1. Describe the stimulus;
The world around us is constantly changing and for all living things to be able to survive and strive every day we must be able to respond to those changes. Any detectable change is called stimulus, our bodies use our senses to react appropriately in every case. It only makes sense for the Marketing world to exploit those facts in a way that benefits them. We live in a world in which a person can have almost anything they want to be delivered right to their front door; a lot of us take advantage of those services on a daily basis. A lot of companies have special trucks, driver’s outfits, etc. but not many, or any that I know include a unique, fun and exciting way of delivery. I saw years ago on a famous TV show when they delivered a mattress from the place called “The Mattress King”, the delivery guy sang a little song while delivering the product to the client, and I thought why not have them dressed in a robe, or cloak, maybe with a crown, and have a theme song play when they deliver the product to the client. It could be a fun, interesting, and memorable way to present the company, that provides good exposure, attracts the attention of neighbors and anyone passing by and a way to increase the curiosity about the product.
2. Provide suggestions, based on factors that determine the amount of attention that a stimulus will tend to receive, as to what the marketer might realistically do to increase the amount of attention given. Be sure to consider and discuss the cost and feasibility of such changes (e.g., changing a newspaper advertisement from black and white to color will increase cost dramatically.
