Figure 14.1 The balance of emotions and information provision.
Three Basic Features of Effective Advertising
• Attention - Usually highly intrusive, original or relevant
- May use personal involvement or curiosity - Works to increase involvement - Stopping power and pulling power
• Memorability - “Locking power” - Recognition vs. Recall - Key techniques: taglines, key visuals
• Persuasion - Controversial Puffery - Shapes attitudes - Rational vs. emotional appeals
Three Phases of Advertisement Creation
• Phase I: Strategy and Analysis
• Phase II: Execution/Design
• Phase III: Production
Phase I: Analysis and Strategy1.) State Communication Objectives -
- Perception: attention, awareness, interest, recall - Education: learning and comprehension; association, positioning and differentiation
- Persuasion: emotional responses, rational responses, attitude and behavior change
2.) Identify Target Audiences - Specific individual profiles - Niche markets easier to write to
3.) Create Copy Platform or Workplan
4.) Decide what message strategy will work best
5.) Decide on selling premises - Benefits - Unique selling propositions
Copy Platform: Key Questions
• What is the problem or opportunity?
• What net effect do we want from advertising?
• Who are we trying to reach?
• What doubts reside in our prospects’ minds?
• What or who is the competition?
• How do we support that point?
• How will we measure effectiveness?
• Are there any obligatory elements to consider?
Phase II: Execution1.) Build on creative concept by brainstorming among team members-copywriters, art directors, creative directors, etc. Develop thumbnail sketches of art and copy.
2.) Decide on Media: - Print Advertising: newspapers, magazines, brochures and papers - Broadcast Advertising: television ads, infomercials, radio advertising - Out of home advertising - Transit advertising - On-line advertising - Direct mail advertising - Directory ads - Movie trailers - Product placement
3.) Adapt for particular markets or audiences
