contribution  advertising should make to the achievement of overall company
objectives. Most companies regard advertisingly main objective as hat of proving
support to personal selling and other forms of promotion. But advertising is a highly
versatile communications tools and may therefore by used for achieving various short
and long term objectives. Among these objectives are the following :

1.      To do the entire selling job (as in mail order marketing).

2.      To introduce a new product (by building brand awareness among potential
buyers).

3.      To force middlemen to handle the product (pull strategy).

4.      To build brand preference 9by making it more difficult for middleman to sell
substitutes).

9.       To improve the moral of dealers and/or sales people (by showing that the
company is doing its share of promotion).

10.      To acquaint buyers and prospects with the new uses of the product (to extend
the PLC).

BENEFITS

          The functions of advertisement, and that purpose its ethics, may be discussion
below :

1.       It leads to cheaper prices. "No advertiser could live in the highly competitive
arena of modern business if his methods of selling were more costly than those
of his rivals."

2.       It acquaints the public with the features of the goods and advantages which
buyers will enjoy.

3.       It increases demand for commodities and this results in increased production.
Advertising :

a)      Creates and stimulates demand opens and expands the markets;

b)      Creates goodwill which loads to an increase in sales volume;

c)      Reduces marketing costs, particularly product selling costs.

d)      Satisfied consumer demands by placing in the market what he needs.

4.      It reduces distribution expenses in as much as it plays the part of thousands of

salesman at a home. Information on a mass scale relieves the necessity of
 expenditure on sales promotion staff, and quicker and wider distribution leads
to diminishing of the distribution costs.

5.       It ensures the consumers better quality of goods. A good name is the breath of
the life to an advertiser.

6.       By paying the way for large scale production and increased industrialization,
advertising  contributes its quota to the profit of the companies the prosperity of
the shareholder the uplifts of the wage earners and the solution of he
unemployment problem. 

7.        It raises the standard of living of the general public by impelling it to use to
articles of modern types which may add to his material well being. "Modern
advertising has made the luxuries of yesterday the necessities of
today ..................... It is a positive creative force in business. It makes two
blades of grass grow in the business world where one grew before.

8.        It establishes the goodwill of the concern for the test articles produced by it and
in course of time they sell like not cakes consumer search for satisfaction of
their needs when they purchase goods what they want from its beauty,
superiority, economy, comfort, approval, popularity, power, safety,
convenience, sexual gratification and so on. The manufactures therefore tries to
improve this goodwill and reputation by knowing the buyer behaviour.

To sum up it may be said that advertising aims at committing the producers,

educating the consumer, supplementing the salesman converting the producer
and the dealer to eliminate the competitor, but above all it is a link between the
produce and the consumer. 

 WHY & WHEN TO ADVERTISE

          Advertising as a tool to marketing not only reaches those who buy , but also
those whose opinions or authority is counted for example a manufacturer of marble
tiles and building boards advertises not only to people who intend to build houses but
also to architect and engineers. While the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals products
advertise to doctors as well as to the general public. At time it is necessary for a
manufacturer or a concern to advertise things which it does not sell but which when
sold stimulates the sales of its own product. There are concerns like electric heaters,
iron etc. because the use of these increases the demand for their products.

          Advertising should be used only when it promises to bring good result more
economically and efficiently as compared to other means of selling. There are goods
for which much time and efforts are required in creating a demand by sending
salesman to prospective buyers than by simply advertising them. In the early days of
the cash register in America it was sold by specially trained salesman who called on
the prospective users and had the difficult task of convincing them that they could no
longer carry on with the old methods, and that they urgently needed a cash register. In
our country certain publishers have found it less costly to sell their books by sending
salesman from house to house among prospective buyers than to advertise them. In
these two examples the cost of creating demand would be too high if attempted by
advertising alone under such circumstances advertising is used to make the salesman
acceptable to the people they call upon to increase the confidence of the public in the
house. Naturals when there are good profits competitors will be attracted and they
should be kicked out as and when sufficient capital is available by advertising on a
large scale. Immediate result may not justify the increased expenditure but it will no
doubt secure future sales.

DESIGNING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN :

          An advertising is an organized series of advertising messages. It has been
defined as "a planned, co-ordinate series of promotional efforts built around a central
theme and designed to reach a specified goals." In other words, it is an orderly
planned effort consisting of related but self – contained and independent
advertisements. The campaign may appear in one more media . it has single theme or
keynote idea and a single objective or goal. Thus, "a unified theme of content
provides psychological continuity throughout the campaign while visual and oral
similarity provide physical continuity. In short run, all campaign want pre-determined
psychological reaction in the long run, practically all campaigns have sales goal.

The series of advertisements used in the campaign must be integrated with the sales
promotional efforts and with the activities of the sales force.

Campaign vary in length some may run only for a few days, other for weeks, yet other
for a season or the entire year. Usually a range of 3 to 6 months includes many
campaigns. Many factors influences campaign length such as competitors advertising
media, policies, seasonal falls curves of the product involved, the size of the
advertising funds, campaign objectives and the nature of the advertisers marketing
programme.

OBJECTIVES OF CAMPAIGN

          The advertising campaign, especially those connected with the consumers aims
at achieving these objectives :

i)        To announce a new product or improve product.

ii)       To hold consumers patronage against intensified campaign use.

iii)      To inform consumers about a new product use.

 iv)      To teach consumers how to use product.

v)       To promote a contest or a premium offer.

vi)      To establish a new trade regional, and

vii)     To help solve a coca regional problem.

The institutional advertising campaign on the other hand, have these objectives.

i)        To create a corporate personality or image.

ii)       To build a company prestige.

iii)      To keep the company name before the public.

iv)      To emphasize company services and facilities.

v)       To enable company salesman to see top executive consistently when

making sales calls, and

vi)      To increase friendliness and goodwill towards the company.

Developing the campaign programmes. The advertising campaigns are

prepared by the advertising agencies, which work an behalf of their clients who
manufacture product or service enterprises, which have services to sell. The word
campaign is used because advertising agencies approach their task with a sum Blanca
of military fanfare in which one frequently hears words like target audience logistics,
zero in and tactics and strategy etc.

The account executive co-ordinates the work in a campaign. The creation of an

advertising campaign starts with an exploration of consumers habits and psychology
in relation to the product. This requires the services of statistical trained in survey
techniques and of others trained in social psychology. Statisticians select samples for
survey which are done by trained interviewers who visits individuals, included in the
sample and ask question to find out about their taste and habits.

This enquiry often leads to a change in a familiar product. For instance bathing
soap may come in several new colours or cigarette in a new packet or talcum powder
in another size.

Such interviews are often quite essential to find out the appeal of advertising
message for a product that would be most effective with consumers.

David Ogilvy describes a consumers survey to find out the most meaningful
benefit in which women are interested when they buy a face cream. The largest
preference as given to "Cleans deep into pores" followed in order of importance by
prevent dryness, "is a complete beauty treatment, recommended by skin doctors"
makes skin look younger' contains estrogenic hormones, pasteurized for purity,
prevent skin form aging, smooth our wrinkles ogilvy concludes, form this voting
come one of Helena Rubinstein's most successful face creams. We christened it deep
cleanser, thus, building the winning form into name of the product. 

After getting the data the account executive puts together the essential elements
of his clients brief, interprets the research findings and draws up what he calls the
"advertising strategy".

STAGE IN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

          Several steps are required to developed an advertising campaign the number of
stages and exact order in which they are carried out may vary according to an
organisations resources, the nature of its product and the types of audiences to be
reached. The major stages/step are :

1.       Identifying and analyzing the advertising.

2.       Defining advertising objects.

3.       Creating the advertising platform.

4.       Determining the advertising appropriation.

5.       Selection media plan.

6.       Creating the advertising message.

7.       Evaluating the effectiveness of advertising.

8.       Organizing of advertising campaign.

1.      Identifying & Analyzing the Advertising target :

          Under this step it is to decided as to whom is the firm trying to reach with  the
message. The advertising target is the group of people towards which advertisements
are aimed at four this purpose complete information about the market target i.e. the
location and geographical location of the people, the distribution of age, income, sex,
educational level, and consumers attitudes regarding purchase and use both of the
advertising product and competing products is needed with better knowledge of
market target, effective advertising campaign can be developed on the other hand, if
the advertising target is not properly identified and analyzed the campaign is does
likely to be effective.

2.      Determining the advertising objectives :

          The objectives of advertisement must be specifically and clearly defined in
measurable terms such as "to communicate specific qualities about a particulars
product to gain a certain degree of penetration in a definite audience of a given size
during a given period of time", increase sales by a certain percentage or increase the
firms market shares."

          The goals of advertising may be to :

i)        Create a favourable company image by acquainting the public with the
services offered available to the employees and its achievements.

ii)       Create consumers or distributor awareness by encouraging requests

providing information about the types of products sold; providing
information about the benefits to be gained from use of the company's
products or services; and indicating how product (or services) can be
used;

iii)      Encourage immediate sales by encouraging potential purchasers through

special sales contests, getting recommendation of professional people
about company's products etc.

iv)       It secures action by the reader through associating ideas, repetition of

the same name in different contexts, immediate action appeal.

3.      Creating the Advertising platform :

          An advertising platform consists of the basic issues or selling points that an
advertiser wishes to include in the advertising campaign. A single advertisement in an
advertising campaign may contain one or more issues in the platform. A motorcycle
producers advertising platform should contain issues which are of importance to
consumers filling and such issues also be those which the competitive product do not
posses.

4.                Determining the Advertising Appropriation:

The advertising appropriation is the total amount of money which  marketer

allocates. For advertising for a specific time period. Determining the campaign budget
involves estimating now much it will cost to achieve the campaigns objectives. If the
campaign objectives are profit relating and stated quantitatively, then the amount of
the campaign budget is determined by estimating the proposed campaigns
effectiveness in attaining them. If campaigns object is to build a particular type of
company image, then there is little basis for predicting either the campaigns
effectiveness or determining the budget required.

5.      Selecting the Media :

          Media selection is an important since it costs time space and money various
factors influence this selection, the most fundamental being the nature of the target
market segment, the type of the product and the cost involved. The distinctive
characteristics of various media are also important. Therefore management should
focus its attention on media compatibility with advertising objectives.

          This is an important stage of advertising campaign. The contents of the message
has to be very carefully drafted in the advertisement. Characteristics of person in the
advertising target influence the message content and form. An advertisers must use
words, symbols and illustration that are meaningful, familiar and attractive to those
persons. The type of media also influence the content and form of the message.

7.      Evaluating the Effectiveness of Advertising :

          The effectiveness of advertising is measured for a variety of reasons :

a)       To determine whether a campaign  accomplished its advertising objects.

b)     To evaluate the relative effectiveness of several advertisements to

ascertain which copy, illustrations or layout is  best.

c)       To determine the strengths and weaknesses of various media and media
plans.

In other words, measuring advertising effectiveness is needed to determine

whether proposed advertisement should be used and if they will be now they might be
improved; and whether going campaign should be stopped, continued or changed. In
accomplishing these purposes, pretests and post test are conducted. The former tests
before exposing target consumers to advertisements and the letter after consumers
have been exposed to advertisements and the letter after consumers have been
exposed to advertisements.

For an effective advertising programme, the advertising manager requires a

basic understanding of the medium that is going to carry it.
 For effectively using advertising the management must test advertising to know
which of the advertisement to know which of the advertisement have proved profitable
and why as compared to others.
