3. Several Factors influence the relationship between expenditure
on promotions and sales including:
4. Assumpions
The goal of the promotion
Hierarchy of effects approach- Awareness, knowledge, linking, preferences,
conviction , actual purchase
Threshold effect -early effect of ad are minimal
Carryover effect -pdts purchased when needed
Wear out effect – at a certain pt a pdt simply becomes old
/boaring. Creating promotion to add excitement are, at that pt. ,
difficult. The company must spend a great deal of time trying to
rejuvenate the brand in some way.
Decay effect- when company stops adverting, consumers begin
to forgot about company.

5. Setting the Total
Promotion Budget
The marketer must decide how much to
spend on promotion. According to the type of
industry, the promotion spendings vary. E.g.
20-30%of the sales in cosmetics, 2-3%in
industrial machinery.
There are basically four methods to set the
total budget for advertising;
affordable method
percentage-of-sales method
competitive-parity method
objective-and-task method
6. Affordable Method
Setting the promotion budget at the level that
management thinks the company can afford.
Small companies project their total revenues,
deduct their operating expenses and capital
outlays, and then devote some of the
remaining funds to advertising.
This method places advertising last among
expenses, therefore, ignores the effects of
promotion on sales.
This method may result in either over or
under spending for advertising.
7. Percentage-of-Sales Method
Setting the promotion budget at a certain
percentage of current or forecasted sales or
as a percentage of the sales price.
The advantage of this method is that it helps
management think about the relationships
between promotion spending, selling price,
and profit per unit.
8. Percentage-of-Sales Method
The disadvantages are;
(1)it wrongly views sales as the cause of
promotion rather than as the result,
(2) it may prevent increase in promotional
spending, when the sales are falling,
(3) it does not provide any basis for choosing a
specific percentage, except last year’s and
competitors percentages.
9. Competitive-Parity Method
Setting the promotion budget to match competitor’s
outlays. The company monitors competitor’s
advertising or industry averages.
The disadvantages of this method are; (1) each
company has its own promotional needs, therefore,
the competitors’ spending may be misleading, (2)
there is no guarantee that this method will prevent
promotion wars.
The concept to remember is that it is not how much
is spent , but rather how well the money is allocated
and how effectively the marketing compaign works at
retaining customers and mkt share.
10. Objective-and-Task Method
Setting promotion budgets based on what the
company wants to accomplish with promotion.
This is the most logical budget setting where the
company (1) defines specific promotion objectives,
(2) determines the tasks needed to achieve these
objectives, (3) estimates the total costs of performing
these tasks.
The budget will be cumulative sum of the estimated
cost for all objectives.
11. Objective-and-Task Method
This is the most difficult method to use
because it is hard to understand which tasks
will achieve specific objectives. E.g. if Sony
wants to create 95% awareness for its new
camera within 6 months, it is difficult to
decide what messages and promotions to
use and how much to spend.
17. Advertising Agencies
Provides services of highly skilled individuals
Can provide an objective viewpoint of the mkt and its business.
“Advertising agency is an independent business, composed of
creative and business people who develop, prepare & place
advertising in advertising media for sellers seeking to find
customers for their goods or services.”
Volney B. Palmer (1840) is the first known person who worked
on a commission basis to sell space in newspapers.
In 1917, newspaper publisher set 15 % as standard agency
commision
During the 1980s, there was a wave of acquisition & merger of
ad agencies and support org. to form super-agencies.

51. Humor in advertising
A lot of people simply don't have a sense of humor.
You lose them immediately, and the potential size of
your market shrinks.
It is commonly misinterpreted. Many people will not
get the joke.
And humor often insults someone. They may simply
get angry because they don't get the joke. This is fire
we are playing with. Your market size just shrunk
again.
52. Advertising is about getting attention. The
best ways to get attention with advertising are
with strong visuals, powerful headlines, and
humor.
First, people like funny things It puts them in
a good mood, and it creates a more
comfortable atmosphere and a more positive
image for your company
53. Advertising humor works best with
established and commonly purchased
products.
But corporate image and industrial
advertising are serious business. Unknown,
risky, expensive, or sensitive products are not
normally suited to the lighter touch of
advertising humor.
Advertising humor also needs to be well
suited to its audience. If your customers don’t
get the joke, then the joke will be on you.
54. Advertising humor also needs to be product specific.
We have all seen funny ads we liked so much that we
forgot what was being sold.
And advertising humor has a relatively short life. The
first time we see it we may laugh out loud. But after a
while, although we still may smile at the joke, it’s not
so funny any more. Funny ads need to be replaced
periodically
Will advertising humor work in your ads? Absolutely –
if you can make it appropriate to your products and
customers, if they understand it, if it is related to your
business or message, and if you change your ads
frequently enough so that they don’t wear out.

65. Account Brief (Short note)
The is a document that outlines the
information and objectives to inspire the
creative idea. Creative briefs may take
different forms and include a variety of
elements, including describing what the
advertising is trying to achieve, identifying the
main idea to be communicated, and outlining
the target audience for that idea.
66. Proposing the Big Idea requires client agreement that
the idea is right. Thus, both the advertising agency
and the client must agree upon the final brief. The
best briefs are written by account planners
collaboratively with input from the client, account
team, and creative director. One of the key functions
of the SS+K brief is to come up with a single
essential thought that summarizes the idea that will
convince consumers to do what it is that the
communication aims to do. Every agency has a
proprietary brief template it uses to spell out the types
of content it will need to include, such as specifying
the audience, the product features, media placement
ideas, and key point.

84. Methods for Pre-testing:
Print Advertising
Direct Questioning:
The researcher using this method asks respondents specific
questions about the ads such as What does the ad say to you?
Does the ad tell you something new and different about the
product, service or the company?
Do you believe what this ad says to you?
What is your perception of the product or service this ad tells you
about?
Do you like the advertisement ?
85. Focus group:
A group of 8 to 10 people who are potential users of the
product or service, participate in a moderated but
freewheeling discussion and interview.
Lasts for about one hour and supervised by a trained
moderator who provides direction and control.
86. Portfolio test:
One group of respondents is exposed to a portfolio of
test ads interspersed with other ads. Another group sees
the portfolio without the test ads Paired comparison test:
Respondents compare each ad in a group
Order of merit test:
Respondents see two or more alternative ads and
arrange them in rank order
87. Mock Magazine tests:
Ads to be tested are “stripped into” into a magazine
which is left with respondents for a specified time.
Direct Mail Test:
Two or more ads are mailed to different potential
customers on a mailing list to test which ad attracts more
orders.
89. Pre-testing for television and radio:
Central Location test:
Respondents see TV test commercials in a central
location such as shopping centre
Clutter tests:
Test commercials along with non competing
commercials are shown to respondents
Trailer Tests:
respondents see to commercials at trailers at shopping
centers and receive coupons for the advertised products
90. Live telecast Tests:
Test commercials are shown on closed circuit
or cable TV and subsequently respondents are
interviewed by telephone.
92. Post –testing methods:
Recall Unaided Recall:
respondents are asked without prompt whether
they read saw or heard ad messages
Aided recall:
Respondents are shown certain ads with the
name of the sponsor or brand concealed and then asked
if their previous exposure was through reading, viewing
or listening
93. Recognition:
refers to whether a respondent cam recognize an
advertisement as having seen before. Such tests are
conducted by mail survey in which questionnaires are
mailed to 1000 households picked from a mailing list or
telephone book. Provides mechanism for breaking a
print ad into important elements such as headline,
visual, copy and how these are remembered by by a
sample of respondents.
94. Inquiry:
refers to checking the effectiveness of ads appearing in
various print media on the basis of which consumers
respond by requesting for more information. The inquiry
may depend on phone calls from interested persons,
coupons returned or requests for free samples
Researchers can test advertisements’ attention getting
value, readability, comprehension
95. Day- after- recall –
most popular method of post-testing in broadcast
media. Measure of effectiveness is always the number of people
who can recall the ad. Respondents may be asked simple
question as “While watching programme A last knight, did you see
a commercial for (brand name) ?”
