ADVERTISING
What is Advertising
Advertising is non-personal communication paid for by an identified sponsor using mass media to persuade or inform an audience.
Advertising allows an organization to:
Communicate its message in a favorable way, and
Repeat the message as often as it deems necessary to have an impact on receivers.
Use propaganda as a means of achieving power—that is, to get an audience to do what it otherwise would not do. This is what gives Marketers so much power.
Classic Tradition of Persuasion (Propaganda)
The Age of Athens and Aristotle (4th century BCE—Source: Aristotle’s Poetics):
1. logos (message)--tailored to fit pre-existing beliefs
this argument should follow the rules of logic,
“rational argumentation”
2. pathos (emotion)--vivid examples that evoke fear,
anger, envy, shame, sadness, wistfulness, etc. 3. ethos (source)------presented by a “good” person
Classic Tradition of Persuasion (Propaganda)
The Age of Rome and Cicero (Officia Oratoris)—1st
century, BCE)
1.Charm: this establishes the speaker’s credibility
2.Teaching: this allows the speaker to present a
sound argument
3. Moving: this allows the speaker to move and
motivate the audience through emotional force
Classic Tradition of Persuasion (Propaganda)
The Age of Anton Mesmer (early 19th century)
1. Charm the audience and establish credibility
(perform a “Christian Revivalist” show of sorts)
2. Find a message that many will find acceptable
(animal fluids are the same as being possessed
by the devil)
3. Influence emotions by offering hope
(at last, pain and evil can be displaced)
4. Define situation to the best advantage
(Trances/Magnets and Public Relations)
Modern Tradition of Persuasion (Propaganda)
Repetition (frequency)
Intensity (bright and loud ads)
Association (resonance of experience)
Ingenuity (distinctive ads—humor, sex, adventure)
1. Attract attention
2. Comprehensible (simple) argument
3. Entrench arguments until they are “true”
4. Provide an incentive and ask audience to take
action

Media Scheduling: When to Say It
A media schedule specifies the exact media to use, when, and how often the message should appear.
Assess advertising exposure – degree to which the target market will see an advertising message in a specific medium and depends on the following two factors:
Reach: total audience % expressed as absolute over 30 days
Frequency: average exposure rate over 30 days
Media Decision
1. Reach/Frequency: R X F = GRP’s; GRP/F = R; GRP/R = F
Efficiency: Insertion Price X 1000/ Tgt.
Population $250(1000)/50,000 = $5
3. Effectiveness: Recall and Recognition
4. Media Types/Vehicles
5. Media Timing
