### Revised Text with Citations
### Institutional Advertising
Institutional advertising, also referred to as corporate advertising, is a
strategy that focuses on promoting the organization as a whole, rather than a specific product. It aims to enhance the company’s brand image, improve its reputation, and attract customers by focusing on the organization’s values, mission, and overall offerings (Belch & Belch, 2021).
#### Functions of Institutional Advertising
- **Brand Promotion**: This strategy increases overall brand recognition and
creates positive associations with the organization’s offerings. It highlights the organization’s status within the industry and showcases the range of products and services it offers (Keller, 2013).
- **Image Promotion**: Institutional advertising establishes a specific image
—whether symbolic or direct—that resonates with the attitudes, emotions, or lifestyles of consumers. This helps to build trust and loyalty across the organization’s entire product line, rather than focusing on individual products (Belch & Belch, 2021).
- **Core Message**: The core message in institutional advertising is often
tailored to address consumer desires or needs. It emphasizes how the company’s products or services fulfill these needs while aligning the message with the brand’s values (Kotler & Armstrong, 2020).
#### Advantages of Institutional Advertising
- **Increases Customer Loyalty**: By aligning the organization’s core values
with consumer interests, institutional advertising fosters loyalty, especially when customers can expect consistent quality from the brand (Belch & Belch, 2021).
- **Boosts Brand Recognition**: A recognizable brand image or logo
increases customer awareness and sales as customers begin to associate the brand with positive attributes (Keller, 2013). - **Encourages Consumer Referrals**: Loyal customers become advocates for the brand, recommending its offerings to friends and family through word-of-mouth marketing (Shimp & Andrews, 2017).
### Product Advertising
Product advertising, on the other hand, is more focused on promoting a
specific product rather than the organization as a whole. The primary goal is to highlight the product’s unique features, benefits, and uses to target potential buyers (Kotler & Armstrong, 2020).
#### Functions of Product Advertising
- **Competitive Advertising**: This strategy is used when launching a
product in a competitive market. Companies highlight features that differentiate their product from the competition, using language that positions their offering as more valuable or beneficial (Kotler & Armstrong, 2020).
- **Comparative Advertising**: In comparative advertising, companies
directly compare their product with a competitor’s product. This method aims to demonstrate superior performance, features, or pricing (Shimp & Andrews, 2017).
- **Pioneering Advertising**: When entering a new market with no direct
competitors, pioneering advertising focuses on demonstrating how the product solves a specific problem (Belch & Belch, 2021).
#### Advantages of Product Advertising
- **Increases Demand**: By using competitive or comparative advertising
techniques, companies emphasize what makes their product the best, thus increasing consumer interest (Kotler & Armstrong, 2020).
- **Demonstrates Use Cases**: Product advertising allows businesses to
showcase the various uses of a product, clearing up any misconceptions and demonstrating the product’s value (Shimp & Andrews, 2017). - **Targets Specific Audiences**: Through market research, companies can tailor their advertising strategies to address the needs and preferences of specific target audiences (Keller, 2013).
