Market Analysis

To whom shall we advertise?

Index = Percentage of users in a demographic segment x 100

Percentage of population in the same segment

Age Population in Product Use

Segment Segment (%) in Segment (%) Index

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18-24 15.1 18.0 119

25-34 25.1 25.0 100

35-44 20.6 21.0 102

45+ 39.3 36.0 91

Questions:

1) What does an index of 100, >100, and <100 mean?

2) Will “population in a segment” sum to 100%? Why or why not?

3) Will “product users in a segment” sum to 100%? Why or why not?

Market Analysis (cont.)

What internal and external factors are influencing?

Internal Factors

External Factors

Market Analysis (cont.)

• Where to promote (geographically)?

1) Buying Power Index (or Living Expense Index)

2) The Brand Development Index (BDI)

BDI = Percentage of brand to total U.S. sales in the market x 100

Percentage of total U.S. population in the market

3) The Category Development Index (CDI)

CDI = Percentage of product category total sales in the market x 100

Percentage of total U.S. population in the market

Questions:

1) What does BDI and CDI mean?

2) What do combinations of BDI and CDI tell us? (e.g., Pepsi & Coke)

Establishing Media Objectives

Media objectives are the goals for the media program and should be limited to those that can accomplished through media strategies.

Such objectives are often expressed in terms of

coverage, reach, frequency, scheduling, etc.

Developing & Implementing Media Strategy

• Developing a Media Mix

• Determining Target Market Coverage (exceedingly, fully, partially)

• Determining Geographic Coverage (different areas might receive different form and degree of media emphasis)

• Scheduling (continuity, flighting, pulsing)

• Reach versus Frequency (trade-off b/t them)

• Creative Aspects and Mood (selecting appropriate media to match the Ads)

• Flexibility

• Budget Considerations

Reach versus Frequency

1) Determine what levels of reach and frequency are needed

2) Establishing reach and frequency objectives (un/duplicated)

3) Gross Rating Points (GRPs) and Target ratings points (TRPs)

GRP = Reach (%) x Frequency

Reach versus Frequency (cont.)

4) Determining effective reach

• Effective reach

• Average frequency

Ex : 50% of audience is reached 1 time; 30% is reached 5 times; 20% is reached 10 times. Thus the average frequency is 4.0.

Budget Considerations

Absolute cost of media

Relative cost of media

1) Cost per thousand (CPM) for magazine industry

CPM = Cost of ad space (absolute cost) x 1,000

Circulation

2) Cost per ratings point (CPRP) for broadcast media

CPRP = Cost of commercial time

Program rating

3) Daily inch rate for newspaper

Cost per column inch of the paper

Evaluation and Follow-up

To determine the media program’s effectiveness, two questions need to be answered:

1) How well did these strategies achieve the media objectives?

2) How well did this media plan contribute to attaining the overall marketing and communications objectives?
