SUMMARY
• Advertising is any paid form of nonpersonal presentation and
promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified
sponsor. Advertisers include not only business firms but also
charitable, nonprofit, and government agencies.
• Developing an advertising program is a five-step process:
(1) set advertising objectives,
(2) establish a budget,
(3) choose the advertising message and creative strategy,
(4) decide on the media, and
(5) evaluate communication and sales effects.
• Sales promotion consists of mostly short-term incentive tools,
designed to stimulate quicker or greater purchase of particular
products or services by consumers or the trade.
SUMMARY
• Events and experiences are a means to become part of special
and more personally relevant moments in consumers’ lives.
Events can broaden and deepen the sponsor’s relationship
with its target market, but only if managed properly.
• Public relations (PR) includes a variety of programs designed
to promote or protect a company’s image or its individual
products. Marketing public relations (MPR), to support the
marketing department in corporate or product promotion and
image making, can affect public awareness at a fraction of the
cost of advertising and is often much more credible. The main
tools of PR are publications, events, news, community affairs,
identification media, lobbying, and social responsibility.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this chapter we will address the following questions:
• What steps are required in developing an advertising
program?
• How should marketers choose advertising media and measure
their effectiveness?
• How should sales promotion decisions be made?
• What are the guidelines for effective brand-building events
and experiences?
• How can companies exploit the potential of public relations?
DEVELOPING AND MANAGING AN
ADVERTISING PROGRAM
Section 1
DEVELOPING AND MANAGING AN ADVERTISING PROGRAM
• Advertising can be a cost-effective way to disseminate messages,
whether to build a brand preference or to educate people.
• In developing an advertising program, marketing managers must
always start by identifying the target market and buyer motives.
THE FIVE M’S OF ADVERTISING
• The five M’s of advertising is any
paid form of non-personal
presentation and promotion of
ideas, goods/services by an
identified sponsor.
• In developing an advertising
program, marketers need to
identify the target market and
the buyers motives.
• The five major decisions in
developing the advertising
program known as the Five M’s
of Marketing. They are: mission,
money, message, media and
measurement.
Mission: What are our
advertising objectives?
Money: How much can we spend
and how do we allocate our
spending across media types?
Message: What should the ad
campaign say?
Media: What media should we
use?
Measurement: How should we
evaluate the results?
SETTING THE ADVERTISINGOBJECTIVES
Advertising objectives must flow
from earlier decisions about target
market, brand positioning, and the
marketing program.
An advertising objective (or goal) is a
specific communications task and
achievement level to be
accomplished with a specific
audience in a specific period of time
Advertising objectives are to inform,
persuade, remind, or reinforce.

products or new features of
existing products

DECIDING ON THEADVERTISINGBUDGET
• Although advertising is
treated as a current expense,
part of it is really an
investment in building brand
equity and customer loyalty.
• Factors Affecting Budget
Decisions:
Stage in the product life cycle
Market share and
consumer base
Competition and clutter
Advertising frequency
Product substitutability
DEVELOPING THE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
Advertisers employ both art and science to develop the message strategy or
positioning of an ad, what it attempts to convey about the brand, its creative
strategy and how it expresses the brand claims.
They use three steps:
1)message generation and evaluation
2)creative development and execution
3)social-responsibility review.
MESSAGE GENERATION AND EVALUATION
• Advertisers are always seeking “the big idea” that connects with consumers
rationally and emotionally, distinguishes the brand from competitors, and is
broad and flexible enough to translate to different media, markets, and time
periods
• A good ad normally focuses on one or two core selling propositions.
• As part of refining the brand positioning, the advertiser should conduct
market research to determine which appeal works best with its target
audience.
MESSAGE GENERATION AND EVALUATION
• The more themes explored, the higher the probability of finding an
excellent one.
• Marketers can also cut the cost of creative dramatically by using consumers
as their creative team, a strategy sometimes called “open sourcing” or
“crowdsourcing.”
• Consumer-Generated Advertising can be pure genius or a regrettable
failure.
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION
Television is the most powerful
advertising medium and reaches a
broad spectrum of consumers at low
cost per exposure.
• TV demonstrate product attributes
and persuasively explain consumer
benefits.
• TV portray user and usage imagery,
brand personality, and other
intangibles.
• Product-related messages and the
brand itself can be overlooked.
• High volume of nonprogramming
material on TV creates clutter that
makes it easy for consumers to ignore
or forget ads.
Television
Print Media
Radio
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION
Print media provides detailed product
information and effectively
communicate user and usage imagery.
• The visual images in print media
makes dynamic demonstrations
difficult, and print media can be fairly
passive.
• Newspapers are timely and
pervasive, magazines are typically
more effective at building user and
usage imagery.
• Print advertising has steadily declined
in recent years.
• Newspaper ads, relatively poor
reproduction quality and short shelf
life can diminish the impact.
Television
Print Media
Radio
CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION
Radio’s main advantage is flexibility—
stations are very targeted, ads are
relatively inexpensive to produce and
place, and short closings for scheduling
them allow for quick response.
• Radio can engage listeners through a
combination of popular brands, local
presence, and strong personalities.
• It is a particularly effective medium
in the morning; it can also let
companies achieve a balance
between broad and localized market
coverage.
• Radio’s obvious disadvantages are its
lack of visual images and the
relatively passive nature of the
consumer processing that results.

LEGAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES
• Advertisers must not make false claims, use false demonstrations, or
create ads with the capacity to deceive, even if no one is actually
deceived.
• Sellers in the United States are legally obligated to avoid bait-and-
switch advertising that attracts buyers under false pretenses.
CHOOSING AMONG MAJOR MEDIA TYPES
• Deciding on desired reach,
frequency, and impact; choosing
among major media types;
selecting specific media vehicles;
and setting media timing and
geographical allocation

Impact

REACH, FREQUENCY, AND IMPACT
• Media selection is finding the most cost-effective media to deliver the
desired number and type of exposures to the target audience.
• Impact is the qualitative value of an exposure through a given medium
• Reach is most important when launching new products, flanker brands,
extensions of well-known brands, and infrequently purchased brands or
when going after an undefined target market.
REACH, FREQUENCY, AND IMPACT
• Frequency is most important where there are strong competitors, a complex
story to tell, high consumer resistance, or a frequent-purchase cycle.
• A key reason for repetition is forgetting. The higher the forgetting rate
associated with a brand, product category, or message, the higher the
warranted level of repetition

CHOOSING AMONG MAJOR MEDIA TYPES
• Media planners make their choices by considering factors such as target
audience media habits, product characteristics, message requirements, and
cost.
• Place advertising, or out-of-home advertising, is a broad category including
many creative and unexpected forms to grab consumers’ attention where
they work, play, and, of course, shop.
PLACE ADVERTISING
BILLBOARD
• Billboards use colorful, digitally produced graphics, backlighting, sounds,
movement, and unusual—even 3D—images
PRODUCT
PLACEMENT
• Movie screens, airplane bodies, and fitness equipment, as well as in
classrooms, sports arenas, office and hotel elevators, and other public places
PLACE ADVERTISING
PRODUCT
PLACEMENT
• Marketers pay $100,000 to 500,000 so their products will make cameo
appearances in movies and on television
POINT OF SALE
• Part of shopper marketing; appeal of point-of-purchase advertising is that
consumers make many brand decisions in the store (shopping carts, cart
straps, aisles, and shelves and in-store demonstrations, live sampling, and
instant coupon machines
EVALUATING ALTERNATE MEDIA
• Nontraditional media can often reach a very precise and captive audience
in a cost-effective manner, with ads anywhere consumers have a few
seconds to notice them.
• Ad placements designed to break through clutter may also be perceived as
invasive and obtrusive in traditionally ad-free spaces such as in schools, on
police cruisers, and in doctors’ waiting rooms.
SELECTING SPECIFIC MEDIA VEHICLES
• The media
planner must
choose the
most cost-
effective
vehicles within
each chosen
media type.
• Media planners
rely on
measurement
services that
estimate
audience size,
composition,
and media cost
and then
calculate the
cost per
thousand
persons
reached.
• Media planners
are using more
sophisticated
measures of
effectiveness
and employing
them in
mathematical
models to arrive
at the best
media mix
MEDIA TIMING AND ALLOCATION
The advertiser makes both a
macroscheduling and a
microscheduling decision.
• The macroscheduling decision
relates to seasons and the
business cycle.
• The microscheduling decision
calls for allocating advertising
expenditures within a short
period to obtain maximum
impact.

MEDIA TIMING AND ALLOCATION
The chosen pattern should meet
the marketer’s communications
objectives and consider three
factors.
• Buyer turnover expresses the
rate at which new buyers enter
the market.
• Purchase frequency is the
number of times the average
buyer buys the product during
the period.
• The forgetting rate is the rate
at which the buyer forgets the
brand; the higher the forgetting
rate, the more continuous the
advertising should be.

MEDIA TIMING AND ALLOCATION
In launching a new product, the
advertiser must choose among
continuity, concentration, flighting,
and pulsing.
• Continuity means exposures
appear evenly throughout a given
period.
• Concentration calls for spending all
the advertising dollars in a single
period.
• Flighting calls for advertising during
a period, followed by a period with
no advertising, followed by a
second period of advertising
activity.
• Pulsing is continuous advertising at
low levels, reinforced periodically
by waves of heavier activity.

EVALUATINGADVERTISINGEFFECTIVENESS
• Communication-effect research, called copy testing, seeks to
determine whether an ad is communicating effectively.
• Sales-Effect Research- features and price are, the easier it is to
measure advertising’s effect on sales. The sales impact is
easiest to measure in direct marketing situations and hardest
in brand or corporate image-building advertising.
Developing and Managing an Advertising Program
Coca Cola - Questions
1. What does Coca-Cola stand for? Does it mean the same
thing to everyone? Explain.
2. Coca-Cola has successfully marketed to billions of people
around the world. Why is it so successful?
3. Can Pepsi or any other company ever surpass Coca-Cola?
Why or why not? What are Coca-Cola’s greatest risks?
Developing and Managing an Advertising Program
Coca Cola - Answers
1. What does Coca-Cola stand for? Does it mean the same thing to
everyone? Explain.
• Because Coke believed early on that to gain worldwide acceptance, it
needed to connect emotionally and socially with the masses and be “at
arm’s length” with everyone. Coco-Cola must understand and recognize
that “refreshment” means different things to different people around the
world. One of Coke’s strengths is how well it weaves the soft drink, Coke,
into people’s definitions of refreshment no matter where in the world they
live.
2. Coca-Cola has successfully marketed to billions of people around the
world. Why is it so successful?
• Coke has created a culturally relevant, uplifting global campaign that
translates well into different countries, languages, and cultures. Coke’s
advertising has primarily focused on the product’s ability to quench thirst.

Coca Cola - Answers
3. Can Pepsi or any other company ever surpass Coca-Cola? Why or why
not? What are Coca-Cola’s greatest risks?
• Student answers will vary based on their personal opinions and “tastes.”
Coke’s greatest risks have to be the managing of its mass communications
strategy and reaching the brand’s target market—it is so massive that the
right media and marketing message is critical. Concerns about obesity,
which have been associated with a general decline in soda consumption,
are a major risk. Coca-Cola also needs to be able to execute in emerging
markets, where water (a critical ingredient in its products) may be limited
and distribution logistics may be a challenge.
SALES PROMOTION
Section 2
WHAT IS SALES PROMOTION?
Sales promotion consists of a collection of incentive tools,
mostly short term, designed to stimulate quicker or greater
purchase of particular products or services by consumers or
the trade.
SALES PROMOTION
Some sales promotion tools are consumer
franchise building. They impart a selling message
along with the deal, such as free samples,
frequency awards, coupons and premiums.
Sales promotion tools that are typically not brand
building include price-off packs, consumer
premiums, contests and sweepstakes, consumer
refund offers, and trade allowances
SALES PROMOTION
Sales promotions in markets of high brand
similarity can produce a high sales response in
the short run but little permanent gain over the
longer term.
In addition to brand switching, consumers may
engage in stockpiling—purchasing earlier than
usual (purchase acceleration) or buying extra
quantities.
SALES PROMOTION
The fastest-growing area in sales
promotions is digital coupons,
redeemed via smart phone or
downloaded to a consumer’s printer.
• Digital coupons eliminate printing
costs, reduce paper waste, are easily
updatable, and have higher
redemption rates.
• Many retailers are now offering
customized coupons based on
consumer purchase histories

objectives, which derive from
basic marketing objectives.
• For example objectives for
consumers include encouraging
more frequent purchases.
• Retailer objectives include
persuading retailers to carry
new items and more inventory.

possess the desired image, and be
able to create the desired effects.
• The audience must match the target
market and make favorable
attributions for the sponsor’s
engagement.
• An ideal event is also unique but not
encumbered with many sponsors,
lends itself to ancillary marketing
activities, and reflects or enhances
the sponsor’s brand.

marketing program accompanying
an event sponsorship ultimately
determines its success.
• At least two to three times the
amount of the sponsorship
expenditure should be spent on
related marketing activities.
• Event creation is a particularly
important skill in publicizing
fund-raising drives for nonprofit
organizations.
• Fund-raisers have developed a
large repertoire of special events,
including anniversary
celebrations, art exhibits,
auctions etc.

• Experiential marketing not only communicates features and
benefits but also connects a product or service with unique
and interesting experiences.
• Many firms are creating their own events and experiences to
create consumer and media interest and involvement.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Section 4
PUBLIC RELATIONS
• Public relations (PR) includes
a variety of programs to
promote or protect a
company’s image or individual
products.
• PR departments counsel top
management to adopt
positive programs and
eliminate questionable
practices so negative publicity
doesn’t arise in the first place
and perform the following
five functions:
Press relations Product publicity
Corporate
communications
Lobbying
Counseling
MARKETING PUBLIC RELATIONS
• Marketing Public Relations (MPR)
support corporate or product
promotion and image making and
serves the marketing department.
• The task of securing editorial space in
print and broadcast media is to
promote or hype a product, service,
idea, place, person, or organization.
• MPR goes beyond simple publicity
and plays an important role in the
following tasks:
•Launching new products.
•Repositioning mature products
•Building interest in a product category
•Influencing specific target groups.
•Defending products that have
encountered public problems
•Building the corporate image in a way
that reflects favorably on its products.

CHOOSING PR MESSAGES AND VEHICLES
• By setting PR objectives, choosing PR messages and vehicles, implementing
the PR plan and evaluating PR results.
• To accomplish these goals, PR professionals use several tools such as news,
speeches, and special events, or preparing written, audiovisual, and
corporate identity materials and contributing money and time to public
service activities.
IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN AND EVALUATING RESULTS
• Easiest gauge of its effectiveness is the number of exposures carried by the
media, but it contains no indication of how many people actually read,
heard, or recalled the message because publications overlap in readership.
It also ignores the effects of electronic media.
• A better measure is the change in product awareness, comprehension, or
attitude resulting from the MPR campaign.

Coco-Cola must understand and recognize that “refreshment” means different things to different people around the world. One of Coke’s strengths is how well it weaves the soft drink, Coke, into people’s definitions of refreshment no matter where in the world they live. 2.

    Developing and Managingan Advertising Program Coca Cola - Answers 3. Can Pepsi or any other company ever surpass Coca-Cola? Why or why not? What are Coca-Cola’s greatest risks? • Student answers will vary based on their personal opinions and “tastes.” Coke’s greatest risks have to be the managing of its mass communications strategy and reaching the brand’s target market—it is so massive that the right media and marketing message is critical. Concerns about obesity, which have been associated with a general decline in soda consumption, are a major risk. Coca-Cola also needs to be able to execute in emerging markets, where water (a critical ingredient in its products) may be limited and distribution logistics may be a challenge.
