1. Developing an effective advertising program requires 5 steps: defining the mission or advertising objective, determining the advertising budget, generating the advertising message, selecting appropriate media, and measuring the communication and sales effects of the advertising. 2. The mission sets specific communication goals and targets for the advertising campaign within a given time period, such as being informative, persuasive, or providing reminders. 3. The budget considers factors like the product's life cycle stage, market share, competition level, and frequency of advertising needed. It aims to build brand equity through investment rather than just as an expense.
