(2) What internal and external factors are at work? (3) Where should we focus our promotion efforts? There are several indices available to marketers to assist in answering these questions. The index number, using the ratio of the following variables, is considered a good indicator of market potential: Percentage of users in a demographic segment Percentage of population in the same segment An index number over 100 means use of the product is proportionately greater in that segment than in one that is average (100) or less than 100. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to the discuss the value of raw numbers provided by such firms as the Simmons Market Research Bureau and Mediamark Research Inc. versus percentage figures and index numbers.
  • #11 Relation to textThis slide relates to the material on pp. 326-328 and Figures 10-10 of the text. Summary OverviewThe Brand Development Index (BDI), shown on this slide, helps marketers determine where to allocate the media budget. The index uses the ratio of the following variables: Percentage of the brand to total U.S. sales in a given market Percentage of total U.S. population in the given market By performing the mathematical calculations shown on the slide, the advertiser would be able to determine the sales potential for the brand in a particular market area.The higher the BDI number, the greater the potential that exists. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to explain the Brand Development Index. This index helps marketers factor the rate of product usage by geographic area into the decision of where to allocate their media budget.
  • #12 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 326-328 and Figure 10-11 of the text. Summary OverviewThis slide shows the Category Development Index (CDI), which is another index that can help marketers determine where to allocate the media budget. It is computed in a manner similar to the BDI index, except that it uses information regarding the overall product category, rather than for specific brands. This index uses the ratio of the following variables: Percentage of the total product category sales in a given market Percentage of total U.S. population in the given market By performing the mathematical calculation shown on the slide, the advertiser can determine the potential for development of the total product category in a given area. When this information is combined with the BDI, a much more insightful promotional strategy may be developed. Beginning with the CDI, the marketer can first look at how well the product category does in a specific market area. Then a brand analysis would follow to see how well the brand is doing relative to its competitors. Together this information provides a clearer picture of where to allocate the media budget. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to explain the Category Development Index.

Summary OverviewThis slide provides further insight into some of the inferences based on BDI and CDI data for a given geographic area. Some inferences regarding the market potential for the brand and the category are: High BDI/High CDI – good sales potential for brand and product category Low BDI/High CDI – category has high potential, but brand isn’t doing well; determine why High BDI/Low CDI – category is not doing well, but brand is; may be a good market in which to advertise Low BDI/Low CDI – both category and brand are not doing well, not a good market in which to advertise Use of slideThis slide can be used to further explain the use of the BDI and CDI data. Knowing this information helps marketers decide where their advertising dollars should be spent to achieve the most impact.
  • #16 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 329-330 of the text and Figure 10-14. Summary OverviewDeveloping media strategies involves matching the coverage of the media vehicles to the target market. The chart on this slide shows the market coverage possibilities. Chart 1 – shows the target market as a proportion of the total population. Chart 2 – full coverage of the target market; optimal goal Chart 3 – partial coverage, leaving some customers without exposure Chart 4 – media coverage exceeds target audience; some coverage may be wasted The goal of the media planner is to extend media coverage to as many of the members of the target audience as possible, while minimizing the amount of excess or wasted coverage. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to show the various target market coverage scenarios.
  • #17 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on page 330 of the text. Summary OverviewSnow skiing is more popular in some parts of the country than in others. It would not be wise to promote skis in areas of low interest, unless the goal is to increase interest. And while it may be possible to promote an interest in skiing in Texas, a notable increase in sales is not likely, given the market’s distance from snow. Use of this slideUse this slide to point out that weighting certain geographic area more than others may make sense, depending on the product or service being marketed and the goal of the advertising campaign.
  • #18 Relation to textThis material relates to material on pp. 330-331 and Figure 10-16 of the text. Summary OverviewThe primary objective of media scheduling is to time advertising efforts so that they will coincide with the highest potential buying periods. This slide shows the three scheduling methods available to the media planner: Continuity – continuous pattern of advertising; every day, every week, or every month Flighting – intermittent periods of advertising and no advertising Pulsing – combination of the first two; continuity is maintained but at certain periods advertising is increased. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to explain the various scheduling options available to the advertiser. The optimal scheduling schedule can be affected by buying cycles. A continuity schedule can be appropriate with food products, household products and products consumed on an ongoing basis. A flighting schedule is well suited to seasonal or other products that are consumed mostly during certain time periods. A pulsing schedule may be used for products that have little sales variation from period to period, but might see some increase in certain times, such as cold beverages in the hot summer months.
  • #19 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 332-334 and Figure 10-19 of the text. Summary Overview Because advertisers have budget constraints, they are forced to make trade-offs between reach and frequency. They must decide if they want the message seen and heard by more people (reach) or by fewer people more often (frequency). This slide shows the various concepts associate with reach and frequency. Reach of One Program – total audience reached by one program Reach of Two Programs – total audience reached by two programs (including duplicated reach) Duplicated Reach of Both – duplicated reach only (those that were exposed more than once) Unduplicated Reach of Both – total reach less duplication (exposed only once) Use of this slide This slide can be used to introduce the concepts of reach and frequency and the terms duplicated reach and unduplicated reach. Both of these concepts are very important to the media planner. Unduplicated reach indicates potential new exposures, while duplicated reach provides an estimate of frequency. Most media schedules consider both reach and frequency.
  • #20 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 336-337 and Figure 10-22 of the text. Summary OverviewThis slide shows a graph of effective reach which represents the percentage of a vehicle’s audience reached at each effective frequency increment. Effective reach as shown on the shaded area of this graph is between 3 to 10 exposures (though decreasing with the number of exposures). Fewer than 3 exposures is considered inefficient reach, while more than 10 is considered overexposure and thus excessive reach. The exposure level is no guarantee of effective communication as different messages may require more or fewer exposures. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to explain the concept of effective reach and the fact that viewers may need to be exposed to a message more than once for successful communication to occur. This graph shows 3 exposures to be a minimum. However, recent literature suggests that in the current environment where consumers are exposed to thousands of daily communication messages, effective reach may now require a minimum of 12 messages. Additionally, the complexity of the message, message length, and recency of the exposure can also have an impact on effective reach.
  • #21 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 336-337 and Figure 10-23 of the text. Summary OverviewTo determine effective frequency there are numerous factors that need to be considered such as marketing factors, message and creative factors, and media factors. The marketing factors to be considered include: Brand loyalty – inverse relationship; the higher the loyalty the less frequency required Brand share – inverse relationship; the higher the share the less frequency required Usage cycle – products needing to be replaced frequently require higher frequency to maintain top-of-mind awareness Brand history – new brands require higher frequency Share of voice – when strong competition exists, higher frequency is required Purchase cycles – shorter purchasing cycles require higher frequency to maintain top-of-mind awareness Target group – the ability to learn and retain messages has an impact on frequency Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss the various marketing factors that affect the advertisers’ decisions regarding frequency levels needed to communicate effectively.
  • #22 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 336-337 and Figure 10-23 of the text. Summary OverviewTo determine effective frequency, many factors must be considered, including: Message complexity – the simpler the message the less frequency required Message uniqueness – the more unique the message the less frequency required New vs. continuing campaign – new campaigns require a higher frequency Image vs. product sell – creating an image requires a higher frequency Message variation – a single message requires less frequency Wearout – higher frequency leads to faster wearout Advertising units – larger units require less frequency Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss the various message factors that affect the advertisers’ decisions regarding frequency levels needed to communicate effectively.

Summary OverviewThis slide shows some areas where flexibility in a media strategy may be needed to avoid lost opportunities and address new threats. Market opportunities. Sometimes a market opportunity arises that the advertiser wishes to take advantage of. Market threats. Internal or external factors may pose a threat to the firm, and a change in media strategy is dictated. Availability of media. Sometimes a desired medium (or vehicle) is not available to the marketer. Changes in media or in media vehicles. A change in the medium or in a particular vehicle may require a change in the media strategy. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss the importance of a flexible media strategy. Because of the rapidly changing market environment, strategies may need to be modified.

  • #26 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on p. 340 of the text. Summary OverviewAn important decision in the development of the media strategy is estimating the relative cost of advertising in various media. The overall objective of the advertiser is to deliver the message to the target audience at the lowest rate with the least waste. This slide shows how the cost of print media is calculated. CPM refers to cost per thousand people reached and is calculated for print media such as magazines by dividing the cost of the ad space by the circulation and multiplying this amount by 1000. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss how the relative cost of print media is calculated.
  • #27 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 340-344 and Figure 10-27 of the text, which discusses the relative cost of media. Summary OverviewThe cost per thousand may overestimate or underestimate the actual cost effectiveness. Consider a situation where some waste coverage is inevitable. The circulation exceeds the target market. If the people reached by this message are not potential buyers of the product, then having to pay to reach them results in too low a cost per thousand, as shown in Scenario A. We must use the potential reach to the target market – the destination sought – rather than the overall circulation figure. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to discuss that most media buyers rely on target CPM, or TCPM, which calculates CPMs based on the target audience, not the overall audience.
  • #28 Relation to textThis slide relates to material on pp. 340-342 of the text. Summary OverviewAn important decision in the development of the media strategy is estimating the relative cost of advertising in various media. The overall objective of the advertiser is to deliver the message to the target audience at the lowest cost. This slide shows how the cost of broadcast media is calculated using CPRP (often referred to as CPP) which refers to cost per rating point. A rating point represents 1 percent of all households in a particular area who are tuned into a specific program. Use of this slideThis slide can be used to demonstrate how the relative cost of broadcast media is calculated by using the cost per rating point formula.
