Overview • Advertising Media Today • The Internet Today AT ~ Click to return to this Advertising Today slide Advertising Today – Overview • Today, advertising is everywhere – – – – – – – Magazines you read Newspapers you read Radio stations you listen to Television channels you watch Sporting events you attend Signs you see Internet sites you surf • It’s impossible to avoid • Companies spend a large percentage of their income on advertising – This can amount to millions or billions of dollars – Ex.: Procter & Gamble • Tide laundry detergent • Crest toothpaste • Spends $3 billion a year on advertising AT Advertising Media Today • The traditional forms of media used to deliver advertising have matured – Directed at a passive audience – You read, listen, or watch passively – It is rare to produce an advertisement that is truly new or innovative – The various media have reached their limitations – Print ads are limited by what can be placed on paper – Radio ads are limited to sounds they can produce – Television ads are limited to sights and sounds • Advertising may be able to overcome these limitations in the future. AT The Internet Today • The Internet was originally created to support the exchange of information between scientists and researchers • Today it informs, educates, entertains, communicates, and advertises • Buying & selling on the Internet is clearly established and growing rapidly • Most large companies are devoting part of their advertising budgets to Internet advertising – Internet advertising is still evolving – 1998 – Internet advertising revenue was $1.92 billion – 1999 – Internet advertising revenue was $4.62 billion AT Advertising Tomorrow • The future of Advertising is difficult to predict • In the 1800s, people would never have been able to predict that in the 2000s we would sit around watching a box for entertainment • The Purpose of Advertising • The Internet Tomorrow • Interactive Media • Future Technologies AT ~ Click to return to this Advertising Tomorrow slide The Purpose of Advertising • Regardless of what predictions may come in the future, remember – – – – Advertising’s definition won’t change Advertising must still be paid for Advertising’s role in business won’t change Advertising will continue to be a marketing tool that contributes to a company’s revenue and profits • Most changes in advertising will be in the methods used to prepare and deliver the message AT The Internet Tomorrow • The huge revenues earned in the late 1990s proves that the Internet is huge force that will continue to be an important part in advertising • The Internet will continue to level the playing field between large and small companies • Web sites allow consumers to view our products from the comfort of their family room sofa • The methods utilized to deliver advertising on the Internet will change as the Internet evolves – The scientists and researchers that developed the Internet didn’t envision how it would be utilized today – In the same vein, we cannot look into a crystal ball to envision the Internet of tomorrow – Commerce and advertising will certainly be a part of the Internet of Tomorrow AT Interactive Media • The main difference between traditional advertising and Internet advertising is the possibility for an exchange – Between Consumer and Advertiser – This exchange is interactive • Communication goes both ways • The consumer can provide input • Advertising no longer has to be a passive experience for the consumer • This provides opportunities for advertisers • Today’s Internet advertising doesn’t take advantage of this feature – Perhaps it will in the future AT Future Technologies • The Future of advertising might include the opportunity to target and reach every consumer that might purchase their products • Today’s advertising drawing board might hold a whole new direction ~ and change everything in ways that we can’t even imagine • The potential for the future is unlimited AT Types of Advertising • There are several different types of advertisements, which are meant to influence consumer buying decisions. • Most ads combine information with entertainment, hoping to keep your attention long enough to hear the messages, and remember it when you go shopping • There are 5 main types of advertising that we will take a look at here: – – – – – – Brand Advertising Informative Advertising Comparative Advertising Defensive Advertising Persuasive Advertising Top Slogan Choices ~ Quiz ToA ~ Click to return to this Types of Advertising slide Brand Advertising • Is intended to make you remember a brand rather than a specific product • Is especially useful for companies that make several products, or a family of similar products • Has affected your buying decision if you have ever tried a new variety or flavor just because an earlier product from the same brand label ToA Informative Advertising • Teaches you about the product’s benefits • Helpful for product benefits a consumer doesn’t understand • Other products or product features become important selling features after consumers are educated about the benefits • Can be very helpful – Ex.: in 1999 consumers were informed that taking aspirin could help during the early stages of a heart attack – The main purpose was to sell the product ToA Comparative Advertising • Is the method of comparing benefits and qualities of two or more similar products • Emphasizes the strengths of the advertised product, and the weaknesses of other products • If the qualities that are emphasized are important to you, they will influence your decision • The product always wins with this type of advertising ToA Defensive Advertising • This might be the response of the “losing” product in a Comparative Advertisement • The “losing” company wants to inform consumers that the weaknesses sited were exaggerated—or that, in fact, their product is better than the “winners” in some way • These are very similar to Comparative Ads • Are usually the response to the original comparison made by the competitor • Can influence consumer buying decisions if the features are product qualities that are important to the consumer ToA Persuasive Advertising • Persuasive Ads don’t: – Provide information – Emphasize product features – Make comparisons • Persuasive Ads do: – Show happy people using the product • The implication with Persuasive Ads is that if you use the product, you will be – – – – Happier More glamorous More athletic And so on …. ToA Persuasive Advertising • These ads influence your decisions because you want to be more like the person using the product in the ad • Since this type of ad doesn’t provide any information, they rely on emotional appeal ToA TopAdvertising Slogans of the 20thQuiz Century Slogan Study the terms on the left and match each to the correct product/company on the right.
