of target audience. Using repetitive advertising in newspapers, magazines, TV and radio programs. Simple message.

Factors Related to Success of Advertising for New Products
1.Communicating that something is different about the product. Successful introductory commercials communicated some point of difference for the new product
2.Positioning the brand difference in relation to the product category. Successful commercials positioned their brand’s difference within a specific product category. For example, a new breakfast product was positioned as the “Crispiest cereal”or a new beverage as the “smoothest soft drink.”
19
Factors Related to Success of Advertising for New Products3.Communicating that the product difference
is beneficial to consumers. Nearly all of the successful commercials linked a benefit directly to the new product’s difference.
4.Supporting the idea that something about the product is different and/or beneficial to consumers. All the successful commercials communicated support for the product’s difference claim or its relevance to consumers. Support took the form of demonstrations of performance, information supporting a uniqueness claim, endorsements, or testimonials.

Several Ways to Increase Sales (what mktg.comm. can do to help?)
New customers from other brands
New customers from other categories
Increasing share of requirements (SOR)

Increasing usage
22
Relationship of Adv. to Sales & ProfitsIn consumer goods marketing, increases in market share are closely related to increases in the marketing budget.There are minimum levels below which advertising expenditures have no effect on sales. Sales normally increase with additional advertising. At some point, however, the rate of return declines.There will be some sales even with no advertising. Sales response to advertising may build over time, but the durability of advertising is brief, so a consistent investment is important.Culture and competition impose saturation limits above which no amount or advertising can increase sales.
