Cost effective
10. Flash mob
A flash mob is a group of people who assemble
suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and
sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time,
then disperse, often for the purposes of
entertainment or advertising
Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications,
social media, or viral emails.
Coca-Cola conducted a flash mob in Dandy Mall
which brought everything home
11. Advertising Wears Out
-One of the challenges facing marketers is determining
the most effective level of advertising exposure for a
brand, while maintaining a given budget.
-Conceptually, the media planner could choose
continuous advertising or follow a strategy of pulsing .
-The decision is important because the wrong one will
considerably affect customer response.
12. Advertising Wears Out
-When advertisements are run at a low frequency (very
few times), they run a risk of going unnoticed. The
first time customers view an advertisement, a
majority of the time, the message doesn't even
process in their minds.
-On the other hand, when an advertisement is run at a
high frequency, advertising wear-out may occur.
Therefore, the task at hand is finding just the right
frequency for a positive response.
13. Wear-Out
Occurs when successive exposures no longer have
positive impact on audience
2 explanations:
(a) Complete information already absorbed
(b) Irritating
Ways to combat wear-out:
(a) Provide reward to audience e.g., entertainment
(b) Space exposures over time
(c) Run multiple executions of same campaign theme

22. MENA Cristal Festival
The MENA Cristal Festival has been created in 2005 with the aim of
introducing a new competition for advertising in all the North African and
Middle Eastern countries.
This event has been created as the First Advertising Festival for the
Arabic Countries and it gathers all the communications actors: advertising
agencies, advertisers, producers, directors, media, survey companies, TV
producers… in a series of interesting and convivial exchanges.
The ambition of the Festival is to associate creativity and business, and to
promote Arabic advertising creativity.
26. Advertising storyboard
Storyboarding is a planning convention used in
television, film, cartoons and even advertising.
It is the part of the pre-production process in which
artists draw comic book-like representations of what
the advertisement will look like -- a series of panels
that represent the planned shots that will eventually
be filmed.
27. Advertising storyboard
A storyboard is rough representation of a finished rich
media advertisement, “frame” by “frame” (or
screenshot by screenshot).
This will usually be presented to a client for approval
before work is started.
A storyboard generally includes graphics (rough
sketches or representations of objects, rather than
the finished product), text, fonts, links, calls to action
etc.
Storyboarding is used extensively in video
production, TV commercial production and website
production, as well as in interactive advertising
30. PPM
Pre-Production Meeting
-The agency producer runs the PPM, which will include
representatives from the brand team, agency creative and account
teams, the director or photographer and his/her producer, and
depending on the project, specialists such as the stylist, set
designer, or home economist.
-The agency producer will have an agenda that covers everything
from the objectives of the advertising to the director’s vision and
shooting board, casting, wardrobe, hair and make-up, set/locations,
props, product/packages, editorial versions, schedules, and more.
-Ideally, the PPM will be held at least two days before the start of the
shoot – that buffer time allows the production team to handle any
changes coming out of the PPM discussion.
31. Production
There are 3 stages of production:
Preproduction
All work before actual shooting/recording
Production
Period of filming, taping, or recording
Postproduction
Work after commercial is filmed or recorded
43. Mechanism / message of logo
1-Symbolic :
-representing the activity , name of the organization
e.g. Shell - Hyundai
2-Expressive:
-Creating impression relevant to the organization
e.g. Nike
3-Recognizable
-Creating identification e.g. Vodafone
53. Successful Communication
Successful communication is accomplished when the
marketer selects an appropriate source, develops an
effective message or appeal that is encoded properly,
and then selects the channels or media that will reach
the target audience.
Marketers are very interested in feedback, that part of
the receiver’s response that is communicated back to
the sender. Feedback, which may take a variety of
forms, closes the loop in the communications flow and
lets the sender monitor how the intended message is
being decoded and received
55. Promotional puffery
Puffery as a legal term refers to promotional
statements and claims that express subjective
rather than objective views, which no
"reasonable person" would take literally.
Puffery serves to "puff up" an exaggerated
image of what is being described and is
especially featured in testimonials
56. Bait-and-Switch Advertising
First, customers are "baited" by advertising for
a product or service at a low price; second, the
customers discover that the advertised good is
not available and are "switched" to a costlier
product.
57. Harmful products
The moral issue is seen as whether advertisers
have the right to encourage the purchase of a
product that might be harmful to certain individuals
The sale of tobacco and in general and,
especially, to young people
58. Advertising to children
Sweden and Canada prohibit any advertising
aimed at children;
France and Japan limit the use of cartoon
characters in advertising to children; and the
major networks have strict guidelines for
children’s ads.
In the United States the Federal Trade
Commission has taken a much less aggressive
stance on this subject.
59. R.J. Reynolds has been accused
by critics of using its “Joe Camel”
cartoon character, as shown in
this 1988 ad, to target children for
cigarette consumption.
How has society acted to protect
children from advertising such as
this? What obligations do
companies have to protect
children?
Advertising to children
65. Shockvertising
Shockvertising is a type of advertising generally
regarded as one that deliberately, rather than
unintentionally startles and offends its audience by
violating norms for social values and personal
ideals...
Shockvertising is designed principally to break
through the advertising “clutter” to capture attention
and create buzz around a given brand/product or
cause. Quite honestly, Dice Underwear did not fall
short in delivering on any of the above.
66. Shock ads as viral marketing
One goal of “shockvertising” is to grab attention and
increase awareness
An effective shock ad will generate its own publicity by
generating “buzz”

76. Marketing vs. Communications
Objectives
Marketing
Objectives
• Generally stated in the
firm’s marketing plan
• Achieved through the
overall marketing plan
• Quantifiable, such as
sales, market share, ROI
• To be accomplished in a
given period of time
• Must be realistic and
attainable to be effective
Communications
Objectives
• Derived from the overall
marketing plan
• More narrow than
marketing objectives
• Based on particular
communications tasks
• Designed to deliver
appropriate messages
• Focused on a specific
target audience
Vs.
79. Credibility – the extent to which the recipient sees the source as having
relevant knowledge skill or experience and trusts the source to give
unbiased, objective information.
• Internalization – the process by which a receiver adopts the position
advocated by the source because it is perceived as accurate and makes it
part of his or her belief system
Attractiveness – refers to the similarity, familiarity, and/or likeability of
the source
• Identification – the process by which an individual is motivated to seek some
type of relationship with the source and thus adopts similar beliefs, attitudes,
or behaviors.
Power – refers to the ability (real or perceived) of the source to
administer rewards or punishment to the receiver
• Compliance – the process by which the receiver accepts the position
advocated by the source to receive rewards or avoid punishment.
82. Types of Spokespeople
(a) Celebrity
Pros: attention-getting; instant
recognition; goodwill associated
with celebrity is transferred to
product
Cons: expensive; risky; may
detract attention from brand
83. Types of Spokespeople
(b) Expert
Pros: allay fears; less expensive
Used when: product is technical or consumers need
assurance
(c) Ordinary People
Used when: strong audience identification with
spokesperson
Pros: sincerity and trustworthiness come thro’
84. Source Attractiveness
Resemblance
between the
source and
recipient of the
message
Similarity
Knowledge of the
source through
repeated or
prolonged
exposure
Familiarity
Affection for the
source resulting
from physical
appearance,
behavior, or
personal traits
Likeability
85. Top Celebrity Endorsers
Top Male Endorsers
• Tiger Woods
• Michael Jordan
• David Beckham
• Lance Armstrong
Top Female Endorsers
• Maria Sharapova
• Jennifer Lopez
• Jessica Simpson
• Venus/Serena Williams
• Annika Sorenstram
86. This ad shows Maria Sharapova, who has
endorsement contracts with a number of
companies, including Mike, Canon, Motorola,
and Tag Heuer
87. Advertising Risks of Using
Celebrities
The celebrity’s behavior may pose
a risk to the company
The celebrity may overshadow
the product being endorsed
The celebrity may be overexposed,
reducing his or her credibility
The target audience may not be
receptive to celebrity endorsers
89. Research on learning and memory indicate that items
presented first and last are remembered better than those
presented in the middle. As this chart shows, the
strongest arguments should be placed at the beginning or
end of the message, never in the middle.
Presenting the strongest arguments at the beginning of
the message assumes a primacy effect is operating,
whereby information presented first is most effective.
Putting the strong points at the end assumes a recency
effect, whereby the last arguments are most persuasive.
96. Factual
This type of appeal is commonly associated with
high involvement decisions where receivers are
sufficiently motivated and able to process
information.
97. Slice of life
For example, many washing powder advertisers use a routine
that depicts two ordinary women (assumed to be similar to the
target receiver), invariably in a kitchen or garden, discussing
the poor results achieved by one of their washing powders.
Following the advice of one of them women, the stubborn
stains are seen to be overcome by the focus brand.
The overall effect of this appeal is for the receiver to conclude
the following: that person is like me; I have had the same
problem as that person; he or she is satisfied using brand X;
therefore I too will use brand X.
This technique is simple, well tried, well liked and successful.
98. Demonstration
Headache remedies, floor cleaners and tyre
commercials have traditionally demonstrated the
pain, the dirt and the danger respectively, and
have then shown how the focus brand relieves the
pain (Panadol), removes the stubborn dirt (Flash)
or stops in the wet on a coin (or the edge of a
rooftop – Continental tyres).
99. Name Calling
-A commercial for Hardee’s said that they give you a half a
pound of meat unlike other companies that give you mostly
bun instead of meat. By that, they were referring to McDonalds
Big Mac.
-The name calling technique links a person or idea to something
negative.
-The advertiser or propagandist hopes that the audience will not
like that person or idea because of the negative image that he
gives it.
100. Emotional advertising
Testimonial or endorsement
Animation
Music
Fear
Humor
Sex
lifestyle
•Joy
•Love
•Pleasure
•Pride
•Safety
•Security
•Self-esteem
•Combinations
101. Fear advertising
Fear is used in one of two ways. The first type
demonstrates the negative aspects or physical dangers
associated with a particular behavior or improper product
usage.
Drink-driving, life assurance and toothpaste advertising
typify this form of appeal.
The second approach is the threat of social rejection or
disapproval if the focus product is not used.
This type of fear is used frequently in advertisements for
such products as anti-dandruff shampoos and deodorants,
and is used to support consumers’ needs for social
acceptance and approval.
103. Animation
Animation techniques have advanced considerably in
recent years, with children as the prime target audience.
However, animation has been successfully used in many
adult-targeted advertisements, such as those by
Schweppes, Compaq, Tetley Tea, Direct Line Insurance
and the Electricity Board.
The main reason for using animation is that potentially
boring and low-interest/involvement products can be
made visually interesting and provide a means of gaining
attention.
A further reason for the use of animation is that it is easier
to convey complex products in a way that does not
patronize the viewer.
104. Rotoscoping
It is a form of animation which involves shooting live
action digital videos of actors and then using a
special software to paint over the screen images on
a computer to make them animated
This technique is effective in drawing the attention to
the ad
Example: Charles Schwab television ad
105. Sex advertising
Sex appeals normally work well for products such as
perfume, clothing and jewellery but provide for poor
effectiveness when the product is unrelated, such as
cars, photocopiers and furniture.
The use of sex in advertising messages is mainly
restricted to getting the attention of the audience
and, in some circumstances, sustaining interest.
It can be used openly, as in various lingerie, fragrance
and perfume advertisements, such as WonderBra
106. Sex advertising
-Men tend to focus on an ad's sexual imagery (breasts,
legs, skin, etc.), which draws their attention away from
other elements of the ad (logo, product shot, headline).
-This may be why men's brand recall was worse for the
sexual ads than for the nonsexual ones.
-An average of 19.8 percent recalled the correct
brand/product for the nonsexual ads; for the sexual ads,
9.8 percent did.
-MediaAnalyzer calls this the "vampire effect," with a too-
strong visual sucking up a lot of the attention that would
have otherwise been spent on an ad's actual
communication.
107. Music in advertising
There are a number of advertisers that are using
music in their advertising such as Apple, Nike,
Volkswagen, Microsoft Zune and many others.
There is a Web site,
www.songsincommercials.org, which has a
listing of songs being used in commercials by
product category.
108. Humor in advertising
Humor does aid awareness and attention, which
are the objectives best achieved by its use.
Humor may harm recall and comprehension in
general.
Humor does not aid persuasion in general.
Humor does not aid source credibility.
109. Humor in advertising
Humor is generally not very effective in bringing
about action/sales.
Radio and TV are the best media in which to use
humor; direct mail and newspapers are least suited.
Consumer non-durables and business services are
best suited to humor; corporate advertising and
industrial products are least suited.
110. Clutter
Half of the average magazine’s pages contain
ads and in some publications the ratio of ads to
editorial content is even higher.
On average, around a quarter of a broadcast
hour on TV is devoted to commercials
While most radio stations carry an average of 10
to 12 minutes of commercial time per hour.
114. Successful campaigns: both the brand management team and
the creative team have done their work well.
Marketing Mistakes: result when the brand manager fails to
distinguish the brand from competitive offerings.
Agency Mistakes: due to the ad agency’s inability to design an
effective execution, even though its brand management client
has a convincing message.
Complete Disasters: caused by poor value propositions and
mediocre executions.

127. Transformational Ads
A transformational advertisement is one which
associates the experience of using (consuming) the
advertised brand with a unique set of psychological
characteristics which would not typically be associated
with the brand experience to the same degree without
exposure to the advertisement. Thus, advertisements in
this category "transform" the experience of using the
brand by endowing this use with a particular experience
that is different from that of using any similar brand. It is
the advertisement itself which links the brand with the
capacity to provide the consumer with an experience
that is different from the consumption experience that
would normally be expected to occur without exposure
to the advertisement.
130. Teaser advertising
Advertisers introducing a new product often use
teaser ads, which is designed to build curiosity,
interest, and/or excitement by talking about the
new product, but not actually showing it.
Teaser ads, also called mystery ads, are also
used for new movies or TV shows. They are
especially popular among automotive advertisers
for introducing a new model or announcing
significant changes in a vehicle.

140. 2-Pre-approach
-A part of the selling process that includes developing
information about prospective customers & planning
the sales interview
- It is very risky to a qualified prospect without a
preparation

needs , interests , …….etc
142. 3- Approach
-It is the first step of the actual sales presentation in
which the sales person tries to learn more about the
customer ‘s needs , create a good impression and

impression
146. -The sales person seeks to persuasively communicate
the product’s features and the benefits it will provide
after the sale
-Sales presentations can be improved with
demonstration aids such as
Product samples
Computer based simulations
Brochures
147. Features and benefits
A feature is a quality
or characteristic of the
product or service.
A benefit is the way in
which a specific
feature will help a
particular buyer. A
benefit helps the buyer
more directly answer
the question, “What’s
in it for me?”
148. 5- Handling objections
The effective sales person anticipates
objections & is prepared to respond with
additional information
150. Common methods for
responding to objections

that is factually not true, use:
If the buyer raises a valid
concern or offers an opinion, use:
Direct denial
Indirect denial
Compensation
Feel-felt-found
Boomerang
Pass-up
