Advertising
This is the mass media method of marketing communication and provides exposure to the largest, most geographically dispersed audience at the lowest cost per head. That being said, advertising costs can ad up quickly with mediums like television, radio and even online advertising which can be prohibitively expensive for many businesses.
Other traditional forms of paid advertising include newspapers and magazines, the Yellow Pages, billboards, signs and posters. As well, advertising on buses, benches, gas pumps and even public restrooms is in vogue today. Basically, any medium which provides an opportunity to target "eyes and/or ears" can be a venue for advertising and you can see examples of successful promotion in the most unlikely places.
The Marketing Communications or Promotional Mix
Your marketing plan will be executed by using the tactical elements of the Marketing Communications, or Promotions Mix.
Definitions:
Advertising - Any paid form of nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor.
Personal selling - Personal presentation by the firm’s sales force for the purpose of making sales and building customer relationships.
Sales promotion - Short-term incentives to encourage the purchase or sale of a product or service.
Public relations - Building good relationships with the company’s various publics by obtaining favorable publicity, building up a good "corporate image", and handling or heading off unfavorable rumors, stories, and events.
Direct marketing - Direct communications with carefully targeted individual consumers to obtain an immediate response and cultivate lasting customer relationships.
Reaches large, geographically dispersed audiences, often with high frequency; Low cost per exposure, though overall costs are high; Consumers perceive advertised goods as more legitimate; Dramatizes company/brand; Builds brand image; may stimulate short-term sales; Impersonal, one-way communication; Expensive
Most effective tool for building buyers’ preferences, convictions, and actions; Personal interaction allows for feedback and adjustments; Relationship-oriented; Buyers are more attentive; Sales force represents a long-term commitment; Most expensive of the promotional tools
May be targeted at the trade or ultimate consumer; Makes use of a variety of formats: premiums, coupons, contests, etc.; Attracts attention, offers strong purchase incentives, dramatizes offers, boosts sagging sales; Stimulates quick response; Short-lived; Not effective at building long-term brand preferences
Highly credible; Very believable; Many forms: news stories, news features, events and sponsorships, etc.; Reaches many prospects missed via other forms of promotion; Dramatizes company or product; Often the most under used element in the promotional mix; Relatively inexpensive (certainly not 'free' as many people think--there are costs involved)
Many forms: Telephone marketing, direct mail, online marketing, etc.; Four distinctive characteristics: Nonpublic, Immediate, Customized, Interactive; Well-suited to highly-targeted marketing efforts
When deciding upon your unique marketing communications mix, you should also consider the Product Life Cycle. Here are some general guideline as to how and when to emphasize different parts of the mix according to the stages of a typical product life cycle:
Product Life Cycle
Pre-Introduction: Light advertising, pre-introduction publicity
Introduction: Heavy use of advertising, public relations for awareness, sales promotion for trial
Growth: Advertising, public relations, branding and brand marketing, personal selling for distribution
Maturity: Advertising decreases, sales promotion, personal selling, reminder & persuasion
Decline: Advertising and public relations decrease, limited sales promotion, personal selling for distributionNext let's briefly walk through each of the various parts of the marketing communications mix.

Advertising Copy
Text of a print, radio, or television advertising message that aims at catching and holding the interest of the prospective buyer, and at persuading him or her to make a purchase all within a few short seconds. The headline of an advertising copy is said to be the most important part, and quite often a small change in its wording brings disproportionate results. Although a short advertising copy is more common in consumer-product advertising, according to the UK advertising guru David Ogilvy (1911-1999) people do read (and listen or attend to) lengthy advertisements if they are skillfully written. Most advertising copy is based on advertising/consumer research and is composed by professional copywriters hired by advertising agencies. Also called advertisement copy, ad copy, or just copy.
Types of Copy
• Scientific copy (Technical specifications are specified. E.g. High
involvement goods or durable goods or industrial goods.)
• Descriptive copy: In a non-technical manner, the product attributes are
described. The copy uses direct active sentences. There are short and
pithy sentences. It looks very commonplace announcement.
• Narrative copy: Here a fictional story is narrated. The benefits of the
product emerge from the story. Maybe, the narrative is humorous. Or
else, it has strong appeal. It should make an imprint on our memory.
• Colloquial copy: Here informal conversational language is used to
convey the message. It could even become a dialogue. In many TV
advertisements, we find the colloquial copy.
• Humorous copy: Humor has been heavily used in advertising-especially
in TV commercials. It is just as heavily suspect. But effective humor
makes the advertisement noticeable.
• Topical copy comes about when a copy is integrated to a recent
happening or event. Especially during the world cup days, you had ads
like – ‘Britannia Khao, World Cup Jao’.
• Endorsement copy here a product is endorsed by an opinion leader who
has a large following. I shall be discussing this at length in a later lecture.
• Questioning Copy: In this copy, several questions are put forward not to
seek answers but to emphasize a certain attribute.
• Prestige Copy The product is not directly advertised. Only a
distinguished and favorable atmosphere is created for the sale of the
product.
Advertising message and appeals
The most popular and widely accepted need scheme given by A.H.Mashlow
(i) Physiological Needs or Creature Comforts (Hunger, Thirst, Sex, etc.)
(ii) Safety Needs (Security, Protection, etc.)(iii) Love Needs (Affection, Belongingness, etc.)(iv) Esteem Needs (Self-Respect, Prestige, Social Approval,
Achievement, etc.)(v) Self Actualization Needs (Self-Fulfillment, Self-Experience, etc.)
Appeals and Advertising Message We have mentioned that the advertising message should appeal, directly or indirectly, to those key needs, which influence behavior response.
It may be an appeal, a time, an idea or a unique selling proposition. In fact, the message content ultimately formulates some kind of benefit, motive or reason why the audience should respond to, or do, something. The message content refers to what the advertiser has to say to the target audience that will produce the desired response. It may be an appeal, a time, an idea or a unique selling proposition.
Types of AppealsAppeals are broadly classified as rational, emotional and moral appeals.
Rational appeals are those directed at the thinking process of the audience. They involve some sort of a deliberate reasoning process, which a person believes would be acceptable to other members of his social group.
(i) High Quality: People buy television, stereophonic music systems, furniture, refrigerators, electric gadgets; kitchenware and a host of consumer durables for their high quality.
(ii) Low Price: Many people buy low-priced locally made air conditioners for their homes because they believe that these products will show a product performance similar to, or slightly inferior to, that of nationally reputed brands at higher price. (iii) Long Life, as of a car tyre that will give 30,000 kms, before its utility has been exhausted. (iv) Performance, as of a ballpoint pen that won't release excessive ink or skip under any circumstances. (v) Ease of use, as of a screwdriver with a magnetized tip which clings to the metal head of the screw, or a timer in the kitchen mixer which switches off automatically after a pre-determined time period. (vi) Re-sale Value, as of a two-wheeler scooter. "Bajaj" has a better re-sale value than any other make.(vii) Economy, in the operating expenses of some brands of refrigerator is greater because they consume less electricity. Many two-wheeler vehicles claim a better mileage per litre consumption of fuel than similar other vehicles.
Emotional appeals are those appeals, which are not preceded by careful analysis of the pros and cons of making a buying.
Emotions are those mental agitations or excited states of feeling which prompt us to make a purchase. Different emotional appeals, which are particularly important from the advertising point of view, are listed below. Following several motivation research studies, it has been found that negative emotional appeals are more effective than positive ones.
All brands have rational and emotional credentials. Levi's is youthful, rebellious and sexy. But it offers rational benefits like strength too. One has to balance between rational and emotional arguments.
Negative Emotional Appeals:
An advertiser may try to induce a particular behavioral change by emphasizing either positive or negative appeals, or a combination of both. For example, an advertising campaign to get the target audience to buy fire insurance may stress the positive aspect -low cost relative to other investment, the services the insurance company provides, early settlement of claims, and so on; or it may stress the negative aspect of not getting insurance - the danger of losing one's possessions or the ravages of fire.
Precautions while using the Emotional Route: 1. The advertising should have relevance. If the product needs attribute-based rational Advertising, emotional appeals should be avoided. 2. There should be a natural flow of feelings. 3. Execution should not be exaggerated. The level of emotionality should not exceed that Experienced by the consumer. 4. There is a difference between a consumer's emotions associated with the product / brand and a consumer's emotional reaction to the ad copy itself. Preferably, these two should be compatible.
Fear Appeals: The fear appeal is most important among emotional appeals, and also the most effective. It is said that the message's effectiveness increases with the level of fear it generates.
A recent ad of "Colgate" shows a man not able to bite because of severe toothache, and then suggests the use of " Colgate Salt" to avoid a recurrence of toothache.
first building up fear and then offering a solution with other positive appeals of the product advertised.Take the case of life insurance. Fear appeals are still required to sell policies. However, fear appeals fail in the case of the cancer hazard of cigarette smoking, which is often rejected by most smokers.
Moral appeals are those appeals to the audience that appeal to their sense of right and wrong. These are often used in messages to arouse a favorable response to social causes, such as prohibition, adult literacy, social forestry, anti-smuggling and hoarding, consumer protection, equal rights for women, social responsibility projects of corporations, rural development, siding weaker sections of society, employment generation, and so on. There are messages that appeal for generous donations for flood victims and for famine relief operations
Essentials of an Advertisement Appeal
(i) It must be thematically sound. (ii) It must be communicative. (iii) It must be interesting. (iv) It must have credibility. (v) It must have finality and be complete. (vi) It must contain truthful" information.
