budgets as a ratio to sales. e.g. Medora.
MARKET SHARE Building the market or taking share
from competitors requires large advertising spending than simply maintaining current share.
Low-share brand usually needs more advertising spending as a percentage of sales.
COMPETITORSBrands in a market with many competitors and high advertising clutter must be advertised more heavily to be noticed above the noise in the market.
e.g. Nokia, Samsung & LG Mobiles
PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION Undifferentiated brands may require heavy advertising
to set them apart. e.g. Mortein
In differentiated brands the advertising can only be used to point out the differences to consumers.
e.g. head&shoulders
TYPE OF PRODUCT/MARKET Business to consumers(B2C)

SELECTING ADVERTISING MEDIA
ADVERTISING MEDIAAdvertising Media: The vehicles through which advertising
messages are delivered to their intended audience.
MAJOR STEPS IN ADVERTISING MEDIA SELECTION: Deciding on reach, frequency and
impact. Choosing among major media types. Selecting specific media vehicle. Deciding on media timing.
1. DECIDING ON REACH, FREQUENCY & IMPACTReach is a measure of percentage of people in the target market who are exposed to the ad campaign during a given period of time.
Reach is most important when launching new products, extensions of well-known brands, or infrequently purchased brands, or going after an undefined target market .e.g coolbank,olfruit etc.
DECIDING ON REACH, FREQUENCY AND IMPACT (CONT’D)
Frequency is a measure of how many times the average person in the target market is exposed to the message.Frequency is most important where there are strong competitors, a complex story to tell, high consumer resistance, or a frequent purchase-cycle e.g. ufone, sunsilk, surf excel etc.
DECIDING ON REACH, FREQUENCY AND IMPACT (CONT’D)Impact is the qualitative value of a message exposure through a given medium.For products that need to be demonstrated, messages on television may have more impact than messages on radio e.g. NokiaProducts for which consumers provide input on design or feature might be better promoted at a website than direct mail e.g. jones soda

3. Selecting SPECIFIC MEDIA VEHICLES
Media Vehicle - a specific medium for the transmission of an advertiser's message
The media planner now must choose the best media vehicles on these bases:
Considerations for selecting Best media Vehicles: Favor those vehicles which have lower cost, for reaching most of
the target customer. LIKE: Today trend mobiles company is frequently using local newspaper & bill board for advertising.
Consider the costs of producing ‘ads’ for different media.
Examples: 1. For Candyland,Hoest sweets don’t
use higher cost vehicles.
2.For Land Cruiser, black beery, motorbike don’t use lower cost vehicles.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR SELECTING BEST MEDIA VEHICLES: Balance costs against several media
vehicle’s effectiveness factors: The planner should balance costs
against the media vehicle’s audience quality.
The media planner should consider audience attention or engagement.
The planner should assess the vehicle’s editorial quality.
4. DECIDING ON MEDIA TIMING The advertiser must also decide how to
schedule the advertising over the course of year.Some marketers do only seasonal advertising.
Pattern of ads:ContinuityPulsing
Continuity means scheduling ads evenly within a given period.
Pulsing means scheduling ads unevenly over a given time period
Continuity Continuous scheduling is a pattern of placing ads at a steady rate over a period of time. There may be short gaps at regular intervals and also long gaps. This pattern of advertising is prevalent in service and packaged goods that require continuous reinforcement on the audience for top of mind recollection at point of purchase. For instance, LUX soaps, sell all year, but more in summer months.
Advantages: Works as a reminder Covers the entire purchase cycle Cost efficiencies in the form of large media discounts Positioning advantages within media
PULSING Pulsing combines flighting
(flighting involves intermittent and irregular periods of advertising, alternating with shorter periods of no advertising at all.) and continuous scheduling by using a low advertising level all year round and heavy advertising during peak selling periods. For instance, under-arm deodorants, sell all year, but more in summer months.
Advantages: Covers different market situations
Evaluating Advertising EffectivenessAdvertising accountability and return on advertising investment have become hot issues for most companies.
Increasingly, top management is asking:
How do we know that we’re spending the right amount on advertising?
What return are we getting on our advertising investing?
Advertisers should regularly evaluate two types of advertising results;-
• The communication effects
• The sales and profit effects
THE COMMUNICATION EFFECTS
Measuring the communication effects of an ad tells whether the ad and media are communicating the ad message well.
Advertisement creators get so caught up in designing a creative, cool advertisement that they fail to effectively deliver a message that will facilitate the success of their marketing communications strategy.
it probably has a high level or at least a substantial level of creativity in it.
usually creative advertisements have two traits:
Originality
Appropriateness
It deals with how you deliver your message to the consumers
originality
If it isn't very distinguishable from competitive advertising, it won't be able to capture the consumer's attention. (Change in behavior)
The jazz musician Charlie Mingus once said of creativity and originality, "Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can play weird, that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple complicated is commonplace, making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity."
Appropriateness
it must be appropriate for solving the marketing objectives, which would probably include increasing sales and profits. If the advertisement fails to meet objectives it serves no purpose for both the marketing plan and the company.
Example:
Good example can be SAFEGUARD they targeted children by showing the cartoons (safeguard commander)
THE SALES AND PROFIT EFFECTS
Sales and profits effects of advertising are often much harder to measure.
One way to measure the sales and profits effects of advertising is to compare past sales and profits with past advertising expenditures.
Another way is through experiments.
For example
Coca-cola could vary the amount it spends on advertising in different market areas and measure the differences in the resulting sales and profit levels.
More complex experiments could be designed to include other variables, such as differences in the ads or media used.
RUNNING A COUPON.
One satisfyingly concrete way of tracking how many customers were exposed to advertising is to use coupons.
“Marketers are tracking all kind of data and they still can’t answer the basic questions”about advertising accountability, says a marketing analyst, “because they don’t have real models and metrics by which to make sense of it”
Thus, although the situation is improving as marketers seek more answers, managers often must rely on large doses of judgment along with quantitative analysis when assessing advertising performance.
OTHER ADVERTISING CONSIDERATIONS
In developing advertising strategy the company must address two questions:
How will the company organize its advertising function?
How will the company adapt its advertising strategies to the complexities of International Market?
These Considerations includes the following:
Other Advertising considerations
Organizing for Advertising International Advertising Decision
ORGANIZING FOR ADVERTISING
Sales DepartmentsIn
SMALL COMPANIES Advertising Departments
InLarger Companies
Most large companies use outside advertising agencies due to several advantages.
ADVERTISING AGENCY
Firm that Assists Companiesin Planning, Preparing,
Implementing and Evaluating Their
AdvertisingPrograms.
HISTORY OF ADVERTISING AGENCIES
Started in Mid-to-late 1800s by salespeople and brokers who worked for the media and received a commission for selling advertising space to companies.
HISTORY OF ADVERTISING AGENCIES (CONT’D)
As the time passed, the salespeople began to help customers prepare their ads.
Eventually, they formed agencies and grew closer to the advertisers than to the media.
HOW DOES AN ADVERTISING AGENCY WORK? Today agencies
employs specialists who can often perform advertising tasks better than the company's own staff can.
So today, even companies with strong advertising departments of their own use advertising agencies.

CHINA BAN ADVERTISING EMAILS China bans sending e-
mail for advertising purposes to people without their permission.
China also has restrictive censorship rules for TV and Radio advertising.
