Advertising is more than just the means of disseminating
product information. It is a primary communications tool of our
economic system. Moreover, aside from its diverse role as a
persuasive communication tool, it is also part of the everyday
culture of virtually everyone. Actually advertising is a part
of our social, cultural, and business environment.
The specific reasons that a company chooses to advertise at a
particular level is often difficult to determine. However,
there are a number of situations that usually dictate a higher
proportion of advertising to sales than might otherwise be
used. First, it introduces a new product of service; to enter
the marketplace against established competition, extra weight
is needed. Second, to encounter competition; some industries
are engaged in price wars and have far more competition than
others, especially when nobody is a real leader in the field.
Third, to maintain a leadership position; companies decide to
spend in advertising investing in promoting their brand names.
Fourth, to emphasize price; among all competitive pressures,
price is probably the most usually used feature that gets
heavily promoted. Finally, to keep up with a fast growing
industry; in fierce competitive fields it is vital to spend
more on advertising to prevent others from surpassing your
offer.
Advertising primary strength is that it reaches a large mass
audience to intensify broad-based demand for a product. As
specialists support, advertising can build brand awareness,
create long-term brand images and positions, and increase brand
knowledge effectively. It can furthermore, alter the image of an
existing product and act as a reminder mechanism. Finally,
advertising acts also as a memorability mechanism through
message repetition.
Regarding new product launch, advertising is considered of
vital importance as it can provide the necessary information to
the targeted audiences and increase their awareness levels. It
moreover can act as an Awareness-Identific
tool since it can provide all the incentives needed for a
trial. As far as the action stage is concerned, advertising can
become the element through which a prospect will decide upon
purchasing the product or service. Coupons, free samples,
discounts, and many other promotional mechanisms can become the
reason behind a new product's success. Penetrating any market is
a matter of well-planned integrated marketing program and in
order for a new product's or service launch to be successful,
advertising can serve as a valuable tool for the company's
future goals and current sales increase.
Advertising has limits, however. Consumers often tend to
believe it is intrusive, and try to avoid it by changing the
TV-channel, radio station or page. Because of the abundant of
products and services in today's world, clutter issues can
threaten advertising, as the more advertisements exist, the
more frustrated the consumer becomes. Another major drawback of
advertising is that of lost impressions. Due to its high
penetration, the mass market is not always the right target to
which the messages are directed.
Regarding new product launch, advertising is valuable only to
companies if it creates consumer identification, is
differentiated from clutter, and in the long run its success is
measured by repeat purchase. If a product or service stays
viable for a longer period than its competition, it is due to
its penetration to customer minds and homes.
Concluding, advertising should be used in the marketing
communication mix to maximize its strengths, which should be
analyzed relatively to other marketing communication tools.
