expected to keep prices per liter under check.
However, 100% Juice is forecast to experience price per liter increases as the pitch on the health
platform is expected to enable manufactures to keep their products relatively price-intensive.
With increases expected in tourism, distribution and a changing lifestyle, bottled water is the one
to watch in the forecast period, with an expected CAGR OF 15% in off-trade volume sales
growth. Our local strategy enables us to listen to all the voices around the world asking for
beverages that span the entire spectrum of tastes and occasions.

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

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)

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".

Today, Internet is a big spot for
advertising.

So these are the media of the advertising campaign of the selecting of the media.
6.

Creating the Advertising Messages :

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.
