Free Text Questions
If IKEA were to develop an advertising campaign featuring
affordable furniture solutions for the challenges of
student life, what technique would IKEA be using to
differentiate its products? Discuss the effectiveness of
this technique.
Answer Given

A recent phenomenon in advertising is the progressive use of lifestyle associations
to differentiate among products. Advertisers target lifestyle aspirations by
appealing to the emotional side of the purchase decision. The advertising makes
an emotional connection with potential consumers and shows how the product
plays a role in one's life.

Event Marketing and Sponsorship is considered a growth
area of marketing communications. Discuss the
benefits of these IMC activities.
Answer Given

Similar to public relations, event marketing and sponsorship often yield favourable

news coverage and publicity. Customers may feel better about the sponsor
knowing that it is participating in something that is meaningful to that customer,
and it may ultimately influence product purchases.


Alpine Gum offered consumers a significant benefit over its
competitor Hall's lozenges: its medicinal properties
last 20 minutes compared to only seven or eight
minutes for a lozenge. Discuss Alpine's advantage and
how it contributed to its advertising campaign.
Answer Given

The most common way to show advantage is to demonstrate the superiority of a
product compared to a similar product or stating what the product can do. Alpine's
campaign had impact because the message was meaningful to the target
audience.

Explain the relationship between a company's corporate
image and consumer's attitudes.
Answer Given

An Ipsos-Reid study showed that a positive corporate image is likely to help
ensure a specific brand ends up on a consumer's list of products to consider. 85
percent of adults surveyed believed that a positive corporate image affects their
choices. Essentially, a company's advertising and marketing communications
reflect the image of the company and its products or services, and is designed to
transform consumers' attitudes.

Explain the difference between product advertising and
promotional advertising.

Answer Given

Product advertising informs customers of the benefits of a particular brand,
communicating features, attributes and benefits. A feature is something about a
product, an attribute is the functional result of the feature, and the benefit clarifies
how it is important to the consumer. Features, attributes and benefits are
communicated in functional or emotional terms to elicit a consumer response.
Promotional advertising is designed to accomplish a single task, to get consumers
to take action immediately. It communicates a distinct reason why buying now is
better than buying later. Advertising that announces a limited time offer is an
example of promotional advertising.

Define personal selling and explain its relationship to
advertising.
Answer Given

Personal selling is a personalized form of communication that involves a seller
presenting the features and benefits of a product or service to a buyer for the
purpose of making a sale. A sales representative presents the merits of a brand to
the buyer at the head office of a retailer. To illustrate the importance of personal
selling, consider how a new product such as Tide to Go or Minute Maid Simply
Orange arrives on the shelf at your local supermarket.


Discuss how an advertisement featuring a contest for Bell
Mobility would impact product sales.
Answer Given

Sales promotion activities like a contest encourage immediate sales and may
encourage volume buying or seasonal buying. Sales promotion activities may also

encourage merchandising activity in retail stores which can provide the opportunity
for increased sales at the point of purchase.

Why is it so important for a product to live up to the promise
advertising makes?
Answer Given

Advertising messages focus on the unique selling points of the product and the
benefits the customer will derive from them. Getting the customer to try a product
once, at great expense, only to be disappointed in the quality or whatever the
primary benefit was to be is a waste of money. It is imperative that the brand meet
consumer expectations so that repeat purchases occur in the longer term.

Advertising has always played a major role in achieving
brand and company objectives. Discuss how
opportunities for contemporary advertising to do this
are changing.
Answer Given

Advertising plays a major role by helping attract new customers and retain current
customers. Contemporary advertising is now more targeted based on database
and interactive marketing techniques. New opportunities tend to be more microbased than macro-based (mass advertising), but the purpose is the same, to help
a brand or company grow.

The most common way to show a competitive advantage is
to demonstrate product superiority. Provide an
example from a recent advertisement you've seen.
Answer Given

Advertisers demonstrate the superiority of a given product by comparing it to a

similar product or by making significant claims about what the product will do.
Examples could include any product that is more affordable (KIA), faster (Bell
Sympatico), superior performance/clarity (Sony), etc.

Describe how Van Houtte Cafe increased the impact of its
advertising campaign by combining it with other
elements of marketing communications.
Answer Given


Van Houtte combined a coupon offer and a vacation contest in one promotion to
encourage immediate purchase of its products. Such strategies are frequently
implemented in conjunction with an advertising campaign.

How do product demand and the product life cycle influence
the decision to invest in advertising?
Answer Given

Positive primary demand (for a product category) provides the best economic
environment in which to advertise. Conversely, if primary demand is declining,
investment in advertising should be reduced or even withdrawn. When selective
demand (for a specific product) is positive, it makes sense to invest in a brand
campaign.

The term engagement of the audience is very important in
advertising today. Explain this term with an example.
Answer Given

For advertisers, the challenge is getting their message across in one medium
while the consumer is active at the same time in several other media. We often

call this multi-tasking. The advertiser has to get and hold the attention of the
consumer. An example would be a very funny or controversial commercial that can
only be found at the advertisers website.

Newspapers and magazines now have online content. How is
this working out for them from a financial standpoint?
Answer Given

Online readers have grown accustomed to free content. Publishing companies
have not been able to attract advertising revenues on their websites fast enough
to compensate for the lost revenues incurred in hard copy.

Why are members of contemporary Canadian society
complaining about the use of sex in advertising to sell
products?
Answer Given

Critics charge that advertisers are using more and more sex with each passing
year. Using sex appeals in an appropriate manner and for appropriate products
seems natural, but gratuitous sex is something consumers shouldn't have to
tolerate.

Identify and briefly explain the differences between trade and
industrial advertising.
Answer Given

Trade advertising is conducted by manufacturers and directed towards distribution
channel members. Messages usually stress the product's acceptance by other
intermediaries, the promotions that the manufacturer will offer to help re-sell the



product and its profit margins. Industrial advertising is conducted by suppliers
targeting industrial buyers of capital equipment, accessories, fabricated parts or
raw materials. The advertising message is supportive of personal selling activities.
Industrial advertising tends to stimulate awareness and generate sales leads.

Why is it imperative that a brand meets consumer
expectations?
Answer Given

It is imperative that the brand meet consumer expectations (delivered as
promised) so that repeat purchases occur in the longer term. Poor or inconsistent
quality is inconsistent with customer relationship management programs that
companies are now implementing.

Define direct-response communications. Provide a recent
example.
Answer Given

Direct-response communications is a form of advertising in which messages are
delivered directly to potential customers on an individual basis. Direct mail is the
most common means of delivering these messages, but other forms of
communication such as direct-response television, print and telemarketing play a
significant role. Current examples would include Carol Alt informercials, Columbia
House CD and DVD club, etc.

Discuss the challenges that new technologies are posing for
advertisers today.
Answer Given


The increasing penetration of satellite dishes, cable television, and the availability
of so many stations have changed the way that people view television. Audiences
will continue to be chopped into increasingly smaller sizes, a phenomenon
referred to as audience fragmentation. In addition, consumers are increasingly
taking control of their television viewing by using their remote controls or PVRs.
Online delivery of many television shows and sporting events has led to ondemand viewing.

What are the critical stages for advertising in the product life
cycle?
Answer Given

The critical stages for marketing communications are the product's introduction
and growth stages. Advertising objectives focus on the creation of primary demand
if it is a new product category and creating awareness for the new brand name
and package in the consumer's mind.


Extreme advertising is designed to "turn up the volume" and
prevent someone from fast forwarding them on the
PVR. Discuss this statement.
Answer Given

Advertisers have only a few seconds to catch the attention of today's viewers
before they're gone! To many people in the advertising industry this style of ad fits
with today's fads. We have extreme sports, extreme music, extreme food and
drink; ad agencies are simply trying to keep up.

What strategies should a company consider if it opts to
rejuvenate a brand when it reaches the mature stage of
its product life cycle?

Answer Given

Strategic options may include modifying or improving the product, presenting new
uses for the product (and thereby increasing frequency of use), or attracting new
user segments to the product. Regardless of the strategic option selected,
advertising would play a key role in communicating the new direction.

Should the success of an advertising campaign be measured
strictly in terms of product sales? Why or why not?
