opposed to print media, does not provide the opportunity to communicate long, complex messages about brand features. Unlike print materials that can be read at leisure and viewed again and again. Broadcast media, particularly radio, work in short exposure time frames.

Writing for digital or interactive ads is somewhat similar to writing for print. However, there are differences. Audiences approach these ads in a much different way—they seek out the ads, at least to a point, rather than having ads presented to them. There is no time restriction for viewing the ads, similar to print, and very much unlike broadcast.

106. Explain the advantages of copywriting in print media, and list the disadvantages of copywriting for television advertising.

ANSWER:

The audio and visual capabilities of television and video offer different opportunities for a copywriter. Compared to print media, however, video media have inherent limitations for a copywriter.

In print media, a copywriter can write longer and more involved copy to better communicate complex brand features. Print media provides a copywriter the time and space to communicate details, complete with illustrations. In addition, the printed page allows a reader to dwell on the copy and process the information at a personalized, comfortable rate.

Television’s inherent capabilities do much to bring a copywriter’s words to life. But the action qualities can create problems. Firstly, the copywriter must remember that words do not stand alone. Visuals, special effects, and sound techniques may ultimately convey a message far better than the cleverest turn of phrase. Second, television commercials represent a difficult timing challenge for the copywriter. It is necessary for the copy to be precisely coordinated with the visuals. If the visual portion was one continuous illustration, the task would be difficult enough.

Contemporary television ads, however, tend to be heavily edited and the copywriting task can be a nightmare. The copywriter not only has to fulfill all the responsibilities of proper information inclusion but also has to carefully fit all the information within, between, and around the display.

Define and explain the three main visual elements of print and often digital/interactive advertisements. What is the primary purpose of each?

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

The three primary visual elements used in ads are illustration, design, and layout.

Illustration involves drawings, paintings, photos, or computer-generated art. It has six purposes—to attract the attention of the target audience, make the brand heroic, highlight features or benefits, encourage a mood or image, stimulate reading of the body copy, or create a social context for the brand.

Design is "the structure itself and the plan behind that structure" for the aesthetic and stylistic aspects of a print advertisement. The goal of design is to arrange all the components of an advertisement—the illustration, headline, body copy, slogan, and any other features—so that the ad is easy to read and visually pleasing.

Layout is the mechanical aspect of design. It is a drawing of a proposed advertisement showing where all the elements will be positioned. A layout can be thought of as the tool the designer uses to achieve a good design. As the production process progresses, layouts move from thumbnails to rough layouts to comps and then to finalized digital ads ready for the printer or Internet site.

108. What are the five principles of design? Choose two of the principles and discuss the considerations involved in each. Then give an example of each.

ANSWER:

The five principles of design as discussed in the text are balance, proportion, order, unity, and emphasis. Student examples will vary.

Balance evokes orderliness and compatibility within an ad. It can be formal or informal. Formal balance emphasizes symmetrical presentation and creates a mood of seriousness and directness. It is orderly and easy to follow. Informal balance emphasizes asymmetry—the optical weighing of different sizes and shapes.

Components of different size, shape, and color are precisely arranged in a more complex relationship.

Proportion has to do with the size and tonal relationships between different elements in an advertisement. Proportional considerations include: the width of an ad in relation to its depth; the width of each element in the ad in relation to the depth of each element; the size of one element relative to the size of every other element; the space between two elements and the relationship of that space and a third element; and the amount of light area as opposed to the amount of dark area. Ideally, factors of proportion vary so as to avoid monotony in an ad.

Order in an advertisement is also referred to as sequence or, in terms of its effects on the reader, “gaze motion.” In focusing on order, the designer's goal is to establish a relationship among elements that leads the reader through the ad in some controlled fashion. The essential contribution of this component is to establish a visual format that results in a focus or several focuses.

Unity attempts to ensure that the elements of an advertisement are tied together and appear to be related. Unity results in harmony among the diverse components of print advertising—headline, subhead, body copy, illustration, and any other elements.

Several design techniques contribute to unity, including the use of a border and white space. The axis or axes of the ad also contribute to unity. Other considerations of unity are whether the design uses a three-point structure or a parallel layout structure.

Emphasis is the result of a decision as to which major component of an advertisement will be stressed. The key to good design relative to emphasis is that one item is the primary focus, but not the only focus, in an ad. Usually, if one element is emphasized to the total exclusion of the others, then a poor design has been achieved, and ultimately a poor communication will result.

109. Explain why producing a television commercial is an extremely expensive undertaking. Describe a television commercial that you have seen recently. Analyze it in terms of how it meets or fails to meet two of the five primary creative guidelines for television ad production as noted in the text.

ANSWER:

The number of people involved in the making of a television commercial is very large, and many of them are highly skilled. A production crew may charge anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 per day. Equipment fees also figure into the often staggering cost of producing a spot. Travel, lodging, casting, and overtime costs, often within short timetables, increase the price of production.

Specific examples of commercials will vary, of course, depending on the television spot described. However, the student’s answer should touch on some of the issues noted above regarding expenses, and should outline the extent to which the commercial meets at least two of the following guidelines: First, does it use an attention-getting and relevant opening?

Second, does it emphasize the visual?

Third, does it coordinate the audio with the visual?

Fourth, does it persuade as well as entertain?

Fifth, does it do a good job of showing the product?

94. What is a media strategy and why is it needed to prepare a media plan? Why is media planning essential before media buying? What are the different components of a media plan?

ANSWER:

A media strategy determines what you want to do with your media—buy simple awareness, counter a competitor’s claims, reposition your brand, react to good or bad media publicity, or establish an image and good feel surrounding your brand. It helps you match message objectives with media choices. Thus, the true power of a media plan rests in the media strategy.

Media planning determines where and when the advertiser’s money is spent, and thus, is vital. It requires creativity and strategic thinking, because to do it, an advertiser needs to understand what he is trying to do with media, why he is doing it, and the key aspects of the various tools at his disposal. A media plan specifies the media in which advertising messages will be placed to reach the desired target audience.

A media plan includes a strategy, objectives, media choices, and a media schedule for placing a message. An advertiser should always know and pay close attention to the fundamental qualities of each medium and specific vehicle in terms of what a brand is trying to do. To be effective, the advertiser needs to be able to see the media buys in the strategic context of brand communication and consumer behavior goals.

How is the concept of message wight associated with gross impressions? Why are media planners interested in the message weight of a media plan?

ANSWER:

Message weight is a media measure and refers to the total mass of advertising delivered. Message weight, at least in traditional media, is typically expressed in terms of gross impressions. Gross impressions represent the sum of exposures to the entire media placement in a media plan.

Media planners are interested in the message weight of a media plan because it provides a simple indication of the size of the advertising effort being placed against a specific market.

96. Axel Corporation has been manufacturing chocolate chips for over 60 years. This year, the sales for 12-oz. packages of both milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips are strong in the U.S., but they peak from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, with November and December often producing sales that add up to four times that of the “average” month. Describe the three different media scheduling options that the company can consider when deciding on media scheduling. Recommend the scheduling option that would be most appropriate for the company to adopt.

ANSWER:

The three choices of media scheduling for Axel Corporation would be continuous scheduling, flighting, and pulsing.

Continuous scheduling is a pattern of placing ads at a steady rate over a period of time.

Flighting is achieved by scheduling heavy advertising for a period of time, usually two weeks, then stopping advertising altogether for a period, only to come back with another heavy schedule.

Pulsing combines elements from continuous and flighting techniques. Advertisements are scheduled continuously in media over a period of time, but with periods of much heavier scheduling.

The best choice for Axel Corporation would be a pulsing schedule. This is because pulsing is most appropriate for products that are sold fairly regularly all year long but have certain seasonal requirements.

Explain how the World Wide Web has changed the traditional brand–consumer relationship.

ANSWER:

Facebook, Twitter, and others have revolutionized the way we think about mediated communication. From the earliest work on brand communities, Muniz and O’ Guinn noted that this new paradigm is represented by three nodes rather than the traditional two: marketer–consumer–consumer. Consumers talk to other consumers and like to talk to other consumers about consumer stuff. Now, through the Internet, they can, for almost no cost, instantaneously, and with the power of huge numbers.

98. What is meant by the term Madison & Vine? Describe the source of this term and the nature of this phenomenon in the world of advertising.

ANSWER:

Madison & Vine is a term coined by Scott Donaton at Advertising Age. It is a recognized, full-fledged attempt to merge media in the form of branded entertainment on television, in games, in retail settings called brandscapes, on mobile phones—all across the board. The concept is also referred to as branded entertainment and emerged long ago, with simple product placements in movies, radio, and then television shows.

The basis for the idea was that traditional advertising was no longer cost effective and that the cost of making and promoting films and music was also out of control. For clients seeking branded entertainment opportunities, there typically are three primary approaches.

The most straightforward and least expensive is product placement. A more sophisticated approach involves storyline integration, such as putting a UPS delivery truck in an EA Sports NASCAR game. Original content, as when BMW produced short online film clips featuring their vehicles, is the most expensive, but potentially most compelling, form of branded entertainment.

How is an agency of record and a media-buying service similar to one another? Identify the differences between them.

ANSWER:

Both an agency of record and a media-buying service help an organization purchase media time and space.

An agency of record is an advertising agency chosen by the advertiser to purchase time and space. The agency of record coordinates media discounts and negotiates all contracts for time and space. Any other agencies involved in the advertising effort submit insertion orders for time and space within those contracts.

In contrast, a media-buying service is an independent organization that specializes in buying large blocks of media time and space and reselling it to advertisers. Some agencies and companies have developed their own media-buying units.

104. As a newly hired media planner with a list of clients who benefit from timely local advertising, you need to be familiar with the advertising options that your metropolitan and suburban newspapers offer. Briefly define the three broad types of newspaper ads, and their sub-types.

ANSWER:

Advertisers have several options when it comes to the types of ads that can be placed in a newspaper: display advertising, inserts, and classified advertising.

1) Display advertising in newspapers includes the standard components of a print ad —headline, body copy, and often an illustration—to set it off from the news content of the paper. An important form of display advertising is co-op advertising sponsored by manufacturers. In co-op advertising, a manufacturer pays part of the media bill when a local merchant features the manufacturer’s brand in advertising.

2) Inserts do not appear on the printed newspaper page but rather are folded into the newspaper before distribution. There are two types of insert advertisements. The first is a preprinted insert, which is an advertisement delivered to the newspaper fully printed and ready for insertion into the newspaper. The second type of insert ad is a free-standing insert (FSI), which contains cents-off coupons for a variety of products and is typically delivered with Sunday newspapers.

3) Classified advertising is newspaper advertising that appears as all-copy messages under categories such as sporting goods, employment, and automobiles. Many classified ads are taken out by individuals, but real estate firms, automobile dealers, and construction firms also buy classified advertising.

105. Describe four main advantages of newspapers as a media class.

ANSWER:

Newspapers offer many advantages to advertisers: 1) Timeliness - The newspaper is timely even in its printed form. Because of the short time needed for producing a typical newspaper ad and the regularity of daily publication, the newspaper allows advertisers to reach audiences in a timely way.

2) Creative Opportunities - As the newspaper page offers a large and relatively inexpensive format, advertisers can provide a lot of information to the target audience at a relatively low cost. This is important for products or services with extensive or complex features that may need lengthy and detailed copy.

3) Credibility - Newspapers still benefit from the perception that “if it’s in the paper, it must be the truth.”

4) Audience Interest - Regular newspaper readers are truly interested in the information they are reading and staying current with local and or world happenings.

DIFFICULTY: Moderate LEARNING OBJECTIVES: AIBP.OGUI.15.13-2 NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Analytic STATE STANDARDS: United States - Ohio - DISC: Promotion KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Comprehension 106. As a media class, one of the drawbacks of newspapers is ad clutter. Explain. As a media class, do magazines face the same disadvantage?

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

The average printed newspaper is filled with headlines, subheads, photos, and announcements—not to mention the news stories. This presents a terribly cluttered environment for an advertisement. To make things worse, most advertisers in a product category try to use the same sections to target audiences. For example, home equity loan and financial services ads are in the business section, and women’s clothing ads are in the metro or local sections.

Magazines are not quite as cluttered as newspapers, but they still represent a fairly difficult context for message delivery. The average magazine is about half editorial and entertainment content and half advertising material, but some highly specialized magazines can have as much as 80 percent of their pages devoted to advertising. And given the narrowly defined audiences, this advertising tends to be for brands in direct competition with each other. In addition to this clutter, there is another sort of clutter that has recently begun to plague magazines. As soon as a new market segment is recognized, there is a flood of “me too” magazines. Such a problem may devalue individual ads, and the magazines in which they appear may reach fewer consumers than the advertiser expected.

107. Aside from the fact that cable TV offers more channels and more programming, what are the two other aspects that distinguish cable from network TV? ANSWER:

Aside from more channels and hence more programming, two other aspects distinguish cable from network TV. First is the willingness of cable networks to invest in original programming. Cable networks are investing record dollar amounts in new, highly specific programming to continue to attract well-defined audiences. Programs like TNT’s The Closer and Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants attract specific and very large target audiences. Second, there is huge potential revenue from video on demand (VOD).

108. An ad agency has just won a new account that wants to begin by focusing on television commercials, and then later, possibly branch into print and Internet ads. The agency’s account executive, media planner, and account planner meet with the advertiser's team to review advertising options offered by various television formats. What are the four categories of basic television (excluding new and emerging formats such as Web TV and interactive TV) that they would consider?

ANSWER:

The four categories of basic television are network, cable, syndicated, and local formats.

Network television broadcasts programming over airwaves to affiliate stations across the United States under a contract agreement. Programming from these networks can be delivered on-air, over cable, through satellite transmission, or by mobile apps to smartphones and tablets. The method of delivery does not change the fact that advertisers can buy time within these “broadcast” programs to reach audiences in hundreds of markets. Estimates are that network TV reaches more than 90 percent of U.S. households.

Cable television transmits a wide range of programming to subscribers through wires rather than over airwaves. In the United States, about 60 million basic-cable subscribers are wired for cable reception and receive dozens of channels of sports, entertainment, news, music video, and homeshopping programming. Cable’s power as an ad option has grown enormously during the past decade as cable’s share of the prime-time viewing audience has grown.

Syndicated television is either original programming or programming that first appeared on network TV. It is then rebroadcast on either network or cable stations with pending distribution on the Internet. Syndicated programs provide advertisers with proven programming that typically attracts a well-defined, if not enormous, audience. It includes several sub-types: off-network syndication, first-run syndication, and barter syndication.

Local television Local TV is the programming other than the network broadcast that independent stations and network affiliates offer local audiences. Completely independent stations air old movies, sitcoms, or children’s programming. Network affiliates get about 90 hours of programming a week from the major networks, but they are free to air other programming beyond that provided by the network.

109. You are selling advertising space for a local radio station. However, many of your potential advertisers use television extensively because of its creative opportunities. What advantages would your radio station offer potential advertisers that television advertising cannot match?

ANSWER:

The radio provides several advantages that the television does not. First, radio advertising offers a low absolute cost in reaching potential customers. Second, it offers better geographic selectivity than television can. The narrow transmission of local radio stations gives advertisers the best opportunity to reach well-defined geographic audiences. Third, it reaches customers at home, at work, in the car, in the backyard, in retail outlets and malls, and in other public places. The wireless and portable features of radio provide an opportunity to reach consumers that exceeds all other media. Fourth, it is a more flexible medium than television because it has short closing periods for submitting an ad. This means an advertiser can wait until close to an air date before submitting.

Scenario 14-3 With social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter garnering so much attention from consumers and businesses alike, it is hard to believe that only 20 percent of small businesses are utilizing the sites to help promote their products and services. But this figure is precisely what was reported in a 2009 study conducted by MerchantCircle, a social network for small businesses. When the survey results were released in 2010, experts were not surprised to see the percentage of social media users increase to nearly 50 percent. According to Darren Waddell, vice president of marketing at MerchantCircle, companies are turning to social media for advertising because it is relevant and an inexpensive way to reach target consumers. Rather than pouring large sums of money into traditional marketing, business owners are finding more creative ways to promote their brand. One of the more common practices for small business owners utilizing social media is including URLs on business cards—of all sites, Facebook (no surprise) was the most common site to make it onto business cards.

114. Explain why it is crucial for advertisers to understand how consumers think, feel, and act regarding social media, online advertising, and e-commerce. Can social media be leveraged profitably? Explain.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

The role of digital and social media in advertising is a big one, and it will stay and grow with new technology such as mobile marketing. New media brings new vernacular to consumers. These online terms and brands have changed the way of online consumer behavior, advertising, and branding. Online advertisers should know where and why consumers go online, how that relates to where they go offline, as well as what makes them tick. This will help them understand consumer lifestyles, attitude, affect, emotion, and online consumer behavior so that they can maximize online and offline customer experiences. This will, in turn, help instill brand loyalty with offline, experiential marketing. Online advertisers should not just incorporate but also embrace social media to enhance their online presence. One way to leverage social media could be to align corporate websites and social media objectives to enhance return on investment for digital advertising.

ANSWER:

An advertiser can run display/banner ads at high-traffic sites. This will offer a relatively high level of exposure to an advertising message that can then send the surfer to the required site. One can place display/banner ads on sites that attract specific market niches relevant to the brand to encourage travel to the site. The advertiser can register his site with an online search engine selecting keywords so that the website address and a click-through connection will appear when users type in any of these keywords during a search. The advertiser can opt for a paid search with this engine to have ads for the site placed next to search results. One can offer widgets that allow users to customize the information they’d like to regularly receive from the advertiser. Finally, the advertiser can use traditional media as an effective way to increase interest about the site.

116. Explain the terms paid search and search engine optimization? What are the similarities and differences between the two? Use an example to explain each of the concepts.

ANSWER:

Both the terms refer to ways in which advertisers get their company's name on or near a list of results when a user searches on the Web. A paid search refers to the actions of advertisers on the Web, whereas search engine optimization refers to the behavior of consumers on the Web. Paid search is a process by which advertisers pay a fee to a portal or search engine site to place ads in or near relevant search results based on key words. For example, if you Google “baby toys” you will find ads for Internet toy retailers within or next to the list of search results. Paid search can also fine-tune a Web user’s search to focus on relevant and specific sites. For example, when an astronomy buff who has made several searches on astronomy-related terminology enters the word “Saturn,” the search will show results about the planet and not the car.

Search engine optimization (SEO) refers to the process by which the volume and quality of traffic from search engines is improved based on the surfers’ profiles. This affects the location of the site on a search results list. The higher that a site is shown on a list, the more likely that a user will visit the site, although the cost may be higher.

For example, when a user types a key word on Google search, some of the most popular sites currently being accessed will come up first.

How can they affect social media advertising? List out the ways in which individuals can protect themselves. What is the consequence of blocking websites that track your digital footprint?

It is key to explore consumer perception of both privacy and security because security refers to how safe the site or app is and privacy is more about how the host maintains consumer data and online consumer behavior. Establishing the highest standards for privacy and security are important for online brand managers. Doing so can help etailers make sure that they are accurately addressing concerns that their customers have that could prevent them from completing online transactions.

Cyber-identity theft is having one’s identity stolen by online or digital means. It can inhibit some consumers from shopping and banking online. Online resistance is an attitude or behavior against the digital movement, at times. It can occur if consumers perceive that marketers and advertisers are trying to stomp on their sacred territory in the social media. Both of these can reduce online sales and transactions and thus the effectiveness of online advertising.

To protect their privacy, individuals can clear out needless cookies, read privacy policies, and pay attention to logos that show that a site has been endorsed or is a member of a third-party privacy endorser, known as a privacy seal. Though difficult to do, they can also keep a track of their digital footprint and choose to make their social media data private through the privacy settings of the websites.

People can choose to block websites that keep track of their online browsing data.

This way their privacy will be more secure from unwanted intrusions. However, blocking these websites also means that fewer number of relevant or useful online ads will reach these people.

118. The unique characteristics of the Web has given advertisers who use it a definite edge over their competitors. What are the advantages of the new digital/interactive media being used in advertising today? Discuss a product or service that has successfully demonstrated one or more of these elements in its digital/mobile advertising.

ANSWER:

There are four major advantages of digital/interactive media: Interactivity is one of those lofty goals of advertisers that could never have been truly accomplished with traditional media, but is sometimes achieved through digital/interactive media. Ads in traditional media may have allowed consumers to clip coupons, enter contests, or write testimonial letters. But the new media are designed for all forms of interactivity—chats, blogs, comments, forums, activities, games, etc.

A click-through allows the user to click on an ad and get a virtual tour, visit a home page, read product specifications, enter a discussion about a brand, or most importantly, purchase the product online immediately. If advertisers can attract surfers to the brand website, there is the opportunity to convert that surfer to a buyer if the site is set up for e-commerce. Design components of various digital or mobile or tablet ad formats can have an important effect on click-through and sales potential.

Integration refers to the ability of advertisers to include their home page URL as well as the online address of special promotions, contests, or related sites on virtually all of their other forms of advertising and promotion. Digital and mobile advertising is most easily integrated and coordinated with other forms of promotion. The integration of Web activities with other components of the marketing mix is one of the easiest integration tasks in the IBP process. This is due to the flexibility and deliverability of Web advertising. Social media also provides a seamless interface with the most traditional of IBP tools, television. Television ratings for live events, such as the Grammys and the Oscars, have spiked in recent years as viewers tweet and post on Facebook to alert friends to the awards and to their reactions to the proceedings.

On a cost-per-thousand (CPM) basis, the cost of Web ads for the most part compares favorably with ads placed in traditional media. The real attraction of digital is not found in raw numbers and CPMs, but rather in terms of highly segmentable and highly motivated audiences. The Internet is ideally suited for niche marketing. Engagement via a Digital Footprint. Companies, nonprofits, and human brands alike can engage others via their online presence. The integration of print campaigns with Facebook and a QR code that brings the consumer to the product’s website is a way to engage via hybrid channels. Based on privacy settings, online history of what one posts becomes a digital paper trail, available for anyone to reflect back on. The information that one shares creates a digital footprint, defined as your profile of personal information, accessible online to a spectrum of people.

Scenario 15-1 One of the nation’s most popular times for sales promotions was a great deal longer than usual in 2010. Black Friday, which typically takes place the Friday following Thanksgiving, started in October for a number of retailers and was also scheduled to occur throughout the month of November. Sears and Walmart, who had been experiencing a continuous decline in sales recently, were the biggest names behind the move. Executives from a number of companies began to realize that consumers respond to the word “sale,” regardless of the time of year, so they decided to simply stretch the period of time in which their biggest sales ran. Companies designed new sale flyers and circulars, and began to promote the various sales on their websites. Other companies such as Target were also implementing a similar strategy—by emphasizing savings earlier in the season and for a longer period of time, company executives hoped their brand would be the first, second, and last choice for consumers during the holiday season.

Scenario 15-5 Starting in late 2010, shoppers at a number of Bloom supermarkets will be able to watch commercials on small notebook-sized monitors as they stroll through the aisles. The devices, or 3GTV’s as creator Automated Media Services calls them, will advertise products nearby ranging from macaroni noodles to peanut butter. The minitelevisions are part of a pilot program in nine of the grocer's locations in Maryland and Virginia to test the effectiveness of commercials at the Point-Of-Purchase. Advertisers who are growing increasingly frustrated by TiVo and DirectTV's fast-forwarding capabilities, will be able to pitch consumers at what Automated believes is the most crucial point in the sale process. The new technology could help grocery stores such as Bloom save money on circulars, but the transition will likely not come without conflict. Before the first 3GTV was even activated, one coalition group argued that the system would undercut parental authority by causing children to lobby for the product being advertised.

ANSWER:

Over the past decade, many marketers have moved the emphasis of their spending away from traditional advertising and toward sales promotions—those involving consumer, trade, and business populations. There are several reasons why marketers have been shifting funds from mass media advertising to sales promotions: 1. Managers are demanding greater accountability for promotional spending.

2. Organizations and stockholders are setting a short-term orientation toward generating revenue.

3. Consumers are responding positively to sales promotions.

4. Marketers are causing a proliferation of brands in many product categories, while also needing to gain attention and differentiate their brand.

5. Retailers are becoming more powerful by demanding recompense from manufacturers in return for giving brands favorable placement or other special attention.

6. Advertising clutter is taking over mass media and requiring greater ingenuity to achieve breakthrough.

105. Describe any five of the consumer-market sales promotion techniques.

ANSWER:

A number of sales promotion techniques are commonly used to target consumer markets: Coupons - the oldest and most widely used form of promotion, entitle the buyer to a designated price reduction. They allow discounts to some while still selling the product at full-price to others, may induce brand switching, can stimulate repeat purchases, may lead to the purchase of more expensive brands within a line, and are controlled by the manufacturer.

Price-off deals - offer discounts at the Point-of-Purchase through specially marked packages. The reduction is taken from the manufacturer's profits rather than the retailer’s, is controlled by the manufacturer, compares the product favorably to that of competitors, is appreciated by consumers who want a straightforward deal, and often leads to multiple purchases as buyers stock up while a brand is on sale.

Premiums - are items that are offered free, or at a reduced price, along with the purchase of a product or service. Free premiums are sometimes attached to or included within the packaging, mailed to the consumer who sends a proof-ofpurchase, or simply given away. Self-liquidating premiums are items available to interested consumers at a reduced cost, usually by mailing in a form and proof-ofpurchase. They work well with loyal consumers.

Advertising specialties - are small but useful items with the brand name or slogan prominently displayed. They always involve a message and are given away for free, with no obligation to make a purchase.

Contests and sweepstakes - Contests allow consumers to compete for prizes based on skill or ability. Sweepstakes require no particular skills but only luck, as winners are drawn at random via entry forms or scratch-off cards.

106. Describe the various sampling techniques used in consumer-market sales promotion.

ANSWER:

Six techniques are used in sampling: • In-store sampling is popular for food products and cosmetics. This is a preferred technique for many marketers because the consumer is at the P-O-P and may be swayed by a direct encounter with the brand. Increasingly, in-store demonstrators are handing out coupons as well as samples.

• Door-to-door sampling is extremely expensive because of labor costs, but it can be effective if the marketer has information that locates the target segment in a welldefined geographic area. Some firms enlist the services of newspaper delivery people, who package the sample with daily or Sunday newspapers as a way of reducing distribution costs.

• Mail sampling allows samples to be delivered through the postal service. Again, the value here is that certain zip-code markets can be targeted. A drawback is that the sample must be small enough to be economically feasible to mail. Specialty sampling firms provide targeted geodemographic door-to-door distribution as an alternative to the postal service.

• On-package sampling, a technique in which the sample item is attached to another product package, is useful for brands targeted to current customers. Attaching a small bottle of Ivory conditioner to a regular-sized container of Ivory shampoo is a logical sampling strategy.

• Mobile sampling is carried out by logo emblazoned vehicles that dispense samples, coupons, and premiums to consumers at malls, shopping centers, fairgrounds, and recreational areas.

107. List and describe the four main techniques commonly used in trade-market sales promotions. Choose one type and demonstrate how it would operate within a certain type of industry, profession, or business.

ANSWER:

Incentives - to members of the trade include awards in the form of travel, gifts, or cash bonuses for reaching targeted sales levels. These can induce retailers and wholesalers to give a firm's brand added attention. Push money is a type of incentive involving monetary rewards to salespeople who feature and ultimately sell a particular brand.

Allowances - are seen in several forms as used in a push strategy. Merchandise allowances, in the form of free products packed with regular shipments, act as payments to the trade for setting up and maintaining displays. Shelf space has become so highly demanded, especially in supermarkets, that manufacturers are making direct cash payments, known as slotting fees, to induce food chains to stock an item.

Monetary discounts are also seen in the form of bill-back allowances and off-invoice allowances.

Training programs - have become an increasingly popular trade promotion for retail store personnel. The increased complexity of many durable consumer goods has made it important for manufacturers to ensure that the proper pieces of information and the most persuasive themes are reaching consumers at the Point-of-Purchase.

Cooperative advertising - occurs when the manufacturer shares the cost of media with the retailer. This extends the reach and frequency for both brands, at less cost than advertising alone.

The various P-O-P formats used by retailers are: Window and door signage - which includes any sign that identifies or advertises a company or brand.

Shelf talker - which is a printed card or sign mounted on or under a shelf.

Interactive unit - which is a computer-based kiosk dispensing product information, recipes, or coupons.

Aisle directory - which is the list or map that depicts contents of a store aisle and provides space for an ad message.

Retail digital signage - which includes video displays mounted on ceilings or walls, set as end-of-aisle caps, or given strategic shelf placement.

Briefly outline the report you would write, paying particular attention to the best way to promote the brand, the type of product or service you are selling, the geographic area you are in, the demographics of the local population, etc.

ANSWER:

Student answers will vary depending on the type of business they choose, the nature of the brand, and the product or service they are promoting.

Billboard advertising - is perhaps the oldest form of advertising in America, dating back to posters and notices tacked up for the public to read during the Revolutionary War. Today, they can provide wide exposure if they manage to grab attention with minimal text and striking imagery. They often include specialized lighting, moving parts, or rotating digitalized displays. Drawbacks include poor locations, time and effort in finding locations, long or confusing messages, environmental issues, and consumers who don’t notice them.

Transit advertising - is similar to billboard advertising and is sometimes used simultaneously. It is popular around the world and is seen in many venues, including on the backs of buildings, in subway tunnels, in terminals, on station platforms, and on the vehicles. Many types of transit ads now use digital signage that creates customized messages for various neighborhoods or times of day. It does well in building or maintaining brand awareness, and particularly in targeting adults who work in major metropolitan areas, offering repetitive message exposure to commuters. The drawbacks are similar to those for billboards. Includes lengthy or complex messages, media clutter on busy streets and in public transit facilities, and busy or distracted commuters who tune out the ad message.

Scenario 16-3 In July 2010, a sports-focused social networking site named MyMVPs.com was launched. The site, which has been described by founder Mark Monaco as a hybrid of Facebook, ESPN and YouTube, will allow athletes, proud parents, and sports fans alike to view highlights of amateur athletes, check out the week’s funniest sports bloopers, and chat with various sports celebrities registered with the free online service. Erin Dwyer, co-founder and one of the four individuals responsible for the site’s success, believes the service will be incredibly beneficial not only for amateur athletes with college aspirations, but also for colleges with tight recruiting budgets. Dwyer stated, “It’s huge for little kids and it’s gigantic for high school athletes who want to get to college. For some schools with tight budgets for recruiting, coaches will be able to jump on a website that is clean and safe and gives them information on a player. That can give them an advantage.” Still in its early stages, the company is looking to get its name out there as much as possible—and with partnerships with sports legends such as Mike Ditka, the company appears to be headed in the right direction.

94. What is meant by the term Madison & Vine? Explain why this convergence has occurred in the world of promotion.

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

The term Madison & Vine refers to the combination of two previously separate entities; advertising (located on Madison Avenue in New York), and entertainment (located at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine in Los Angeles). This convergence occurred due to several conditions present in the marketing world, the corporate culture, and the larger society. Advertisers are always searching for new ways to reach consumers, and entertainment provided the perfect avenue. They found that they could sponsor events, connect their name to entertainment venues, and embed their products in TV and film productions. Meanwhile, consumers have been given an increasing number of options to be informed and entertained, always finding new ways to fill their leisure time. Where there was once only television, radio, newspapers, and magazines, there are now video games, mobile devices, cell phones, and almost unlimited possibilities on the Internet, including social networking sites. All of these now act as media vehicles for embedded branding and promotional messages, effectively combining advertising and entertainment in new ways.

ANSWER:

The concept of Chaos Scenario was proposed by Bob Garfield, of Advertising Age, in his prediction of a mass exodus by advertisers as they flee from traditional media. His idea is that advertisers will continually shift their advertising dollars away from traditional formats because of ongoing audience fragmentation as well as technology that allows for ad-avoidance. He predicts that those ad dollars instead will be spent on new media in a new advertising world that will not depend on 30-second television commercials or glossy magazine spreads. One repercussion will be seen in alreadystruggling networks that will get less funds to create quality programming, and will therefore lose even more audience members. The end result will be a rapid downward spiral of the old-fashioned media formats. It is impossible to say whether this mass exodus will actually happen, and traditional media will die; but there is already a shift in ad dollars from traditional media to new digital, mobile, and entertainment formats.

96. Discuss the nature and use of product placement. Explain, with examples, which forms of media do today’s advertisers specifically use for product placement.

ANSWER:

Product placement involves placing any branded product into the content and execution of an established entertainment vehicle, one that is already in development or is in ongoing broadcast mode. Advertisers pay for the ability to expose or promote their brand by showing it in some way in a television show, film, video game, or novel; or by having it physically present at a sporting event, movie theater, festival, concert, or other public entertainment venue. It is most effective when used with other promotions.

Television shows are well-known formats for product placement, especially soap operas, reality shows, and sitcoms. Product placement is often seen in movies when automakers feature particular vehicles during car chases. Product placement is increasingly seen in video games in the form of cars, snacks, beverages, and any number of goods that appear on virtual billboards and signage.

Product placement may or may not involve a celebrity connection, but either way, it can be difficult to measure. It works best when it is integrated well with the content, characters, and script so the presence of the product is believable and realistic, a concept referred to as having authenticity.

DIFFICULTY: Moderate LEARNING OBJECTIVES: AIBP.OGUI.15.16-2 NATIONAL STANDARDS: United States - BUSPROG: Reflective Thinking STATE STANDARDS: United States - Ohio - DISC: Promotion KEYWORDS: Bloom's: Application 97. Explain how branded entertainment differs from product placement, and what its future is as a branding tool. Give two examples of branded entertainment to support your answer.

ANSWER:

Branded entertainment entails the development and support of any entertainment property where the primary objective is to feature one’s brand or brands to impress and connect with consumers in a unique and compelling way.

Branded entertainment and brand placement differ in one clear way. In branded entertainment, the property would not exist without the marketer’s support. In product placement, the property already exists or is already in development, and the branded product will be added to it.

Examples will vary among students. One example of this distinction is seen in two BMW promotions. In 1995, product placement was used in the BMW placement of the Z3 in the James Bond thriller GoldenEye. In 2001, branded entertainment was seen with the BMW promotion of the Z4 in the firm’s own custom-made, Web-distributed short films that featured Marilyn Manson, Clive Owen, and other stars that launched a new era of branded entertainment.

The obvious obstacle that may limit the future of branded entertainment is oversaturation. Like any other faddishly popular promotional tactic, if advertisers pile it on too quickly, a jaded consumer and cluttered environment will result.

98. Procter & Gamble is a prime example of a giant advertiser that has successfully used branded entertainment over many decades. How has P&G incorporated branded entertainment into its marketing mix over the years?

ANSWER:

P&G launched into branded entertainment as early as 1923 with its radio program, Crisco Cooking Talks, a 15-minute program featuring recipes and advice that prominently featured its shortening product called Crisco. By 1937, P&G marketers realized listeners wanted more than recipes, so it created a new format for radio known as the soap opera, featuring dramatic story lines that would lure listeners to tune in every day. It began with Guiding Light, which moved to television by 1952 and is considered the longest-running show in the history of electronic media even though it was canceled in 2009. Today P&G works with other media partners to create shows in which the brands are embedded and the entertainment is branded.

Lack of coordination of an IBP effort often leads to disagreement and conflict within the business environment.

What kind of factors commonly work against coordination? Explain those specific to an organization that handles the entire effort internally, and those specific to an organization that uses some external sources.

ANSWER:

Coordinating a complex IBP effort is a challenge for any organization. The chief problem in achieving coordination is that there can be an incredible lack of alignment around who is responsible for achieving the integration. The question involves whether the client or the agency should accept this responsibility. Ad agencies often see themselves in this lead role of architect and general contractor, but not many have demonstrated great success in this area.

As advertising has become more complex, organizations have often become reliant on functional specialists. Specialists, by definition, focus on their specialty and can lose sight of the big picture and the efforts of others in the organization. Specialists also want their own budgets. Internal competition for budget dollars often yields rivalries and animosities that work against coordination.

Few ad agencies have all the internal skills necessary to fulfill clients' demands for integrated marketing communications today. For example, interactive media often require special skills that are not held by most traditional ad agencies. Therefore, external sources must be used. External contractors often do not understand the overall strategy of the IBP effort. And the greater the number of external organizations delivering messages to potential customers, the greater the coordination challenge.

Most importantly, the main objective underlying the need for coordination is to achieve a synergistic effect for a consistent brand meaning.

Scenario 17-1 If you walk into a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, you’ll see many items once found in general stores, like porcelain signs, ceramic jugs, tin boxes, and Coca-Cola trays and plaques. Since 2004, Coca-Cola Co. has maintained a larger display of unique Coca-Cola memorabilia at the Cracker Barrel in Nashville, right next to the Opryland Hotel. Visitors will find a number of rare holiday paintings, prints, and calendars featuring the familiar Santa Claus figure and a bottle of Coke.

Scenario 17-3 As the number of firms utilizing direct marketing continues to grow, so does the number of consumers opposed to the methods often described as “intrusive.” To combat the growing number of opposed consumers, marketers need to find creative new ways to optimize their direct marketing campaigns. One such outlet that firms are beginning to experiment with is social media. Executives understand that many consumers view a company’s Facebook page more often than the company’s home page, so they’ve grown to realize that setting up some form of an email opt-in on social media sites is a great way to build marketing databases. In addition to opt-in sections, social media allows businesses to interact with consumers, which may make them less inclined to respond negatively to a company’s direct marketing efforts. By utilizing social media more often in the future, a number of U.S. companies hope to build stronger and more useful marketing databases.

87. (Scenario 17-3) Building a marketing database can be helpful because it allows companies to gauge how receptive customers may be to new products or product features.

Scenario 17-4 Trapper's Lake Lodge is a rustic hotel situated on a large lake in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area. The lodge offers a relaxing getaway as well as guided fishing, hunting, bicycling, and cross-country skiing trips from its remote location 250 miles away from a major airport. Guests must travel the last 40 miles on a rough dirt road during the summer months or ride a special snow car during the snow season. Trapper's Lake Lodge management has found that guests almost always have a wonderful experience during their stay and swear they will visit again. Nonetheless, the biggest problem is getting people to visit in the first place, probably due to the difficult travel involved. So the lodge management has decided to mount an aggressive direct marketing campaign to increase first-time guest visits as well as to nurture loyal frequent visitors.

96. What is meant by the term direct marketing? What elements have contributed to its growth and popularity in recent years? What are the three principal purposes that a direct marketing program could serve for a company?

ANSWER:

According to the Direct Marketing Association, direct marketing is an interactive system of marketing which uses one or more advertising media to effect a measurable response and/or transaction at any location. It is interactive because it attempts to initiate and maintain a dialogue with customers, and it involves multiple forms of media to be most effective.

Some elements that have contributed to its recent growth and popularity are convenience (including time-savings for the consumer); credit cards (including more liberal views about using credit and accumulating debt); toll-free numbers (which make it simpler and more appealing to respond to direct marketing efforts); and computers (allowing for quick response and comparison shopping on the part of consumers, and easy ways to tract and interact with customers on the part of businesses).

The most common purpose that direct marketing serves is to close the sale with a customer. It can also identify prospects for future contacts. And it can be used to engage customers by seeking their advice, giving them information, addressing their concerns, rewarding their support, or fostering their loyalty.

Define list enhancement, and discuss two simple ways to conduct it. What four categories of information can be included to help define various populations and target markets?

ANSWER:

List enhancement refers to any additions or expansions that are made within a basic internal mailing list such as a basic name-and-address file. It involves merging existing records with new information. One way to do this is to simply purchase lists with more names and addresses from a research firm or noncompetitive business, and add these to the existing internal list. The second way is to incorporate information from external databases into the original list.

The four categories of information that are often used to enhance lists are as follows: Demographic data, the basic descriptors of households and consumers supplied by the Census Bureau.

Geo-demographic data, the information about the neighborhood in which a person lives.

Psychographic data, the information involving a person’s lifestyle, interests, and opinions.

Behavioral data, the information about other products and services the person has purchased.

98. You are the marketing manager for the Internet’s largest online shoe retailer. The company ships shoes of all types, styles, and sizes to locations throughout the U.S. and around the world. Given a choice between access to a mailing list and access to a marketing database, which would you choose? Define each and state the advantages of your choice?

ANSWER:

A mailing list is simply a file of the names and addresses that your business could use in contacting current or prior customers. An internal list (an organization’s records of its own customers, subscribers, donors, and inquirers) offers little perspective on the best marketing prospects for the future. But it can be enhanced with information from external lists by adding additional names, or by merging it with other lists to match up demographic, geo-demographic, behavioral, and psychographic data with these customers.

A marketing database has all of the information that would be on this mailing list, plus one more element—it includes information about individuals' preferences and behavior patterns, collected directly from the customers. It allows marketers to give customers personalized attention because they understand their likes and dislikes, purchasing patterns, frequency and timing of purchases, nature of returns (a common issue with online shoe purchases), and other details related to shopping and consumption. In addition, it can form the basis for an RFM (reach, frequency, and monetary) analysis.

This allows marketers to target their most profitable customers with special promotions and personal attention. Therefore, the marketing database would probably be more advantageous for the retail shoe business.

99. Marketing databases are used by businesses for three concrete tasks or specific applications. Identify and define all three. Select one of them and demonstrate how it is used by a well-known corporation, manufacturer, retailer, or service provider.

ANSWER:

Businesses use marketing databases in at least three specific applications—the RFM analysis, the frequency marketing program, and the cross-selling effort.

An RFM analysis provides data on recency, frequency, and monetary elements. This means it reviews the database and tells the marketer how often a customer is buying from the company, how recently that customer has made a purchase, and how much that customer is spending. In this way it calculates the value of the customer based on past behavior and purchasing patterns.

A frequency marketing program recognizes and reinforces buying behavior in preferred customers. It has three elements—a database to hold its collective memory; a benefit package to attract and retain customers; and a communication strategy to keep an ongoing dialogue going with the firm’s best customers.

A cross-selling effort identifies customers who have already purchased one of the firm’s products and creates a marketing strategy to encourage them to purchase other products the firm offers. In an extension of cross-selling, a firm can turn this information around and do just the opposite. It can determine which types of customers have bought a certain product, and then pitch that product to others in the database who share some of the same characteristics or demographics. Student examples may vary.

A national big-box retailer has created a new marketing database. But it has become the center of great conflict among the departments within the firm. It has also caused problems between the retailer and its advertising agency.

Why is such a useful tool creating this discord?

ANSWER:

DIFFICULTY:

A marketing database is a powerful source of information, and, within a giant retail company like this, those who don't have access to it can become envious of those who do. In addition, the effective use of the database can lead to increased funding for the department that is responsible for direct marketing efforts. Often, this additional money comes from other departments' budgets. That always creates conflict. The database can also reallocate promotional budgets. Therefore, the advertising agency for this retailer may work only with conventional media and therefore may lose income to other companies that offer direct marketing expertise.

101. Discuss why the role of personal selling is a critical one in the direct marketing tool kit, and briefly explain the three types of personal selling.

ANSWER:

Personal selling is critically important for establishing face-to-face communication with consumers. Face-to-face interactions enhance persuasion and are often necessary in selling products involving high technology or a high price. Products that are complicated to use, require demonstration, or must be customized to individual consumer needs are also more successfully marketed when the IBP mix includes a personal selling approach. The following are the three types: Order taking: A familiar sales role, one that involves documenting new purchases from consumers or businesses who want to buy goods or schedule services. What is not generally understood is that order takers very often act as the first line for establishing a dialogue with the customer.

Creative selling: It is needed when the consumer relies heavily on the sales person for technical information, advice, and service.

System selling: It entails offering a set of interrelated components rather than a single item, and sometimes a full range of products and services needed by customers. This often involves industrial manufacturers, producers of heavy equipment, or government buyers who have complex purchasing processes; and prefer dealing with a single firm, or a small group of firms, rather than multiple suppliers.

Scenario 18-4 In the summer of 2010, basketball star LeBron James found himself in the middle of a PR nightmare when he decided to turn his decision regarding his future team into an hour-long spot on ESPN, which was entitled, “The Decision.” Almost immediately, fans and critics alike began to express their distaste for the way the multimillionaire handled the situation. Many fans’ opinions of the star were greatly altered and James’ positive public image appeared to be shattered. Perhaps, even worse than the damage to his image, the Lebron James “brand” began to take a hit when his jerseys were pulled from many stores and websites, and thousands of fans vowed they would never buy James’ line of shoes ever again. Several months later, James began repairing his public image.

James, who endorses Nike products, came out with a controversial commercial that was believed to evoke sympathy. However, many others felt the commercial mocked the negative reaction expressed over “The Decision,” and was intended to re-brand the star as a rebel. Either way, LeBron James has a long way to go before he can re-again his title as one of the most beloved players in the NBA. 98.

Scenario 18-5 An old adage states that all publicity is good publicity. However, Professors Jonah Berger of the Wharton School, and Alan Sorensen and Scott Rasmussen of Stanford found that there is such a thing as bad publicity. The colleagues studied the relationship between bad publicity and its impact on music albums, books, and movies. In 2010, they published their findings in a journal called Marketing Science. After studying cases involving the late Michael Jackson, Russell Crowe, and various authors; the colleagues concluded that negative publicity can increase product sales. Michael Jackson sold more albums after receiving negative media attention, and films starring Russell Crowe received higher rankings following an incident in which he allegedly threw a cell phone at a hotel employee. These high-profile stars actually thrived after receiving substantial amounts of negative publicity.

However, in many low profile cases, negative publicity hurt sales and product reception. The three colleagues conducted an analysis of The New York Times’ reviews and book sales, and found that negative reviews hurt sales of books by well-established authors, but helped sales of books by relatively unknown authors. After conducting the study, the authors found that conventional wisdom is wrong: not all publicity is good publicity. But they did show that negative publicity can sometimes be positive; it all depends on existing-product awareness.

108. Public relations is the one tool that can accomplish a tough and often unpleasant task of damage control for a company. Explain and give at least two real-life examples of this process.

ANSWER:

Damage control is the task that only public relations can handle. Even the most careful, ethical, and organized companies will probably have to face negative publicity at some point—a product defect, a recall, a hazard, an accident, a public health issue, an employee scandal, etc. Issues can arise from internal problems that have been neglected or left unsolved, or from external forces that have risen and are completely out of the company’s control. This is where damage control comes in.

Public relations departments or directors can do several things to calm nerves and cool tempers. They need to focus on the company’s reputation and the preservation of the brand. But first, they need to give honest information, speak directly to the public, apologize, spell out the problem, their plan to solve it, and offer something to the public or the customers to make-up for the mistake. There are things that they should not do such as hide from the media, refuse to speak to the public, or insist they are right or innocent.

One of the first things they normally do is to contact the media and hold a press conference so they can address the issue, answer questions, and show that they are handling the situation. Press releases often come shortly afterwards, and even new ad messages may be created. Most importantly, PR personnel should be prepared in advance with accurate data and clear information at hand, even before “bad news” hits.

109. There are six main objectives of public relations efforts. List any three and give an example by identifying a company that sells a product or service that you purchase.

ANSWER:

Companies may have the following objectives as their goals for public relations efforts: 1. Promoting goodwill. This is an image-building function of public relations. Industry events or community activities that reflect favorably on a firm are highlighted.

2. Promoting a product or service. Press releases or events that increase public awareness of a firm's brands can be pursued through public relations.

3. Preparing internal communications. Disseminating information and correcting misinformation within a firm can reduce the impact of rumors and increase employee morale.

4. Counteracting negative publicity. The attempt here is not to cover up negative events, but rather to prevent the negative publicity from damaging the image of a firm and its brands.

5. Lobbying. The public relations function can assist a firm in dealing with government officials and pending legislation.

6. Giving advice and counsel. The public relations effort can assist management in determining what position to take on public issues, prepare employees for public appearances, and help management anticipate public reactions.

Student examples will vary.

110. How do proactive and reactive public relations strategies differ? Describe the steps necessary to implement each strategy.

ANSWER:

A proactive public relations strategy is guided by marketing objectives, seeks to publicize a company and its brands, and is offensive rather than defensive in spirit. It starts with a public relations audit, which identifies the characteristics and activities of a firm that are positive and newsworthy. The next step is to take information from the audit and turn it into a public relations plan. The plan identifies the objectives and activities related to the public relations communications issued by the firm. The components of a public relations plan include a current situation analysis, program objectives, program rationale, communications vehicles, and message content.

A reactive public relations strategy is guided by events outside the control of a company, focuses on problems to be solved rather than on opportunities, and requires defensive rather than offensive measures. Since the events that trigger a reactive public relations strategy are unpredictable and uncontrollable, it is much more difficult to implement a reactive than a proactive strategy. Part of the preparation for a reactive strategy occurs during the public relations audit prepared for the proactive strategy. The information provided by the audit gives a firm what it needs in a time of crisis so it can issue public statements based on current and accurate data. A second step in preparing a reactive strategy is the identification of vulnerabilities, that is, the areas of potential weakness in products or operations that might create a negative situation.

111. Describe the objectives and features of influencer marketing. Define, at least, three types that are in use today.

ANSWER:

Influencer marketing refers to a series of personalized techniques directed at individuals or groups who have the credibility and capability to drive positive word-ofmouth to a broader and salient segment of the population. In implementing an influencer marketing initiative, it is useful to think of it as systematic seeding of conversations involving a consumer, an influencer, and your brand.

Professional influencer programs utilize professionals in the field as influencers. These programs offer great credibility but they also require careful enlistment in the effort because professionals take their responsibilities very seriously. Several points should be kept in mind. First, a professional’s time is money, so wasting their time is likely to be counterproductive. Second, messaging a professional with information that offers them intellectual currency as well as important benefits of the brand will enhance their likelihood of participating. Finally, a successful professional influencer program requires long-term commitment.

Peer-to-peer influencer programs do similar work in spreading positive word-ofmouth, but rely on ordinary people to talk about products and brands in a positive way.

They spread the word through their own social groups, either in person or online.

Buzz and viral marketing are both subspecies of peer-to-peer influencer approaches.

In buzz marketing, the idea is to create an event or experience that yields conversations about a brand. In viral marketing, the goal is to have consumers market to other consumers, usually via the Internet, email, blogs, and social network sites, or via texting and downloading to mobile devices. Personal contact also works. In both buzz and viral programs, the idea is to target a handful of carefully chosen extroverts or trend setters as influencers, and let them spread the word about your brand.

112. What common goal does corporate image advertising, advocacy advertising, and cause-related advertising share?

Outline the unique features of each of these types of corporate advertising.

ANSWER:

The goal of all corporate advertising is to establish a favorable attitude toward a company as a whole.

Corporate image advertising focuses on enhancing the overall image of a firm among important constituents—usually customers, employees, and the general public. It can range from a general favorable image to a specific image.

Advocacy advertising attempts to establish an organization's position on important social, political, or environmental issues. Of course, a firm has a purpose in running such advocacy ads. Typically, the issue chosen is directly relevant to the business operations of the organization.

Cause-related advertising affiliates a firm with worthwhile social causes—reducing poverty, increasing literacy, curbing drug abuse, fighting disease. The idea behind cause-related marketing is that a firm launches an effort or funds a campaign that makes a positive difference in society. It may also donate money to a nonprofit organization in exchange for associating its company name with the work of that group. The purpose of cause-related marketing is to enhance the image of the firm in the minds of consumers by associating the firm with a worthy cause.

What has led to the growth and popularity of green marketing? What cautions should potential advertisers take before launching it since a number of corporations, manufacturers, and service industries have issued “green” messages?

ANSWER:

Green marketing refers to any corporate effort that attempts to align itself with a cause or movement in support of the environment. Like any promotion, the resulting ad campaign can reflect a sincere effort to do some good or a cheap imitation of such sentiment. Green marketing has reflected a socioeconomic movement that has been on and off in past decades. In the early 1990s, the book Green Marketing by Jacquelyn Ottman predicted that going green would be a marketing revolution, but it didn’t come to pass, at least not in the United States. Today, it appears that the movement really will take hold and create meaningful actions and messages on the part of the nation’s giant corporations as well as smaller businesses.

Advertisers and consumers should be aware that there are millions of “green claims” out there, but many are exaggerated, absurd, or false. It is easy for a company to incorporate the word “green” in its name, slogan, or packaging when it really doesn’t mean anything. Advertisers should also be aware that environmental issues are broad and complex. Even the best intentions of a socially conscious business may fall short.

The text advises firms to follow one law when launching a green marketing campaign —underpromise and overdeliver.
