Advertising Extreme

Advertisers these days have many options for advertising, but Mobile Advertising and Internet Advertising are the two most thrilling, as advertisements look very attractive when displayed on phone screens and on computer/laptop screens. Since much potential and scope lies in mobile and Internet advertising and it tends to deeply appeal to the viewers. Mobile Advertisement and Internet Advertisements have come in focus.

Mobile Advertising is closely related to online or Internet Advertising, though its reach is far greater – mobile advertising’s estimated targets say that by end 2008, there would be global total 4 billion. Global estimates of computers, including desktops and laptops, is at 800 million. Therefore exclusive advertising on web pages meant for access by mobile phones is a great idea.

It would be easier for an advertiser to convince people to buy their product when people would receive and view ads while there are already out for shopping. Giving them the relevant information needed can do this and supplying them with added details could also influence them to the extent that they straightaway proceed to buy product after seeing its ads.

As essential needs of all humans are very similar, a person who has received an advertisement through Mobile or Internet may not be in need of the service or product advertised but might know someone who is in need of it and so can pass on the advertiser’s message through word of mouth, forwarding the link or the advertisement. A major benefit of Internet Advertising is that the information and content can be accessed in any country even at late odd hours. Internet Advertisements are often interactive advertising so if the Internet Advertiser opts for a response, the viewer may like to visit the brand’s website, or try to contact them through email, phone, etc.

Mobile Advertising and Internet Advertising in future are predicted to become the major sources of advertising.

Poets would often look up to the skies for inspiration but with advertising balloons gaining ground and becoming oh so popular, it seems that looking at the skies will be daily occurrence for poets and everyone else.

Indeed, one cannot blame people from craning their necks. Advertising balloons are attention-grabbing and eye-catching. This is because this kind of advertisement is a novelty. Besides, anything that flies is interesting for people.

Most companies use advertising balloons as a first-line of offense in marketing. Because of its novelty and shock factor, it is a great marketing tool to use when you are introducing a product.

Advantages of Advertising Balloons

1. Big

An advertising balloon can be seen miles away and even if one cannot make out the name of the product being advertised, one will surely be curious enough to turn around and really see what is flying over the horizon. This is a great way to reach a wider set of audience. You can reach people who are plying the streets of the metro as well as the highways. You can reach people within office buildings as well as those that work outside.

2. Unique

As mentioned previously, advertising with a balloon is still a novel concept. Because of this, advertising balloons are more likely to catch peoples attention and not only that, because of the novelty factor, they are more likely to be retained in peoples minds.

3. Branding

Who says an advertising balloon can be shaped in just one way? Actually, specialized advertising balloons that are shaped like the product being advertised may also be used. This way, one do not have to actually see the product name from miles to know that what is being advertised. This is a great way for branding and creating awareness about the appearance of the product.

4. Mobile

Unlike other forms of advertisements such as print ads, TV ads or billboards, advertising balloons are mobile. It is not fixed in just one vantage point. Although it can be tied so that it would not drift away, advertising balloons can be seen from different directions.

5. Cheap

It may not seem at first but advertising balloons are actually cheaper than billboards. And for something that reaches a wider audience as compared to billboards, which are fixed or magazines, which cater to a specific target market, advertising balloons are well worth your advertising expenses.

6. A cut above the rest

Imagine this: you and perhaps one or two, or maybe 10 other establishments are along a road. How do you get passers by notice you and stop? That’s easy. While your competitors have probably dressed up their exteriors with colorful signs and what nots, get an advertising helium balloon to float over your establishment. This way, your balloon advertisement is seen miles away and will definitely tower over the rest-pun intended.

7. Light as a balloon

Using helium balloons is a cost effective means to advertise a product or service. It’s fun and attractive and is hard to miss so you’re sure that you’ve made the right investment. There are a lot means and ways to advertise a product and service but not all these methods assure that you will get the attention of your target market. With something as unique and large as a helium balloon, it’s difficult to go wrong.

8. Mobile advertisement

Remember that you don’t have to float your helium balloon over your establishment. Be bold and creative and float it over areas with high traffic where your advertisement will be hard to miss. You can’t do that with other means of static advertising. This is why advertising with helium balloons are a smart choice.

9. Fly high

Advertising with helium balloons is the best way for you translate your products or services into actual profit. As your helium balloon advertisement flies high, so does your sales and satisfied customers of this service will tell you that sales have been on an upward trend ever since they decided to take advantage of advertising with helium balloons.

10. The best for the best

Knowing that using helium balloons for your advertising needs is not you need to know. You also need to know where to get the best helium balloons that are cost effective and from durable from reliable sources. For instance, if you are within the United States, it would be better for you to order a helium balloon from a manufacturer in the States rather than order one from India or China.

This way, you can save on shipping plus your chances of getting stuck in customs are nil. Imagine that if for one reason or another, you are not satisfied with your purchase, you will have to resend the shipment and wait again for the replacement, meantime, incurring costs and more delays through customs. This is more hassle that you ever need to deal with.

Ask any advertising person that you know if they have heard of, or read, The Cluetrain Manifesto and most of them will shake their heads with an emphatic no, which is a shame because within this book lies the clue to their demise.

Whilst the book is written with the Web in mind, most of what it has to say is true of the communication process itself.

So allow us to revisit the Cluetrain Manifesto and apply what they have to say about the world we live in now and the advertising and marketing world as we know it, setting aside the Web for the moment.

In the 20th century, the rise of mass communications media enhanced industry’s ability to address even larger markets with no loss of shoe leather and mass marketing truly came into its own.

With larger markets came higher rewards and these higher rewards had to be protected. More bureaucracy, more hierarchy and more command and control meant the customer who looked you in the eye, was promptly escorted out of the building by security.

The product of mass marketing was the message, delivered in as many forms as there were media and in as many guises as there were marketers to invent them.

Delivered locally, shipped globally, repeated inescapably, the business of marketing devoted itself to delivering the message. Unfortunately, what all these gurus of marketing did not realise and still do not today is that the customer never fully took delivery!

Why, because there is no demand for these advertising messages. Lets face it, consumers don’t want to hear from business.

The message that gets broadcast to you, me and the rest of the population has nothing to do with me in particular. Consequently, it’s worse than noise.

It’s an interruption in my life and like most people, I would rather do without it thank you very much. Just leave me to watch/listen to my program without any facile interruptions.

And that is the awful truth about marketing and advertising. It broadcasts messages to people who simply don’t want to listen or see it. Every advertisement, press release, publicity stunt and give-away designed by the Marketing Department, or Advertising Agency is coloured by the fact that all their hard work and planning is being presented to a public that doesn’t ask to hear or see it.

Recently the Sunday Times, in the UK, had this to say about advertising: “Things have changed a lot since you used to get 20 million people gathered around television sets to watch Coronation Street and one advertisement could reach them all.

Marketing budgets are being spent differently, and this means less money is being allotted for advertising. A couple of million pounds can buy you a few hours on television but marketers are realising that it can buy an awful lot more if it is spent elsewhere.”

Advertising agencies may be flatfooted in responding to the change, Advertisers cannot find what they need from the big agencies, which tend to be biased towards television advertising. Small agencies are more flexible and open minded to these changes but the likes of WPP can be a bit slow to respond.

Nestle, once one of the country’s biggest advertisers has slashed the amount it spends on television advertising.

Andrew Harrison, its Marketing Director, says “This is a start of a trend towards more rounded communications. And the big agencies like WPP need to look at offering more than just the traditional services….”

Despite all this rhetoric there is no evidence yet that advertising agencies, or the marketing departments of Clients understand the meaning of the word “communications.”

And herein lies the real problem, the complete lack of understanding of

what the communication process is all about.

Sending a message by itself isn’t sufficient to create an act of communication; there needs to be a response to a message as well. To illustrate this point, think of a radio station broadcasting late at night without a single listener tuned in.

You don’t have to argue about trees falling in an empty forest to agree that no communication has occurred here. In the same way, when you have a speaker talking to one or more people who aren’t listening, there is no communication taking place.

For communication to take place, you must have a message sender and a message receiver and the two sides must talk to each other to understand what the other is thinking/doing.

Advertising occurs when a group becomes too large for all members to contribute. One aspect of advertising is an unequal amount of “speaking”. Advertisers deliver their information to the mass audience, with limited opportunities, if any, for feedback.

The audience, therefore, is unable to talk back in a two-way conversation the way they might in a small group setting and as a result, do not feel involved, do not feel that the message has relevance to them as an individual.

Advertising views communication as something one person “does” to others. In this linear communication model, communication is like giving an injection: a sender encodes ideas and feeling into some sort of message and then injects them by means of a channel (TV, Newspapers, radio, etc).

Despite its simplicity, the linear view of communication isn’t completely accurate. For one thing it makes the questionable assumption that all communication involves encoding.

A more obvious problem of the linear model is its suggestion that communication flows in one direction, from sender to receiver.

However, most types of communication, especially the interpersonal variety, are two-way exchanges. To put it differently, advertising’s linear view ignores the fact that receivers react to messages by sending messages of their own. And if the message sender is not listening in turn…?

Lack of communication competence.

Most advertising agencies and clients lack the skills of communication, advertising messages are more carefully prepared than interpersonal communication and yet “message understandability” tends to be lower.

Advertisements are more carefully prepared because gatekeepers (those who prepare and send out messages) are more cautious about what they say to large audiences than they are to audiences of one or just a few people. They check their facts more carefully and they prepare their syntax and vocabulary more precisely.

And yet, because their audience contributes much less feedback, the source cannot correct any lapse in interest or understanding, so people are more likely to misinterpret what they hear or read over the mass media.

It is important to note, of course, that just because mediated messages are more carefully prepared, they are not necessarily more accurate. Gatekeepers have a way of looking at the world based on personal beliefs or motivations. This “world view” sometimes tends to make media messages inaccurate.

Advertising ignores communications theory.

As the mass media have matured, the behavioural dynamics of perception and interaction, which are not addressed by advertising agencies, have become critical to the re-definition of media and its role in marketing communications. With passive, one way, forms of advertising such as media display or television advertising, there is a certainty of a degree of non-responsiveness.

However, with interactive marketing communication techniques, there is a commitment to participate, which, in turn leads to a set of possibilities, which are significantly different in how they affect the communication process itself.

All advertising is a form of learning, with the advertiser asking potential customers to change their behaviour once they have understood the benefits of the product or service on offer.

The anticipation of response generated through interactive marketing communication, means that the recipients will approach the data with a commitment to read and learn it.

In other words interactive marketing communication turns passive advertising into active advertising and actually alters behaviour during the learning process . It also cuts through the psychological barriers, which prevent an individual from changing brands.

People tend to filter out information they do not want to hear and this alters the effectiveness of advertising in quite a dramatic way. The purchaser’s decision is invariably a compromise and this leads to a certain amount of anxiety.

The worry that perhaps the purchase decision was not the best or right one. In order to minimise this anxiety the purchaser seeks to reinforce their choice and begins to take more notice of their chosen product’s advertising.

And, at the same time, the purchaser deliberately suppresses data, which might challenge their personal decision, by ignoring the advertising of competitive brands.

People are often loyal to a brand simply because they do not want to

readdress a decision that they have already made. The opportunity to screen out such undesired data always exists when media advertisements have to stand on their own and fight for attention.

Despite all this, lets repeat what we suggested at the beginning of this chapter, there is still no evidence yet that advertising agencies, or the marketing departments of Clients really understand the meaning of the word “communications.” They are making progress in some areas but there is clearly a whole lot more to be done.

Advertising was initially used to stimulate demand when mass production resulted in a surplus of products. Advertising continues to be used to stimulate demand for a product but the methods of doing so have become so much more advanced. Advertising is used to ultimately increase the sales of a product or service. Although this may be an aim of the marketing activities of a firm, advertising should only be used to fulfill certain marketing objectives.

Advertising is very often used to strengthen or alter a brands image, in fact Channel once launched an advertising campaign to discourage sales from a lower social group as their long term profit relied on sustaining it’s up market image. Advertising is one of the key marketing tools to build a brand image through creating an appealing brand personality. In order to develop a distinctive and enduring brand image that consumers will remember and associate positive values with, advertising should be the choice for any company.

Advertising is the ideal marketing tool if you are aiming to create, strengthen or alter a brand image as it can position your brand, visually and aurally, adjacent to personalities that would fit with your product offerings and appeal to your target audience; such as sensitivity, bravery or humour.

Obtaining long term profits through strengthening a brand image is an achievable objective for advertising campaigns whilst direct sales proves one of the least effective aspects of advertising.

Apart from strengthening or altering the brand image, another key objective of advertising is to improve a firm’s corporate image by persuading the target audience that the company is trustworthy and reputable. Firms such as BP have often tried to use advertising for this purpose by projecting an image that deflects from the main purpose of their activities, they do this by building the company as a brand – through creative and powerful advertising. Image advertising can be used by firms to either change the attitudes towards their company, which may effect buying decisions, or to reposition the company to a different audience. In 2006 Walkers launched an advertising campaign to improve their company image, they used advertising imagery to associate their company with being health conscious with the aim to keep the custom of their now ‘waistline aware’ customers.

A third reason for the use of advertising, that is more associated with governmental campaigns is to change or alter the behaviors of people, for example healthy eating. This form of advertising is mainly about providing information to people that encourages them to sway towards a certain decision or direction. Health, fitness, anti smoking and dietary campaigns may all benefit by using advertising in this way. Advertising can achieve these changes in behaviour by not only developing hard hitting, creative and eye catching campaigns, but also suggesting to consumers that this new type of behaviours is acceptable and better for them, because they have been told about it from a reputable company or it has appeared on TV or in press. The mass media have been able to achieve this by integrating themselves in the everyday lives of consumers and have increasingly become an essential tool in directing us to behave in a certain way.

The most common reason to use advertising is to increase the awareness of a brand, to position and keep a brand at the top of the minds of their consumers. Consumers tend not to buy from a company unless they have heard about them and respect them. Advertising achieves this by reaching a large audience, positioning and targeting the brand so that consumers are fully aware of the brand existence. Advertising to generate and increase brand awareness is not designed to initiate an immediate response in consumers but is a method of growing a strong, reputable and recognised brand.

If your marketing objectives are to create and grow your brand image, to alter perceptions of your brand, to strengthen your company image or to change the behaviour or attitudes of a group of people, advertising should be one of your key marketing tools. Increasing brand awareness should be on the agenda of every company in order to help develop a long term profitable future, and advertising, whether print, online, press, TV or outdoor, should definitely be worth considering.
